Hi Irene, cashew milk does have a relatively high fat content. The information in the nutrition content shown is an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist’s advice.

You say that orange juice would stop the seeds from plumping up but would the recipe work with oat milk or cow’s milk. My son is vegan so I will try that version first but wonder whether it would adapt satisfactorily for me as a non-vegan.

It’s sad you got no response to this. I was thinking the same thing and another thought I have is whether adding a small amount of baking soda to the juice would make a difference. The baking soda would increase the pH of the juice without significantly altering the flavor. I read that mild acid should have minimal effect on the ability of the seeds to plump up so why not up the juice pH. To raise the pH of orange juice, approximately 3.5, to a very mild acid level of 6, only 6 grams of baking soda would be required.

Another consideration is using almond milk which is alkaline and would react with orange juice to raise its pH. Cashew milk is slightly acidic which may be why Kate had the problem with using an acidic milk with acidic orange juice.
