Raw Vanilla Cashew Milk

#Dairy-free #Vegan

If you’ve never made your own nut milk before, this is the one to start with as it’s super-straightforward and doesn’t need straining like almond milk does!  It’s unbelievably creamy, naturally sweetened with dates, and has that soft hint of vanilla and cinnamon that makes everything feel a little bit more comforting. I love pouring this over warm oats in the morning or blending it into smoothies for the kids—it’s such a lovely alternative to store-bought options, and you know exactly what’s going into it. Just the good stuff. All you need is a handful of wholesome ingredients, a blender, and a couple of minutes, and you’re good to go.
