* By activating the cashews it mean that they have been soaked in water for 2-4 hours prior to them being used. I generally soak them overnight so that they are ready to go for my smoothie in the morning. The advantage of soaking the nuts means that it increases the nutritional value of the nut along with breaking down the problematic compounds that help enhance their digestibility.

* Mango cheeks refers to the 2 fleshy halves of the mango.
