Notes
Other nuts or seeds can be substituted for the cashews, such as macadamia nuts, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, sunflower seeds, etc. Use 1 3/4 cup seeds to replace 2 cups raw nuts.
Coconut milk can be substituted with 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut plus 1 cup water. Blend dried coconut with cashews during first step, then add the water along with the MCT oil.
For those allergic to coconut, substitute another healthy oil such as flax, avocado, or other nut/seed oils that can be tolerated. Substitute the coconut milk with another non-dairy milk
