Ok, as I'm trying to prepare my self for my first detox or cleanse ever - I'm experimenting doing all these different kind of food and drinks. So today's big project was making almond milk. Sounded pretty easy almonds, water, Marple syrup and cinnamon. As what often happens when I don't double check I remembered 240g of almond for 1 portion. So yesterday I got 3 bags of bio almonds with 200g in each and soaked them all over night. This morning I need peeled them! Only to find out that it was 240ml of almonds!!!! for 1 l of water --- quite a difference. I hope I can dry up the rest of the soaked ones for next time.
As for taste I have to say it was a pleasant surprise - it taste really well and it does become white like milk. Next project of the morning was trying to make a banana shake using the newly made almond milk. So 1 1/2 banana got into the blender, a squeeze of almond milk, some Cinnamon, maple syrup and spurilina. Ha, I guess I didn't take into consideration that the spurilina would make the drink dark green like Pesto... So testing it was a bit hard. I am quite sensitive when it comes to drink and food and I knew if I was not thinking right I world puke... But again a surprise - it tasted really nice. Not the last time I will try that.
My next big challenge is to sit down and plan my food for the week. I hate planning when it comes to food. I am such a mode eater. Today I want this and then I won't eat it again for a long time. Bit of a problem when in Europe the supermarket are stilled focused on Family packs. I will try to look in some of my cook books which I have tons of but never use. I think I will go for easy, green and good!
