Methods/steps
Combine 1 1/3 cups of the water with the millet in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 55 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
Transfer the millet to a blender. Add the remaining cup of water and all of the cashews and salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, until completely smooth.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Basic White Sauce will keep for up to 2 days.

Juice made from fresh, raw fruits and vegetables is tasty, very nutritious and colorful. We often mix the fruit and vegetables in one filling breakfast drink.
