This recipe sounds yummy! My question is the cashews…when you say “raw” does that mean not roasted? Thanks!
Yes. Not roasted or salted.
Unbelievable! So creamy and rich.

Hi Shane I’m pretty new to your site. How long have you been eating plant based diet. What foods do you eat for protein and how much do we need
Hey, Liz! I’ve been eating plant-based for 7 years. I don’t pay attention to protein content in foods. I just eat enough calories and know I get enough protein. I do CrossFit and run and seem to have no problems putting on muscle. Honestly, protein should never be a concern. Everyone is different, but here is a really great article concerning protein and how much. The goal should be about 8-11% of your total calories should come from protein. Hope this helps. https://www.forksoverknives.com/meeting-protein-needs-simply-by-eating/#gs.5dta0i
Yes- I make my coffee creamer the same way!
Delish!! Love your posts!
Thank you, Julie! Merry Christmas!

Carol, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. It means so much. Merry Christmas and blessings in the new year.

Merry Christmas & thanks for the recipe! Should the cashews be soaked?
If you have a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix, no need to soak. And, with the hot coffee, you should be fine in a regular blender. But, soaking them in hot water for 10 minutes or so won’t hurt anything.
