Curious, how long will this keep in the fridge?

Omgoodness, just re-started eating vegan again (this time really focusing on getting enough healthy fats) and WOW! This is awesome!  So creamy, it tastes better than something that comes from Starbucks!

This is probably a dumb question but soaked in water?  Or if not water soak in what?

Recipe sounds great Are these raw cashews and do you think that the honey could be omitted and not spoil the consistency?

I just tried this and it’s really good.  I tasted it before I put it in my coffee and it seemed to have too much honey.  But mixed into my coffee it was great.  I usually use 2 spoons of sucanat in my coffee, but with this I only had to use 1.  

It was a decent amount of work since I had to make the coconut milk right before the creamer, but I think better planning on my part next time and it won’t be so bad.  It’s just a lot to go through before I’ve had my morning coffee.  :)

This sounds great! I think I’ll make some using stevia, though, as I’m on the cancer diet and can’t have sugar. Thank you!
