The ingredients
Almonds and cashews are a great source of Vitamin E, Vitamin D and calcium – all which are great for sustained energy and fueling your day. Meanwhile, oats are a superb source of iron, magnesium and selenium, and work to help you feel fuller for longer.
These deliciously creamy mylks are super quick to make and contain no fillers, sweeteners or thickeners. They’re the perfect addition to your morning cuppa and are a great alternative in your smoothies or when baking. They also steam great over coffee, cacao, and matcha.
Better yet, you can use any leftover mylk to make delicious homemade treats like this one.
For a touch of sweetness, choose from your choice of dates, cinnamon, honey or vanilla bean to add to these recipes.

Almond & Cashew Mylk
Ingredients:
- ½ cup raw natural Ceres Organics Organic Raw Whole Almonds
- ½ cup raw natural Ceres Organics Organic Cashews Whole Raw
- 3 cups filtered water
Method:
- Cover almonds and cashews with hot water and let soak for 30 minutes, alternatively cover and let sit refrigerated overnight.
- Drain and rinse nuts. Add to a high-speed blender with three cups of chilled filtered water.
- Blend on high for approximately 30 seconds.
- Line a sieve with a cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the mylk mixture into the sieve through the cheesecloth and let drain, gently agitating with a wire whisk to speed up the process. Once the liquid has drained, gently bundle up and squeeze the cheesecloth to get out every drop.
