Health Food

A blog making it easier to get healthy, food wise. Some I find online, some I find in books, some I make up myself, But nothing is mine unless stated. Now I know my title isn't the most appetizing title but bare with me because my goal is to make it as easy as possible to make healthy eating, easy and delicious.

Make Your Own: Raw Almond Milk Ingredients 1 cup raw almonds filtered water Directions Place almonds in a container and cover with filtered water.  Leave them in the fridge to soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.  Make sure to add plenty of water, since the almonds will absorb and expand. Rinse the almonds in more filtered water and then place in a sturdy blender (I use a Vitamix, it’s amazing).  Add 3 cups of filtered water.  For creamier milk you can add less water. Puree the almonds and water. Place a fine mesh strainer and cheesecloth over a bowl large enough that there is space at the bottom.  Allow the almond mixture to strain for at least 2 hours. Discard the leftover pulp or, even better, look online at the assortment of recipes using almond meal. If you want to flavor the milk so it tastes more like store brands, try adding a splash of vanilla and agave nectar. Consume within 3 days.  Don’t worry if you see separation in the milk.  Stir it!  Unlike this all-natural milk, store brands contain stabilizers and preservatives.
