This recipe has been one of my favorites for a while now – I’ve been meaning to post it forever! We are mostly dairy free (minus cheese, am I right?), and this cashew milk satisfies that craving for a creamy rich flavor in coffee, smoothies, cereal and even ice cream. Your smoothies will never be the same!
Great if you or your family have dairy intolerances, your breastfeeding or need to up the protein in your or your kid’s diet. The best part? You don’t need to strain this nut milk like most require – it comes out smooth in a high-speed blender like a vitamin. Be sure to share and tag @hydeparkmoms if you make this yummy recipe!
