Detox Pumpkin Seed Milk
What's great about it
I love this pure NUT FREE and anti-inflammatory dairy free milk that is rich in restorative minerals such as zinc, copper, magnesium and potassium that enhances libido and balances your hormones. It is featured in my cookbook Purely Delicious, along with 10 more dairy free milks that are suitable for everyone. This milk is great for people who are looking for a nut-free alternative to almond or cashew milk. Pumpkin seeds are high in minerals and trace minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and manganese as well as zinc, iron, copper, protein and essential fatty acids.

Pumpkin seeds are perfect for those who are detoxification programs as they are easy to digest. The high mineral and protein content of pumpkin seeds also supports collagen production for healthy skin. A spoonful of coconut butter or tahini (made from sesame seeds) helps to make it creamy as well as fight inflammation.
