nut milks, seed milks, and dairy-free shakes

HOMEMADE NUT MILK AND SEED MILK

Total time: less than 5 minutes
Makes 4 servings


Ingredients:
1 cup of nuts or seeds or grains (almonds, cashews, macadamia
nuts, Brazil nuts, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, rice, oats, or tigernuts)
4 cups filtered water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 seedless dates, optional (or use figs, 1 tablespoon honey, or maple syrup)
Pinch of sea salt

Actions:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix together until a smooth, milky consistency is achieved. Drink.

Tips:
• For a creamier and smoother almond milk, soak your nuts or seeds for 4 hours. For example, when the almond skin becomes soft from soaking, you can pop the almonds right out of their skins before blending. Then you can drain the nut or seed milk with a cheesecloth to remove all the fiber.
• Make a batch of nut or seed milk every Saturday so you have your own homemade milk all week. This will save you from consuming the preservatives that are found in store bought nut milks. And, it will save you a bunch of money!

Variations—add these ingredients to the above recipe:
• Add 3 tablespoons of cacao powder for Chocolate Milk.
• Add 1 cup strawberries for Strawberry Milk.
• Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
• Add 1 teaspoon turmeric.
• Add 2 cups of ice to make shakes.
• Add 8 cups of ice to make smoothies.
• Add 4 frozen bananas or any fruit to make smoothies.
