Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----ALMOND MILK-----
1/2 c Almonds
1 tb Syrup, maple
2 c Water
-----SHAKE-----
2 c Fruit -- frozen
1 tb Syrup, maple
Use raw almonds.
Freeze strawberries, bananas, blueberries, peaches, or
fruit of your choice.
Place almonds in blender and grind to fine powder. Add
syrup and 1 c water. Blend 1-2 minutes until smooth.
With blender running on high, slowly add remaining
water. Blend 2 minutes. Place strainer over large
bowl. Line with cheesecloth (not 100% neccessary, but
recommended. Otherwise strain twice with very fine
strainer.) Pour almond milk slowly into strainer and
let filter through. When all milk has passed through
strainer, press remaining milk out of accumulated
almond fiber. Milk will keep in fridge 4-5 days.
Leftover fiber can be used as moisturizing body scrub
in the shower. Blend almond milk and shake ingredients
in blender until creamy. Frozen bananas will begin to
discolor after a week or so. Eat shakes right away,
because the bananas can oxidize, changing the
appearence and taste. Use only ripe bananas for the
best shakes.
