After going to Whole Foods Market to buy some raw foods, I had gone home to make my first batch of raw almond milk. I had some almonds soaked in water since last night, and I placed them in a blender with 3 cups of water and, presto… fresh almond milk! I squeezed the stuff through cheese cloth to capture the pulp, and the liquid looks just like fresh milk with some foam on top. Awesome!
I’ll keep the pulp to make some almond cheese later.
Anyway, the end result… I was able to make a very delicious cacao smoothie by blending the following raw, organic ingredients in my blender:
Raw Cacao-Banana Smoothie
- 1 – cup freshly made almond milk
- 1 – large banana
- 1 – tablespoon agave nectar
- 1 – tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 – sprinkle of cacao nibs
- 15 – ice cubes
Be sure to check out my basic recipe for making almond milk.
Note: This is similar to a Cacao Banana Smoothie recipe I posted sometime last year, but the big difference is the raw, freshly made almond milk. Soy milk (from the other recipe) of course, is not raw. But, the almond milk tastes so much better freshly made, and allows me to be 100% Raw!
