ALMOND MILK via VITAMIX (a 1 banana difficulty level)

I've been away a bit too long. A new job (well technically a newer job as it has been just over 1 year) will do that to you. Growing up the son of 2 teachers I thought I appreciated how hard teachers work. Now I REALLY know & appreciate how hard teachers work!

It's been 8 months since 'this monkey' has posted here. I might as well post something that is truly simple to make...Almond Milk!

Don't worry, I'm not planning on giving up dairy anytime soon. Blue Bell & Ben & Jerry's are just too good! Don't expect a cold glass of almond milk to replace a cold glass of real milk, but Almond milk goes quite well on a bowl of cereal or in a smoothie.

If you'd like to compare between cow's milk and almond's milk:

This is very simple so let's get started!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 c Raw Almonds
3 c Filtered Water

WHAT YOU DO:
1. Place the Water & Almonds in your VitaMix
2. Turn on the VitaMix at level 1 & quickly turn to level 10
3. Turn VitaMix to high
4. Blend for 2 minutes

Now at this point you can use a filter & strainer to filter out the sediment, but that causes you to lose fiber & protein.

Yeah, I told you it was simple, but it's been 8 months & I needed to start with something easy!

Until next time...your favorite Neighbor-web Monkey!
