Our friends at ‘rosho made this super wholesome, super simple Choco-Banana smoothie the other day. It was a bit of an experiment but ohhhh was it tasty. It turns out chocolate + cashew butter + banana is a winning combination.
You could easily put your own twist on this indulgent drink, depending on your favourite add-ins. Let us know if you give it a go!
Who is behind these delicious vegan cashew butters?
‘rosho is a women-run social enterprise in Tanzania that crafts flavoured gourmet spreads from certified organic cashews. Cashews in Swahili are ‘korosho,’ which is where the brand name comes from.
Rosho in a nutshell:
- Proudly Tanzanian: The cashews come from a certified organic cooperative in southern Tanzania (a total of 950 smallholders), and the cashew butters are produced in Rosho’s own factory in Dar es Salaam.
- Long-term job creation in and outside agriculture.
- Empowering local women: factory workers (all female) receive at least 80% more than the Tanzian minimum wage.
- Handmade, with health in mind: All flavours contain high quality ingredients, without any additives. The goal: to create healthy and at the same time delicious snack options.
