Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Well, I guess the thing to do would be to find out how many calories almonds have and figure it out. I just thought because it is a nut the calories would be high. I will give you the recipe in case you decide to try it. You can buy almond milk in health food stores but I am thinking it may be pasteurized, not sure. Almond Milk Start with 1 lb. of shelled almonds (dry) in a blender. Blend until they no longer fall to the center. Push them to the center with a knife several times as they stick to the side as the blender is running. Add sesame or safflower oil until pulp is covered (approx. 2 Tbsp.) Blend for 2 min. more and then add warm water until mixture is desired thickness. Two or three glasses of water should be sufficient. One or Two tbsp. of maple syrup and a dash of salt may be added if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Thanks for that recipe, I hadn't thought of adding oil. I know you can buy it in some places (not where i live- in the sticks!) but I couldn't afford it anyway I'd have to make it, so thanks. Anyone got any good websites i could use as a resource to check out the calories and nutrients of foods, I have a book but it doesn't have everything in it, Thanks, you've been helpful, Chris.
