- 2/3 cup refined coconut oil melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup bing cherries for color
- 2 cups strawberries
Servings: mini cheesecakes

Recipe Notes
Helpful Hint: If you are unable to use fresh fruit, be sure to fully thaw your strawberries before adding them into the filling; otherwise the coconut oil will harden up and create a chunky looking texture.

I 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!
