jerusalem bagel-style cherry tomato galette

One of my not-so-guilty pleasures is a chocolate shake. I love to do a dairy-free version so it fits best with my plant-based eating approach. Though I make shakes many ways, this overnight creamy cashew chocolate shake is my new favorite. And let’s face it … anything chilly is welcome in our way-too-hot summer that we’re having right now. Luckily, there’s no “giving up” scrumptiousness, creaminess, or anything else with this shake recipe. It’s one of my answers for the definition of “yum!”
