  • I was really looking forward to making this. The amount of salt totally overpowered the drink. I added about 2 Tbsp of agave nectar hoping to balance it out and it was still too much. I'd recommend cutting back to 1/4 tsp or even making it without and adding only if it needs it.

  • This is my summer drink obsession- it is extremely delicious and scratches that I’d-like-a-pina-colada-but-don’t-want-to-get-day-drunk itch. It’s vegetal and creamy at the same time, like if a garden turned into a vegan milkshake. I add a dollop of honey because I’m a sugar fiend, but it really doesn’t need it.
