I can't believe it's NUT milk!

My favorite indulgence before bed is to savor a tall glass of milk. Cashew milk, that is.
Cashew milk. SO creamy. SO rich. So good for you!

Regular pasteurized cow's milk, containing the for humans difficult to digest lactose and casein, is an absolute health disaster. Pasteurized milk consumption has been tied to everything from allergies, asthma, eczema and mucus production. Pasteurized milk is simply one of the biggest contributors in our diet to inflammatory based diseases. Everything you know about cow's milk is probably part of the Dairy Industry myth. All cow's milk - regular and organic - has 59 active hormones and allergens. Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe level), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53 if you include LS-50), blood, feces, dead bacteria and pus. Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate, including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing; the 50'ies strontium-90 problem.

Now how's that for enjoying dipping your home-baked cookies in - yummy in your tummy. Or not.
And that's why I make my own cashew milk - not only is it nutritious, but even more importantly: it is simply delicious!I crave rich, creamy and full-bodied flavors and cashew milk's got it!
So, what's in it?
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tbsp. cashew-butter OR 2 tbsp. cashews
  • 1 medjol date
  • 1 pinch of sea salt
Add a banana with your cashew milk before bed to calm down your CNS!
And I like to add a scrape of real vanilla pods as well. Sometimes I switch vanilla for 1/2 tsp. each cardamom and maca which gives it a deep fragrant, earthy flavor! You can get hold of maca here.
So, what to do?
Pour everything in a blender or vita-mix and hold tight for 30 seconds.
That's it!
Nutritious and delicious - once you go nuts, you never go back!
