Hello and Happy Wednesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love almond milk. I drink it with coffee but mostly when I make a Turmeric\/Kurkuma Latte<\/a><\/span><\/strong> or in the morning for a Chia Pudding<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. It is just so good and the almond flavor is really delicious. Also, have you ever paid attention to all the garbage we are wasting every single day? Since I am cooking\u00a0a lot recently, I am actually shocked about the amounts of plastic I throw away. Why is almost everything wrapped in plastic? Anyway, this is food for thought for a different article. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I used to buy almond milk cartons at either Whole Foods<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in the US or at Denn’s<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>in Germany. Both stores have some decent brands that taste okay. However, I want to know exactly what is in my almond milk, so I started making my own<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Two ingredients: almonds and water. Simple as that. Try it, it is very easy. [You can keep the homemade almond milk for 5 days in the fridge! No preservatives added obviously!]\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So now you have your homemade almond milk but what do you do with the leftover pulp? I have a friend who is following a Paleo diet<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and lives mostly gluten-free. She uses the expensive almond meal that she buys mostly for baking. Well, she will save some money now, I guess. When you make your own almond milk you have no waste! \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I would like to share a recipe that is very delicious, raw and easy to make. You remember: sometimes raw is awesome! \ud83d\ude09 This almond pulp is just leftover from one batch of almond milk that I made that day. If you have significantly more pulp you can dehydrate it too. I have<\/span> an Excalibur Food Dehydrator <\/a><\/span><\/strong>at home in the US but a normal oven and baking sheet does the trick as well – it just takes more time. You can store the dried pulp in a container in the fridge and use as granola with some fruit for breakfast. Awesomeness!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I made Raw Chocolate Pralines with Hemp Seeds. Yay, Hemp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
