Have you ever wondered what a plant-based milk would taste like? Homemade cashew milk may be the easiest AND tastiest milk you will ever make. Simply blend and drink.
Benefits:
Cashew milk, plus all plant-based milk, claims to have 50% more calcium compared to cow milk. Next time you are at the grocery store, grab a plant-based bottle of milk and confirm this statement. Green Med Info , a website that provides evidence-based natural medical information, states that cashews are beneficial in preventing cancer and improving heart health. Cashews are great for building strong bones. They are abundant in magnesium and calcium plus copper, which are key in developing flexibility in bones and joints.
