Cocoa Cashew Cream

Sharing.

Why are we so hesitant to share? Whether it’s possessions, money, ideas, time, compliments… our inclination is to hold on for dear life. To protect our supposed finite resources.

I work at a place where giving is the rule, not the exception. The unspoken tenet is “if you have something, give it.” Oh my, what a fruitful and beautiful tenet this is. Instead of draining resources, giving creates infinite possibility. It refills you even fuller than you were before.

Thanks to the inspiration of my “co-workers”, I am carrying this tenet into all corners of my life. I recently read this piece of wisdom: if your first instinct is to give something, assuming it is a reasonable thing to give, do it. It will only produce more fruit.

So go forth and give- give compliments, connections, hugs, ideas, possessions, flowers, smiles, an extra few minutes of sleep (giving to yourself is fruitful too!). It feels good, it generates good, it is good.

I am beyond excited to give this recipe to you. It is a staple in our kitchen. It goes on everything- oats, cereal, fruit, and a plain old spoon. It’s sweet without sugar, creamy without dairy, chocolatey without chocolate chips. Make it, love it, and then give the recipe to a friend.

Try it with a batch of simple Vegan Overnight Oats, and add sliced strawberries (they are especially fresh and amazing right now).
