Nut and Seed Milk

Soak 1 cup of nuts or seeds overnight.

Drain nuts or seeds and place in the blender. Add 1 cup of water and whiz until smooth adding more water if needed. Add water to make a desired consistency up to another 3 cups or more.

Sunflower, brazil nuts and macadamia nuts don’t need straining if they have been blended long enough. Other nuts like almonds will need to be strained. Keep any left over pulp and add it to porridge or other cereal.

Chocolate Milk

• 1 serving of Nut or Seed milk
• 2-4 teaspoons of raw cacao powder
• add raw honey to taste
• 1-2 teaspoons of mesquite meal (optional)

You can add lots of other yummy things. For me I like maca powder. To make choc berry add a handful or 2 of soaked goji berries.

Banana Ice Cream

Peel and chop into chunks a few ripe bananas. Place in a covered container and freeze overnight. Put your frozen banana through your single or twin gear juicer with the blank plate on. You’ll be amazed at how it tastes like delicious creamy ice cream.

Raw Pasta Sauce

• ½ cup soaked sun dried tomatoes
• 2 or 3 chopped ripe tomatoes
• 1-2 large dates
• a handful of basil leaves
• salt and pepper optional

Add a dash of cold pressed flax or olive oil to your blender. Turn it on and add garlic cloves to taste. Blend until smooth. You will have a jug of pinky red raw sauce. Add to zucchini noodles or cooled pasta.
