THIS DAIRY-FREE MILK REPLACEMENT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ITS SMOOTH, CREAMY, DELICIOUS AND A CINCH TO MAKE!
I love this in my coffee, matcha, smoothies, and just about anywhere conventional milk is used.
It's great for kiddos too. Mine love this straight-up or with my Nut-Free Chocolate Granola! ⠀

When you go paleo or whole30 or are just trying to avoid dairy this recipe is a wonderful DIY option. I found myself going overboard with almond milk when I went dairy-free and I wanted to change things up. This milk is the perfect option! Both the coconut and the cashews are naturally sweet nuts so if you prefer, you can omit the date.
