If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want. ~Elbert Hubbard

Homemade Almond Milk
Ever since I started my healthier diet, I've been drinking almond milk instead of higher-calorie cow's milk. I'd never though of making my own almond milk until I came across a recipe on (https://www.facebook.com/7DayRawDetox?group_id=0) and I'm hooked!
Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight in enough water to cover them. This softens them and makes it easier to blend.
This is the result of the overnight soaking
Next, drain the almonds (save the water, as it has nutrients beneficial to plants) and blend with 4 cups of water until smooth
Add Agave Nectar, a few dates, vanilla extract to taste and blend for a few more seconds.
Next, strain the milk using a layered cheesecloth
It is best to let it strain slowly, but if you get a little impatient like I do you could press down on the pulp with a spatula or spoon.
Here is the finished product! Ready to be enjoyed in a smoothie, with cereal or cookies!
