This is the step by step process to making awesome Homemade Cashew Milk! Due to the increasing number of people with dairy allegories, and digestive issues. Milk alternatives such as soy, almond, coconut, and cashew milk's, are becoming more, and more popular. I have tried all of these milk alternatives, and my favorite by far was the  Cashew  Milk. I started out buying these milk alternatives at the grocery store. But I soon realized that even the organic, non gmo, and "healthier", companies making these milks, all had added ingredients.

To me that is the best way of going about getting your meat ,if you choice to incorporate it in your diet. This article is about vegan foods and supplements though, so back on track. Vegans tend to be thinner, have lower serum cholesterol, and lower blood pressure, reducing their risk of heart disease. However, eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
