Thank you Elmhurst for sponsoring today’s episode. As you’ve heard me mention many times before, ingredients matter! Especially when it comes to plant milk options. Instead of choosing a plant milk filled with unnecessary ingredients like fillers and gums, the Elmhurst unsweetened plant milks have just two ingredients: water and nuts. Personally, I am a huge fan of the unsweetened cashew milk and use it every single morning in my espresso latte.
