If you want to get back on the raw food wagon with style and unabashed indulgence, this divinely decadent nutmilk will give you effectively a luxurious pudding in a glass.

Go on, I dare you ; )

Ingredients:

* 1 measuring cup of pecan nuts (125g/4oz)
* 3 measuring cups of pure water (app. 700ml)
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (or piece of vanilla bean)
* 2 Medjool dates
* 2 Tablespoons of dark agave nectar (use 2 more dates if you don’t have this)

Directions:

1) Blend your pecans with the water until no pieces left, then strain into a tall jug ready for stage 2.
2) Pour the “clean” milk into the clean blender and add the vanilla, dates and/or agave nectar.
3) Blend thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
4) Serve and smile!

RAW COACH’S TOP TIPS:

* This will keep for roughly a day in the fridge. Try making a less runny version, pour it into a Tupperware container or ice-cream maker and freeze it for a deliciously decadent ice-cream.
