A dairy free cashew milk made with dates and cinnamon in a cold press juicer, cashews bring tryptophan which helps the body produce serotonin, the feel good hormone.

Looking for a delicious, healthy alternative to animal milk, such as cow's or goat's milk that is easy to make at home? Then you will love this simple cinnamon cashew milk recipe that can be made in just a few minutes in cold press juicer like the Optimum 600 Big Mouth Slow Juicer or the Optimum 400 Slow Juicer. Want to feel good? Well, cashew nuts are high in the amino acid tryptophan. This helps our bodies to make serotonin, which is the FEEL GOOD hormone responsible for feelings of wellbeing and feeling great! Note: some antidepressant drugs work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Cashews are also a good source of heart healthy fats and magnesium.
