  • In a blender, blend almonds with 2 cups of fresh water and dates.

  1. YUMMY......I used cheese cloth to strain it and was happy with the results...save the paste/pulp to use for other raw or baked goodies... editing: it is 6 months later and I use this recipe so often...i now could not be with out it :)...use it in green smoothies almost every day lately and just used it in recipe#329187 so decided to update my review from last summer... :)-thanks little Vegan Devil
     
  2. This is a great recipe that is the most similar to the one I make at home when we are fasting. I have found the best way to strain it is to use a cheesecloth. I have also used the mesh device that comes inside my Lalanne Juicer. The result is a delicious, creamy milk that is free of harmful vegetable oil, concentrated sweeteners, and the problems associated with cow’s milk and soy.
     
  3. This is very good! I've made it about three times and I haven't worked out the best way to strain it yet, but the flavor is really good! It's great in smoothies and over cereal. Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have been a vegan for 11 years, although, my one vice, I hate to admit, is a little spoon of honey in a nice cup of tea occasionally. My boyfriend and I live together Cambridge, Ontario. He's new to the area, but I have lived here my whole life. He isn't officially vegan, but since he loves my cooking, he has vegan days a few times a week. I love to bake all sorts of different treats and I tend to make up recipes as I go...I usually forget to write down the ingredients so we never have the same thing twice - but I find some recipes are more interesting that way. My favourite cook book right now is called "Foods that Don't Bite Back" which was a birthday presesnt from a good friend. It has a lot of simple but amazing recipes that are quick to prepare. I am a very active person and I love getting lots of exercise. I take yoga classes and I love to run. My boyfriend and I are constantly out doing some sort of physical activity whether it's biking or hiking or playing a round of golf together.
