The results as promised!

So, not to totally brag, but today I have made my own sorbet, smoothies for me and Liam, am in the process of making fruit roll up type things, and sweet potato chips. But, the most impressive thing I have made is the almond milk. It is SO good! And easy! Not cheap though, I honestly think buying the carton might be cheaper, but I have never bought it before and liked it, so I guess the extra 50 cents is worth it. I am pretty excited because I have been really hungry today, since all this crap takes like DAYS of preparation, so I know tomorrow I can actually eat meals all day and not just spend the day getting ready for the future! In fact, I have breakfasts and partial lunches ready for multiple days. BUT, back to the almond milk. First, the day before you think you might be thirsty/bakey/hungry, soak 2 cups of almonds in purified water for 8 hours. Next, drain and rinse them. After that, you mix the almonds with 4 1/2 cups of purified water in a blender for 30 seconds. Strain the pulp from the liquid, store the pulp to make things later, rinse the blender, and put the liquid back in. Then add agave or some other sweetener, 2 tablespoons or so, and a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla. Mix it all up, and wah la. Done and delicious! Good to have for 5 days in your fridge. Here are the photos!
This is all of it getting strained.
And all of it ready for the fridge! Yay!
