Fun Facts
– When you soak the almonds, the protein inhibitor is released and it becomes much easier for us to digest and absorb their nutrients.
– Many other kinds of nuts and seeds can be used instead of or in combination with almonds.
– I like making hemp milk because you don’t have to soak the seeds. So it’s good to make when you need some milk right away.
– I keep a jar in my freezer that I keep adding the pulp to so I can use in pancakes, cakes, smoothies etc.
