More and more people go to vegetable milk; whether for food intolerance, whether by an ethical choice or because of health issues, vegetable milk is having incredible success. There are all kinds of vegetable milk, coconut, oats, quinoa, almonds, rice, etc., and they can be found everywhere, even in supermarkets.

Despite being a healthy choice, it’s essential to pay attention to labels: many vegetable milk brands add sugars, artificial aromas, and thickeners to their products. For this reason, I share this super easy recipe to make almond milk at home. I hope you like it 😉

Almond milk

Almond milk Print This
Phase 3 Serves: 2 - 3 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 2 cup - 224 gr raw almonds
  • 7 cup of water - 1680 ml (you can use more water if you want lighter milk)

Instructions

  1. Put the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours; I usually leave them overnight.
  2. The next day, rinse the almonds well and peel them. You will see that once soaked, the skin will be effortless to remove: it is enough to apply a little pressure with your fingers, and the almond comes out on its own. (You can also use already peeled almonds and skip this step).
  3. When your almonds are peeled, put them in the blender with the water. You can use more water if you want lighter milk. You can divide this process into several batches if not all the ingredients fit into your blender.
  4. Add the water and process everything very well until the almonds have entirely powdered.
  5. Strain the liquid through a cloth or vegetable milk bag to separate the milk from the almond pulp. It is important to squeeze as much as possible to remove all the milk.
  6. Note: do not throw away the pulp as you can use it for other recipes.
  7. Your almond milk is ready to be used. Keep it in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

This recipe is suitable for the Fast Metabolism Diet, FMD Phase 3. 1 cup of almond milk is 1 serving of healthy fat for <20 pounds; 1 1/2 cup of almond milk is 1 serving of healthy fat for >20 pounds.

For this recipe, you may need:

  

Notes

* The remaining okara can be added to different types of preparation.

If you feel like enjoying a pumpkin pie but don’t feel like getting involved in making one, I recommend you try these “pumpkin pie” style balls. They are delicious, healthy, and straightforward to make. Also, the best part is that you can prepare them beforehand and keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days or even freeze them and take them out when you need them.

For this recipe, you only need 5 minutes and a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. In addition, you can make yourself pumpkin puree and almond butter.

  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon star anise powder
  • Stevia to taste

Instructions

  2. Now, add the rest of the ingredients and process for a few more minutes until it forms a uniform dough and can be worked with your hands.
  3. Shape your balls with your hands and form about 16 balls.

Also this month, I continue with my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month. This promise I made was one of my New Year’s resolutions, and the truth is that I am thrilled, since, until now, I have been able to fulfill it. This idea came to me because in September I will travel to Japan for the first time and I am very excited.

The recipe that I propose today is straightforward to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. It is a very light and fresh cucumber salad called sunomono. It is an ideal recipe for summer since it does not require cooking and it is eaten cold. It is a very comfortable and versatile dish and can be used as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to a more consistent dish such as a roast, for example. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do 🙂

  • 1 teaspoon of pink or marine salt
  • 1 teaspoon mix of dried seaweed in F3 (optional)
  • 1 pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumbers, leaving some strip of skin on each cucumber so that they are scratched.
  2. Cut the cucumbers into thin slices; It is ideal to make them with the mandolin, although a sharp knife also works.
  3. Put the cucumber slices, add the salt and mix well. Let stand about 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the birch xylitol or the stevia, the grated or powdered ginger, the tamari sauce and the vinegar. If you use the xylitol, you have to beat until it is completely dissolved, if it is necessary, the vinegar can be heated slightly to make it easier.
  5. With your hands, squeeze the slices of cucumber a little so that they release part of their water.
  6. Mix the cucumber with the sauce, and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle each portion with one piece of black pepper.
  8. [OPTIONAL] In F3, you can sprinkle with the seaweed that you prefer.
