Strawberry Cashew Protein Bread

Have you ever baked with cashew butter? It is my favorite nut butter to bake with because it's already more buttery than the other kinds and it's so silky and smooth. All of that yumminess transfers to the treat you're making. Yes, please! This protein bread was certainly no exception! You'll love the texture and flavor of this bread. And strawberries are just so damn good! Enjoy!
