Nut mylks, which I spell with a 'Y' to denote the lack of dairy, are super simple and quick to whip up in any blender. Just place a handful of your favorite raw, untoasted nut or seed into your blender with two to four cups of filtered water, or better yet, coconut water, and then blend smooth. This mylk can be flavored with chocolate powder, vanilla, orange, cinnamon, and/or banana, and sweetened with fruit, dates, stevia, or agave syrup. The varieties are endless.
