Notes
Tiffy’s Tips~If you are using a high-powered blender, (like Vitamix) this step isn't necessary. If not, you will need to soften the cashews for a creamy texture. Soften cashews by adding them to a bowl and covering with water. Soak for 6 to 48 hours or until very tender. Drain and rinse before using.~I always use 1 ¼ cups of water but adjust for desired consistency.~I use maple syrup for added sweetener but stevia, agave, and dates are excellent choices.~ Purity Coffee is my favorite health-focused coffee brand. Their delicious mold free coffee makes coffee a healthier habit! 20% off with code TIFFANYBLACKMON20.~ I store coffee beans in this airtight container and it keeps the beans fresh for much longer. ~ I swear these coffee mugs make everything taste better! High quality mugs that look good and don’t overheat when warm.
