Notes
To make in WildSide+ or FourSide jar, follow the instructions below.

- "Pulse" 6-8 times then scrape sides of jar back down to the blade.
- Add dates and secure lid.
- "Pulse" 2-3 times, scrape sides of jar back down to blade.
- Add the remaining cashews and secure lid.

Dates blend better in the Twister jar. Another option that would help when blending in the WildSide+ or FourSide jar is to use date paste rather than raw dates.
I can’t wait to get home and try this. Quick question…Can I substitute raw cashews for mixed nuts (unsalted)?
