Almond Milk

Almonds are a super food that offer many benefits;

Good for brain development
Regulates cholesterol
Mono-saturated fat, protein and potassium contained in almonds are good for the heart
Used in Skin care
Regulates blood pressure
Protection against diabetes: Almonds also help in reducing the rise in sugar and insulin levels after meals

Because I include very little dairy in my diet, I have learned how to make fresh Almond Milk.

Not bad for a city girl!

Proportions I use are 1 cup almonds to 2 cups water. Adjust for desired amount of milk.

Step 1:

Soak your almonds overnight for 6 hours or night in a jar or bowl. Discard water.

Step 2:

Place 1 cup soaked almonds plus 2 cups of water (preferably alkaline) in Vitamix link, blender or even Magic Bullet. Blend until smooth.

Step 3:

Pour mixture through a strainer or nut bag.

Step 4:

Store in refrigerator.

Step 5:

Enjoy!! Use it in your cereal, tea, coffee, soups, hot cocoa, puddings, ice cream and anything you can think of.

Variations:

Once you begin making your own almond milk you will find your favorite adaptations to this very basic formula including adding dates, cinnamon, vanilla, shredded coconut, and cacao powder or pieces. This milk be used hot or cold.

Wait! Don’t toss the almond meal….

Save and store the almond meal for smoothies, a base for cookies and deserts.
Last week I used this along with chopped walnuts and seasonings to coat fish I was baking. Once it was baked I squeezed a little lemon juice on top. Nevin loved this.

I had the privilege of presenting as a keynote speaker at Elaine’s inaugural Renewed Living workshop/luncheon, and I stayed for the entire event. Her event execution was superb. Elaine’s passion for health & wellness, and her willingness to share her own health journey for the benefit of others, contributed to an authentic, educational, and highly engaging experience. In addition, I followed up with Elaine after her event with specific questions, and she quickly responded. Elaine’s focus fills a void in a crowded event planning market. Her information was relevant, useful, and actionable. I look forward to investing my valuable time to attend her future events.

THANK YOU so much for the advice and information on green juicing which I am absolutely addicted to. Your raw food tips, coupled with simple steps to better health have helped me lose 78 pounds! Yes weight loss, although not the focus as you say-getting healthy is-was a direct by-product. I have not felt better in years. My 2 yr old thanks you, her daddy will be around to see her milestones in life. Thank you Elaine and the folks at Renewed Living!

I met Elaine a couple of years ago at a Yoga class…my life has changed since then. She is an awesome person and so willing to share all her knowledge. I was starting to juice at that time but Elaine provided so much more information. She also introduced us to the needs of Alkaline water and the general needs of keeping our bodies alkaline. She is a good friend and we are blessed to have met her!
