About a week ago I got a brand new Vita-Mix! Sooooo excited! We have been so busy around the house though lately that I haven't gotten the chance to use it a whole lot. However, I did get to make some Chocolate Almond Mylk. I got the recipe from Ani Phyo's Ani's Raw Food Kitchen "cookbook". Here's the recipe:
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup pitted dates
3 tablespoons cocoa powder or cacao nibs
Pinch of sea salt
5 cups water
Put the almonds, dates, cocoa powder, salt, and water in the blender and blend until smooth. Will keep for four days in the fridge (Phyo, 2007).
So that's what I did except I didn't use salt. I don't have any and care to not use it.
I tasted it right when it was done and it was delicious! Aside from the warm part because it was just made. So in the fridge it sits so I can have cold chocolate mylk! And although this one was good, I want to find other options on making mylk. Of course there are a good few different types to make like vanilla, or just plain almond mylk.
I would also like to make a quick mention that I went to my very first Raw Health Expo over the weekend. I'm not going to post anything now, but I will in a different post. It was fun and I learned a lot!
