Nutrient Density

As for me, I sometimes have a problem with nuts,

Have you tried soaking them? Unsoaked nuts can be difficult to digest, even constipating. But soaking them removes the enzyme inhibitors (correct me if I'm wrong on that part, Tenet) which are what keep the nuts from sprouting. Soaking them basically starts the sprouting process.

Here is my nut milk recipe. I make this regularly.

1/2 cup almonds - soak in KW 8 hours or overnight
1/4 cup flax seeds - soak in KW 6-8 hours or overnight
1/4 cup chia seeds - add these to the flax seeds for the last hour or so
1/4 tsp Celtic salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 TBLSP organic honey

The honey is optional. You could instead use 1-2 pitted dates, or raw agave, or stevia if you like, but I usually use raw local honey. (Only use RAW honey! Grade A honey isn't really honey - it's cut with GMO corn sugar and very bad...not to mention, bad for the bees!)

Drain almonds (to remove the tannins that come out into the water)
Flax and chia will absorb all the water.

Dump the drained almonds, flax, chia and salt into the VitaMix.

Fill almost to the top with KW.

Add a few KW ice cubes (to prevent it from getting warm).

Blend on high speed until liquified.

Then add the vanilla and honey, and blend a few more seconds. It will be all frothy. Immediately pour into mason jars or a large pitcher, before it separates. You'll need to shake or stir before each use.

VARIATION: Use raw walnuts instead of almonds. I do both. I alternate. Both walnuts and almonds are exquisitely healthy for you, if raw and soaked. Walnuts have more Omega-3's. But, they are oilier so I don't rinse them, after noticing that much of the valuable oils come out into the water. So: Do NOT drain walnuts! I just rinse them once before soaking to remove any dust, then soak, and do NOT drain after that.

My family uses this as a base for smoothies. We each have a raw vegan protein smoothie for breakfast every morning. We use about 1 pint of the milk, 1 scoop of the the very best raw vegan protein (SunWarrior Blend), a banana, 1 tsp Maca, and a handful of frozen blueberries and/or strawberries. YUM! Perfect protein, Omega 3's, and fruit. Assuming you can do fruit, it's a great breakfast!

Alternatively, sometimes I do a green smoothie (greens and fruit). Or sometimes I do a green smoothie later.
