2-3 Tbsp organic raw cashew butter*
3 Cups of filtered water
Optional: pinch of salt, vanilla, cinnamon, dates, honey
Add all ingredients to a Vitamix or other powerful blender. Blend until smooth and store in a glass bottle in the refrigerator for 7 days (smell before each use it will start to smell sour when it’s going bad). Shake well before drinking.
*I have made this recipe with other nut butters but highly recommend using the linked raw cashew butter by Artisana for the milk as it is creamier and gets a much more “milky” consistency!

Grounding Elixir
Ingredients:
12oz of homemade cashew milk (any milk will work!)
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ashwagandha powder (or 1 dropperful of ashwaghanda tincture)
1/2 tsp honey or agave
Directions:
Heat the milk in a small pot on the stove. Mix in spices and honey. Serve with a cinnamon stick if you have one (it also doubles as a straw)! Relax and sip the day’s stress away.
*Ashwagandha is what I call nature’s Valium. It has a very calming effect on the body and has been shown to reduce anxiety and help with insomnia. If you haven’t heard of it, you need to add it to your medicine cabinet asap! Cardamom is one of my favorite spices. It has many health benefits and has antidepressant and anti anxiety effects. Cinnamon is uplifting and warming. It has many benefits including improving digestion and Qi circulation (according to Traditional Chinese Medicine).
