sprouted almond milk

[Guest guest]

I'm guessing that making milk from sprouted almonds is the same as non-sprouted? so...

 

Put about 2 cups of water in a blender and add about a half cup of almonds slowly blending in between each time you add. from here it is a matter of taste. Continue to add up to another 1/2 cup of almonds until you get the consistancy and flavor you like.

 

I remember i orginally tried making my own almond milk back in the 80's when i read about it in Fit for Life. I also use almonds when I make smoothies in order to thicken them up and make them creamier instead of milk or dairy (as well as sometimes using coconut milk!)

depends on your particular taste and what you are using it for. I have never felt the need to strain it.

Back in jan or feb we had this discussion if you check the message archives... here is Lisa's recipe

 

 

 

 

Almond Milk

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soak 1/4 cup raw almonds in 1 cup of distilled/purified water overnight. Pour the almonds and the water they were soaked in into a blender and add raw honey and vanilla if you wish. Blend for 2 minutes. You can strain the mixture after blending if you wish. I do, as I don't like the gritty taste of the milk otherwise.

Hi guys,

 

I see that Suzi has already posted the recipe. Thanks Suzi :-)

 

Please note that Valorie, Doc's wife, taught me how to make this - it's her recipe. And it's delicious :-)

 

What I normally do, is use 200gr raw organic almonds, sprout them, and then blend them, which gives me 2 litres of milk. Half of this I strain to use for drinking, and half of it I don't strain, which I then use for cereals etc, and in my smoothie in the mornings. This lasts me max 2 days, which is just about right. I find it doesn't keep longer anyway.

 

Happy drinking :-)

 

love,

Lisa

Juice is good. I lived for about 3 months totally on carrot

juice with apple and celery and occasionally beets, maybe a

bit of cabbage and what ever else i could conjure up and

never felt better nor more energetic in my life. Then I went

back to eating vegies and mostly what other people eat but

continued taking at least two pounds of carrots etc through

the juicer. Before I did this I arose in pain and went to

bed in pain. While juicing I even held down two jobs for

some time. Then I quit the juice as i got tired of messing

with that fandangled juicer and couldn't find decent carrots

except at the health store and they wanted 2 dollars a lb! .

Not long before i was back in pain. Too busy, up night and

day working on computer programming and not time to think

about it. Then my hands got reall bad. had to do something

about it.

 

Now I usually have brand flakes with wheat germ, oat bran,

ground flax, and ginger to fortify it, and wet down with soy

milk labeld not GE., then later a tossed salad with fat free

dressing, then maybe an energy bar with glass of soy milk,

couple of hours later an apple or banana with maybe a few

pecans or raisins, then for main meal a vegetable casserole

with all fresh frozen vegies and brown rice seasoned with a

bit of maybe fahita seasoning and sprinkled with chicken

breast bits, then later half a can of slim-fast (just

recently started) and if get too hungry (seldom) a bit of

popcorn. I don't eat anything too close to bedtime as have

trouble with esophageal acid reflux. Have to sleep with

pillows piled high to keep the acid where it belongs. No

problem. I have been diagnosed with RA, fibromylgia,

peripheral Neuropathy, and esophageal acid reflux. Otherwise

i am in good condition.

 

I walk about 30 to 60 minutes a day, work in my garden and

keep my house reasonably clean, and do a bit of volunter

work one day a week.

 

Rhuematoligist prescribes 5 mg prednisone daily, ..when I

did the test then got off it my RA flared up monstrously so

he insists on the minimum of pred for now. I only take 3

prescriptions; the pred and also Naproxen 500mg twice a day

and Plaquenil 200mg twice a day. For the acid reflux i gave

away the nexium and started taking acidolphus, enzymes and

DGL (De-gly...Licoris) and it is doing better than the

Nexium and Zantax or whatever. ( the acidophilus between

meals as needed, the DGL before meals and as needed and the

enzymes after meals when needed.)

 

I also take 00 cap of ginger extra with morning meal, vit E

and multivitamins and more ground flax seed with salad or

what ever , and use strong tincture of ginger root to bathe

my hands and joints when needed and the last batch I added

comfrey as it is good, too. I use comfrey salve that I make

for any bruises or minor wounds, cold sores (seldom have

unless feet get cold). Have a formula for pain I use

occasionally with tincture of oats, scullcap, vervain,

camomile and two other ingredients that I forget at this

moment. Just a few drops under the tongue. Pretty good.

Better than NSAIDs

 

Four years ago a gentleman (Jim) gave me the formula almost

the exact replica of the one DOC posted as Intestinal

cleans #1 and Jim says he got it from book by Dr Schol (SP)!

It had so much birds eye pepper in it I was afraid to take

it until a couple of weeks ago ( I had encapsulated it and

what is wierd, I did not remember the date that I got it but

decided to call the gent today and when I looked at the

receipt where i bought it with his name and phone number it

was dated 8 Jul 1999, just exactly 4 years ago!!!)

 

Anyway, I had started taking it a couple of weeks ago but

was worried as to how much i should take and that was the

reason i called him. Anyway, taking one a day of that. Will

start taking two a day and see how that works out. (forgive

the lack at times of capitols. My left pinkie is so numb i

can't always hit the shift or caps or the a and ssss.! and I

hate taking so much time correcting stuff!)

 

I had the RA pretty well in control while I was taking

ginger root daily, but quit when Dr gave me other

medications but I have been going back to it as it has

helped tremendously and I am hoping to through out the

prednisone (sp) in time.

 

I am in really good health other than the above and very

thankful. Know a lot of folks less fortunate.

Have good color, skin pretty good for my age, fair muscle

for my age.. it's my idiot mind that's going!

Getting absent minded. Ask me the time, I'll tell you how to

build a clock! sorry ..got started didn't know where to

quit.

Love, Lee.

Lee,

sounds like you're on the right track... add total tonic to your diet and cayenne. I'm sure Doc will have more to say.
