What You Need to Make This Simple & Easy Cashew Milk

Cashews: Cashews are my favorite nut to use for nut milk. Why? For starters, they tend to yield a creamier milk than almonds do. But, unlike almonds, cashews don’t need to be soaked overnight (or at all) in order to for them to blend into a creamy, milky consistency. What could be better than that?
Maple Syrup: Maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness, without the refined sugars.
Vanilla Extract: The vanilla extract helps to make this cashew milk taste sweet and delicious!
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Of course, cocoa powder is essential to making chocolate milk.
Maca Powder: This is optional, but I love adding in some maca powder to give this milk a malty flavor.
Cold Water: Cold water is what forms the base of this milk.
Sea Salt: A pinch of sea salt adds the best flavor to this milk!
