Chef tips
For an even smoother texture, blend the cashews with the oat milk for 20 seconds before adding the remaining ingredients.
Substitutions
You can substitute mandarin with clementines, honey with maple syrup, and plain yogurt with plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version. If using another plant milk, adjust the amount to keep the texture balanced.
