Free Raw Food Recipe - Helen's How To Make Almond
Milk - How to Make the Best Almond Milk! - Raw
Recipe
If you've thought about eating a healthier diet a
good way to do it is by substituting some raw food recipes for some of the daily cooked food recipes you use
now.
Although most people think a raw food diet
consists of eating fruits and salads and maybe a handful of nuts and seeds, the raw food diet is much more than
that. You can prepare dozens of copy cat recipes, those that mimic the standard American diet fare
you are probably used to eating. Raw Food Recipes
For example one of the best raw food recipes that
is easy to make is almond milk. You can easily make your own almond milk cheaply, at home, to substitute for
harmful cow's milk and boxed soy and rice products. Soy milk and other boxed
milks are highly processed.
Although a better alternative to cow's milk they still do not have the health
benefits you get from a nice tall glass of homemade almond milk.
Making almond milk is relatively easy and doesn't
require any unusual ingredients. You can use
dates, honey or agave nectar for sweetener and still keep it in its living or alive
state.
To make almond milk you only
need one cup of raw almonds. Make sure not to buy or use roasted
almonds. You soak the raw almonds overnight in pure water, drain and put in a blender along with 3 cups of pure filtered or spring water and blend for about 2 ½ minutes.
Then pour into a nut milk bag, sprout bag or fine mesh strainer. Squeeze tightly if you're using a bag. Pour into a glass jar, add your sweetener and
refrigerate. I like to use mason jars with white plastic lids (available in canning departments at your
grocery).
For sweetener use either a tablespoon of
raw agave nectar or 1-2 tablespoons of raw honey or 2-3 dates. Using dates is more expensive and you have
to add them after straining and blend again. Not as easy as the agave or honey. Check for the
sweetness you like after adding agave or honey to get the right sweetness for you.
Almond milk will keep for up to five days or
so. Use
it on sliced strawberries and bananas in a bowl, drink as is, add nutmeg for an eggnog flavor
etc. Use it wherever you would use other milks.
Of course it can be used on cereal, muesli,
granola in a bowl if you still eat those. At the least try to
incorporate it into your diet.
It'll vastly help improve your health. This is especially true
if you eliminate cow's milk and other dairy products. Raw food diets are the healthiest diets and help you lose
weight naturally. Raw Food Recipes
There are many other copy cat raw food recipes
you can make with living foods that will replace the cooked foods in your diet. If you're a mom with
young kids or teenagers, you will be greatly benefiting your kids' diets with almond milk and other great living
food recipes. They will never know the difference and their overall health will benefit. There are many
other simple and easy raw food recipes you can fix for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Raw Food Recipes
