Vegan Chocolate Cashew Milk (Sugar-Free!)

Nut milk month continues on the blog! We’ve recently made Brazil Nut Milk, Nut Milk Pulp Macaroons and today I’m sharing a recipe that was originally posted on MindBodyGreen.com last week- Vegan Chocolate Cashew Milk. I love this recipe because it’s reminiscent of the boxed chocolate milk I used to drink as a kid (that would always give me a stomach ache and sugar headache) but it’s filled with nutritious goodness. Raw cacao provides antioxidants and maca powder gives this chocolate milk energizing and strengthening power. If you don’t have either of these super foods on hand you can omit the maca powder and substitute cocoa powder for cacao- it will still be super tasty!

  1. I just made this and it was excellent. Much better than store bought, and I couldn’t even wait for it to cool to have my first glass!
