This drink was created as an alternative to an appealing looking strawberry soya drink Zenchai spotted in the health food store. I am not a huge fan of soya especially the sugared-down variety. So I looked at the ingredients on the box and knew I could go home and one-up the carton of genetically modified estrogen liquid.
This is a super creamy mylk that is so delicious and easy to make. Bottoms-up BABY!
“Pinkie Drinkie” a.k.a. Strawberry Almond Mylk
Ingredients:
¾ C almonds (soaked overnight is preferable)
3 ½ - 4 C water
2 -3 medjool dates
4-6 strawberries
1-2 capsules Vegan Ortho Bone Complex (optional)
Method:
Place almonds and water into blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the liquid through a nut mylk bag. Pour the almond mylk back into the blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until creamy. Add more strawberries or dates to desired taste.
Raw Yoga Teacher Tips:
- Instead of chucking your almond pulp dehydrate it to make almond flour to use in cakes, crackers or breads.
- This is a very adaptable recipe try any of the following: add a banana for more creaminess, substitute your choice of fruit, add 1-2 TBS cacao powder for a chocolate mylk, 1-2 TBS mesquite powder for a caramel mylk or 1 TBS vanilla for vanilla mylk
