Macadamia Nut Mylk with granola & bananas..

[andesuma]

The other day I had a lingering craving for CEREAL.

(haven't had any in years and years)

So, I decided to make some.

 

:

I went to my local CO-OP , and bought some raw, sprouted, grainless,

Ezekiel almond granola (located in the bulk section).

(You can also make this, or anything dehydrated, with your own oven at home!

How to make my Macadamia Nut Mylk:

 

1 cup(overflowing) raw macadamia nuts,

(I soaked them in water for about 20 min. , tho you don't have to.)

 

 

2-3 cups filtered water

 

3 & 1/2 Medjool dates (pitted, and soaked for 1 hour, also

one cup of the water I used in the recipe was date soaking water for

extra sweetness)

 

 

 

 

 

Blend in high speed blender/or Vita Mix until creamy/liquid consistency.

You can strain thru a nutmilk bag/strainer, or not. It's up to you.

(This makes over half a blender full of mylk!

Enough for 3-5 servings at least.)

 

 

 

Macadamias make the perfect nut mylk.

They blend perfectly.

It's pure white, and the sweetness was subtle, and perfect!

It lasts for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

 

 

Having this mylk, with the granola, and sliced bananas on top was

probably the most beautiful thing imaginable.

i have done this before, but i never thought to put dates in it... might attempt that, though it makes it sound sweet to me.

 

i always end up eating a bunch of soaked macadamias... they remind me of water chestnuts becuase they get this pleasent little crunch!

I went to my local CO-OP

 

Which one? Portland has 3 ya know!

 

And if ya still live in the same place, you dont have more than about 3 miles to go to any of them...
