Homemade Cashew Milk with No-Waste Granola
As one does with the advent of the new year, I made a resolution for 2019 to waste less. I've finally begun to address my wasteful habits in the kitchen, the area of my life in which I spend the bulk of my time, and consequently generate the most waste. And what better place to start than with a super crunchy, no-waste granola recipe?
This recipe actually results into two delicious and breakfast friendly components: Cashew Milk and Cashew Granola. The fact that the waste generated from the cashew milk is repurposed in the granola is just the cherry on top of this two-for-the-price-of-one recipe sundae! I hope this recipe inspires you to get creative in the kitchen and sparks a journey to waste less in your own life, however seemingly small your actions may be.
*This recipe requires a high powered blender and a nut milk bag or cheese cloth, just as a heads up!
