Cooks Note: Chewing our food well is essential for good digestion. Chew your smoothie before swallowing. ( I know, it sounds weird, but your body will be happy)

Homemade nut milk : 1 lb of raw nuts such as almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, soaked over night in filtered water. Drain , then add soaked nuts to high power blender with four cups fresh water. Blend well. Keep refrigerated for 5 days.

For Almond milk, you might want to pour it through a cheese cloth or sieve, for creamy milk. Press down with wooden spoon. Discard remaining pulp.
