With this recipe breakfast will be the best meal of the day! This egg-free, cholesterol-free French Toast features cashews, so they're lighter and fluffier than the old-fashioned version. Cashews are lower in fat than most other nuts, including almonds, peanuts, pecans, and walnuts. They also provide essential fatty acids, B vitamins, protein, iron, and zinc. The high oleic acid content in cashews promotes good cardiovascular health.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
2 Tbs. raw cashews
4 pitted dates
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 Tbs. whole wheat flour
7 pieces of bread

Directions:

1. Whiz all ingredients but bread in blender until smooth. Pour into a shallow bowl.
2. Dip the slices of bread into the mix and place on a cookie sheet.
3. Bake at 400º F until golden brown. Turn and brown the other side.
4. Top with applesauce or fresh fruit. You bet you deserve it!
