Alllll about Almond Milk!

Hey guys! As a plant based water, my go to milk is almond milk! I usually get unsweet vanilla from Silk. 

I love almond milk. Even before I decided to go plant based, I wasn’t the biggest milk fan. Other than icecream… mmmmm. Luckly there are almond and coconut based icecream so we are good! 

Almond milk is versatile and delectable. I enjoyed it this morning with a bowl of granola. 

Here are some health benefits Almond Milk provides! 

If you want, you can even make your own almond milk! I haven’t ever made my own, but I think it’s a great idea! I’ll be using this recipe too! 

Once you’ve tried making the almond milk, you’ll have lots of Almond pulp left. Here is a great article about how you can reuse the pulp and create a variety of things from it. Don’t throw it away!!!! Uses for Almond Pulp

I add almond milk to my cereals, oatmeal,  baking batters, and smoothies! And much more. 

I LOVE almond milk. It is the perfect animal milk substitue.

When I’m having a cheat, I’ll dip plain graham crackers into the almond milk….delicious.

All About Almonds

Hey guys! Today I want to talk about one of my FAVORITE foods, almonds! Almonds are a staple in my diet. If I’m not eating them right out of the bag, I dress up my acai bowls, nicecream, tofu and baked goods with them! They are SO versatile. Let’s start with some health benefits:

• Almonds are awesome! Here is a cool list of things I found Almonds can do! Photo Source

So now that your an advocate for all the benefits of almonds, here are some yummy ways to incorporate them into your diet!

• Use sliced/crushed almonds to bread your ‘meats’ with! If you eat meat, you can bread your chicken with almonds and make a yummy almond crusted chicken like this recipe! Or if you’re a plant-based eater like me, this delicious Almond Crusted Tofu Nuggets! 
• Acai bowls!!! Here is a link to my recipe on Acai bowls! As you can see I put a helpful serving of sliced almonds on! 
• Nicecream! Basically the vegan icecream! This one I made (banana pineapple) was delicious!!! Here is the recipe. I added toppings, which is so extra but so good. 
• You can coat your baked goods with almonds as a topping like this banana nut loaf topped with sliced almonds….YUM!

I could keep going, literally, almonds are my jam. (They go with jam! Almond butter, yum!) if you want more recipes with almonds let me know. 

Almonds for days…
