Always and everything

I truly believe this. I have definitely had a somewhat easy life, but I do think when you're mind is open and your heart is driven, life provides you what you need. You just have to recognize it's there.

Really need to try this!

I made almond milk this morning! It is so good and super easy to make! Raw, vegan, yummy and only had 2 ingredients. Who could ask for more? :)

1. Soak 1/2 cup of almonds in 1 1/2 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

2. In the morning strain and rinse the almonds and put them in a blender.

3. Add 2 cups of water to the almonds and blend until you can only see little flecks of almonds. This should take about 2 minutes of blending on high.

4. Strain the liquid through a sieve or a nut milk bag and keep pushing the almond mush into the sieve to get as much liquid out as possible until it resembles a powder.

5. Put the almond powder in a box and use it for either baking or in place of something like flaxseed.

6. Put the almond milk in a bottle or a jar and enjoy!!

This will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days. The quantities I used made about 1/2 a litre or 1.25 pints.

Have a great day guys!

This recipe is inspired by the amazing CE Recipes app, however I did change ingredients slightly! (Although I changed the ingredients, I thought it would be safe to share a link to the statement of the definition of Fair Use - "The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes". As this tumblr blog is an assignment for my Networked Media Production class, the content I post are for educational purposes only. Please let me know if any problems. Thank you.
