Pumpkin Seed Nog

1/2 cup raw, organic pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight
1/2 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in 2 1/2 cups water
pinch of vanilla or 1 vanilla bean (soaked with dates)
pinch of pink himalayan salt
2 teaspoons organic cinnamon powder
pinch of organic nutmeg
2 additional cups of water

Directions:
Strain and rinse the pumpkin seeds.
In a blender (I use a Vitamix) add all the ingredients (including the date soak water) and blend well until smooth and frothy.

This Nog is also great as a milk substitute for lattes and anything else you would normally use milk.
