Sunday Cooking! 2 recipes I haven't made yet...

Homemade almond milk:

1 cup of almonds
water covering almonds in a bowl
2 dates
filtered water (4 cups)
blender or immersion blender
cheese cloth

1. soak almonds over night in water (or some suggest coconut water to make it sweet, I just used regular water)
2. drain water from soaked almonds
3. put in food processor (with or without the shells, doesn't really matter)
4. add 4 cups of water and the 2 dates
5. blend
6. dumb into a bowl over cheese cloth
7. ENJOY!

This is a messy process no matter how you do it. It was hard for me not to make a mess. Happy fact: it's currently in the fridge and tastes good! I think I might just keep buying it or try to make "Against All Grains" french vanilla creamer after the whole 30 is over. Or find a friend who can help the process.

tip: if you keep the almond meal you can make almond flour, I will figure this out and let you know how to do so.

Chia Seed Pudding:

2 tablespoons of chia seeds
1 ripe banana
1/4 cup of coconut milk (canned)

1. put ripe banana in food processor and add 1/4 cup of coconut milk
2. pulse in chia seeds
3. put in a bowl and refrigerate

I let it chill for 2 hours, enjoyed the WHOLE bowl with fresh strawberries. I will not lie to you...it is amazing!!!!!!!!! I'm contemplating making more later today. It's a great source of nutrients and so sweet all on it's own. It's the perfect treat.
