Ingredients

  • 2 cups homemade cashew milk (blend raw cashews with water, a pinch of salt, and optional vanilla or dates)2 or use cashew milk from a grocery store
  • 3 Tbsp pumpkin purée (unsweetened, organic)
  • 1–2 Tbsp pure maple syrup, to taste

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil (unrefined, virgin)1
  • Pinch of pink Himalayan salt for trace minerals and electrolytes1
