Well I made my first lot of almond milk today and can I say Thanks Jen for the recipe and thanks Garfield for you recipe in my journal oh yum yum yum

My question is What do i do with the pulp can I put it in something else so i dont waste it?

Does Almond milk have the same amount of fat that almonds do? And if so I supose I shouldnt drink it every day right?

I know there was another question but i have forgotten it.

Anyway any info you can give me would be great

Love to all Angie

I have no idea to the answer, but do you see you are on 1000 posts Angie? Pretty cool huh!

 :yahh:

Hi Pinky,

Well, when I make almond milk, I use the almond pulp for a body scrub in the shower.  I rub it all over and then wash it off.  I do find that pulp does stick to your body, so I use a cloth to help take it off while in the shower.  It's also a nice face scrub.

You can also use it in crackers (if you have a dehydrator), or mix it with honey, dates, carob/cocoa powder, coconut....whatever you like.......and mix it into a ball to make 'fudge' balls.  You can also put some pulp in a smoothie.....banana, chocolate....whatever smoothie you want.....for more fibre.

I'm sure there's LOADS more ideas, but they're the ones I have.

As for the fat content of almond mylk, I'm not definite about this, but I have heard it is less than actually having the almonds whole.  But can't be certain on that.  But as for having it everyday, if the dairy industry advocates ppl having cows' milk daily, then I don't see having almond mylk is really going to be that bad....:laugh:

Take care

Luv

Rita :heart:

Oh my Stargirl thanks for pointing that out I had no idea how many I had hehehehehe

Rita thanks so much for the info I need a face scrub at the moment so i will just use that and make some fudge balls yummy I really apprecaite the info

Love to all
Angie

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for the almond milk Pinky. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I put the pulp flat on a teflex sheet, cover it with a mesh sheet and dehydrate it for future use as well.

xoxoxo

I agree the fat content is probably on the high side.

When I had some leftover almond pulp, I made the Biscotti described in Gabriel Cousen's new Rainbow cuisine book.  I remember it had almond pulp, raisin, cinnamon, and a few other things.  It tasted really good -- so good I took a picture:

Jen sorry what do you mean bit confused maybe cause I just woke up but can you elaberate. you dried it then what put it in a container for later on if that is right can you put it in the fridge for a little while?

With a little boy still sick I need sleep can you tell :P

That's right Pinky. But I didn't refrigerate it. I just put it in an airtight container. I wouldn't keep it too long though. Just a week or so.

Rosal, they look divine! Wummmm.

xoxoxox

Oh okay I just thought about putting it in the fridge till I was dehydrating something. so it wouldnt last too long in the air tight container or in the fridge? Question question questions that all I am about today hay.

Yes Rosal they look good i should seach for a recipe Pete loves Biscotti yum yum yum

It's a pleasure, Pinky(cute nickname:)!

All excellent ideals here, I love Rita's natural scrub recipe; you can always add a nourishing cold-pressed oil for skin-friendly benefits(pulp and oil:)

Try to fret about  FAT as it's raw almonds (and not saturated congealed animal saturated yucky fats) this fat is actually quite beneficial for maintaining youth and great skin!

Hope this helps!
