Sweetened Cashew Creamer is fast, simple and creamy. Make a weekly batch and this wonderful option can always be on hand.
I have coffee every morning. There is no shying away from it and I am taking full responsibility along with the fact that I have to have creamer. Thank goodness for cashews!
My brain does not seem to be working yet. It is early morning and I think I am going to go in and get a cup of coffee. Oh, boy! Cashew creamer here I come.

hahaha! Leave it to me Joy. I meant animal fats. I need to change that. Thanks for the heads up.

This looks amazing. I do have a question though. The first line of the post states that it is fat free. Can you explain that to me? I thought cashews contained fat? I am still going to make it because I eat fat, I was just curious. Thanks so much. I have just found your website and I am in love. Everything looks amazing!

My husband hates almond milk and coconut milk in his coffee, but he needs that creaminess. This is something we haven’t tried yet! Fingers crossed…:)

Love this! I’ve been using cashew milk in my coffee lately (it’s so good!) and I bet it’s even better with that little hit of maple.
