Green Almond Milk
Ingredients
• 3 cups water
• ⅓ cup raw almonds*
• 1 romaine heart, roughly chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 2 kale leaves, stems removed
• 4 pitted dates
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if desired)
• 3-4 ice cubes
Instructions
1.Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until completely smooth. (The ice helps keep the ingredients cold.) Pour the mixture into a nut milk bag and strain into a large bowl, gently squeezing all of the liquid out of the bag. Discard the pulp or save for another use. (Perhaps it could be used for a grain-free cracker?)
2.Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
*For best digestion, soak raw almonds for 8-12 hours in the fridge, then drain and rinse well. They do taste better this way and blend easier, too.
