Update on my homemade almond / flax/ chia milk

[Guest guest]

Shalom Y'all, I tweaked my recipe (in the docs) for this great-tasting, thick almond milk by omitting the flax. The flax was just too gritty and in reading more about it, I realized that it could adversely affect my thyroid function as I am hypothyroid. I also am using less almonds and it's still rich and creamy!

So, I now use:soaked raw almondsorganic chia jelsteviavanillaa dash of cinnamonWhat I do:I use 1/3 cup soaked whole almonds with skin. Drain off water, place in VM with 4 cups water.  I walk it up to HIGH and blend for about a minute or until completely smooth.

Add 1 cup organic chia gel (made 5TB - 2 cups water), stevia and vanilla (a dash of cinnamon if desired). Add water to almost the top (It will expand while blending) I walk it up to HIGH again and blend for about 30 seconds or until smooth. I whiz it each time I

use it as it makes a whole 64 oz container and the chia can settle.Much smoother and simply DEE-LISH!  So, if you tried my other version and didn't like it, try this one with no flax! The recipe is in the docs. (I guess I need to edit the doc?)

Hi Vickie, No, with my method and recipe that I posted, I don't strain at all and there is no grit that I can detect (esp since I omitted the flax).-- ~~In Messiah Yeshua,Vickilynn HaycraftMicah 6:8
