Sweet Cashew Milk

by Leave a Comment

Sweet Cashew MilkI was inspired to make this delicious glass of yumminess after being introduced to it through a juice cleanse! It was my favorite juice of the cleanse, and I wanted to recreate it! (I personally think mine is better… No bias though.) I knew that it’d taste fantastic in coffee, and it’d be the perfect “milk” to my raw chocolate chip cookies (recipe coming soon). Not only that, I knew that it’d be the perfect replica for any recipe calling for milk. And because I can’t have diary, I needed that replica! Give it a go and let me know how you enjoy your cashew milk!

raw-vegan-chocolate-fudgeI can’t believe it’s that time of the year again! This time last year, I made it my personal mission to create the first NATURALLY HEALTHY DESSERT COOKBOOK! As I reflect on all the great gifts and achievements of 2015, I wonder what other amazing opportunities await in 2016. At least, the book is officially done and 2016 will be my year to share it with the world!

Now, without further ado, I bring you my latest recipe! Drum roll, please…Chocolate Fudge! This Chocolate Fudge recipe is the healthiest version of fudge you will ever find. It’s the perfect holiday treat to enjoy and share with friends and family! 

Happy Holidays,
