I’ve been obsessed with adding this delicious home made nut mylk to my morning coffee.  Many of you were interested and requested this recipe after I posted it on my Instagram stories, so here it is!  Eliminating dairy has really helped my gut health and why I try my best to stick to almond and cashew milks all together. This nut mylk recipe is a healthy alternative to your traditional coffee creamer or steamed milk.

Making your own nut mylk is so simple and surprisingly creates the most amazing froth. Thanks to the balance between the cashews and almonds, it’s mylk results in the perfect constancy when used with a frother. It has a light and smooth consistency, with an added sweetness from the added date.  You’ll appreciate how easy it is to whip up. Enjoy!
