Berry, Berry Boom Smoothie Recipe~Plant Based Diet

Since I’ve been juicing and researching I have come across a lot of smoothie recipes. 

If I decide to try  any of them, I will try what they suggest first; 
then I change it up a bit. 

I will  add a natural spice, or change a fruit of two, sometimes doing this makes my smoothies healthier than the original recipe called for and I like that.
 

Here is another delicious recipe you might like to try, I call it my:

Berry, Berry Boom Smoothie

You will need a

Blender

1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries

5-8 Fresh Strawberries

1 frozen Banana

½ cup Rice Milk

1/2 cup ice

 Blend until smooth.  
Serve immediately

 

Raw Almond Milk Recipe-Plant Based Diet

One of the many changes I've eliminated in my family’s diet is the consumption of dairy products. I would either purchase Rice Milk or Almond Milk, now I currently make my own Almond milk and it’s  easy and very good. 

You can purchase raw Almonds on line or your local Whole Foods Store.

You will need:

Raw Almonds

A blender

A cheese cloth, muslin cloth or, Strainer

Fresh Ground Cinnamon or Vanilla Extract

Water

MAKES about 2+ cups MILK

1-2 cups whole raw almonds and clean water to soak the almonds* preferable overnight, but for at least 12-14 hours

2-3* cups water

Soak your almonds for 14 hours at room temperature in a large mixing bowl with clean water.

Drain and rinse your almonds.

In a blender, blend the almonds with 1 cup of water until smooth

Then add your ground cinnamon or vanilla to taste

 I use 1 Table spoon of Vanilla Extract

…blend on high for about 1 minute.

Add the second cup of water and blend for 2 minutes on high.

 At this point it is up to you whether you would like your milk thin, the consistency of 2% milk or not therefore slowly add more water and blend for  another 2 minutes on high

Strain this mixture in a fine metal mesh, strainer or cheese cloth strainer and

 reserve the pulp for other recipes…(coming soon)

Refrigerate your milk in a sealed glass container for up to 5 days.

*Soaking nuts such as almonds helps to reduce phytic acid - making it easier to digest and reducing symptoms of bloating and gas when consuming nuts/legumes/grains/beans
