FOREWORD by Dr. Ed Bauman FOR THE PAST FORTY YEARS, I HAVE BEEN A HOLISTIC NUTRITION EDUCATOR, CHEF, and integrative medicine professional. Three Food Facts of Life stand out for me: 1. we are what we eat; 2. the commercial food and farming system is de-natured and not health promoting; and 3. we take responsibility for our health by growing and eating as much S.O.U.L. (seasonal, organic, unprocessed, and local) as we can. I call this Eating for Health™. Like nearly everyone I have known, I was raised on milk. I wasn’t breastfed, for reasons unbeknownst to me. I was given formula, followed by pasteurized, homogenized milk from infancy until I left my home in Washington D.C. to go to college. In addition to milk by the glass and on cereal, I had several servings a day of milk products in the form of butter, cheese, cottage cheese, and ice cream. With the knowledge I have now, it is not surprising that I was allergic, congested, constipated, and had a craving, bordering on addiction, for dairy products. This was mightily reinforced by the plethora of commercials and product placements I was seeing on television—milk moustaches on my favorite sporting heroes, doctors saying milk makes us strong and powerful, with good bones, teeth, and nerves. By the early 1970s, macrobiotics—a traditional food system from Japan—was introduced to the West by Michio Kushi, as was a sprout-based, raw food diet by Ann Wigmore. I studied with both of these different, and rather opposite, nutrition mentors. What they shared in common was the disease prevention and possible curative benefit of eating seasonal, local, whole foods that are largely plant-based. They also eschewed eating conventionally grown meat, dairy, sugar, and refined processed food. It was at this time that I started making and enjoying fresh, homemade nut milk. I found it to be delicious, nutritious, fine in sauces, soups, smoothies, dressings, and even custards, ice cream, and naturally fermented beverages. Since those days, I have been blessed with good health, as well as a sense of practicality, purpose, and passion. I have been able to create many valuable and innovative health and community projects ranging from Community Food Buying Clubs, Home Comfort Restaurant, the Berkeley Holistic Health Center Vitality Fasting Retreats, Bauman College: Holistic Nutrition + Culinary Arts, and now Bauman Wellness: Consulting, Education, and Advocacy for creating a Food and Health Care System that is accessible and affordable for all.

A common theme in the Eating for Healthâ&#x201E;˘ model that I designed to be an alternative to the USDA models is that nuts, seeds, and healthy fats and oils are at the center of eating well to support healthy brain, nerve, endocrine, and cell membrane health. There has been a great deal of misinformation on the subject of food, healing, and nutrition. My goal is to provide non-dogmatic, evidence-based information from which people are empowered to make conscious choices. Plant-based milks are a valuable alternative to conventional dairy, which has become a common source of inflammation, allergy, and intolerance for many. Even for those who have no problems with dairy products, plant-based milks offer another excellent option to include in your diet. Nuts and seeds are the premier source of magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin E, healthy fats, fiber and protective phytonutrients, and plant sterols. They are very good choices for people with metabolic issues, such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Nuts and nut milk are heart healthy, strengthening to the vascular system, and wonderful foods to help the adrenal glands manage stress. Learning to make your own organic, plant-based milk is a powerful way to demonstrate that: 1. you are what you eat; 2. you do not have to depend on the commercial food and the farming system; and 3. you take responsibility for your health, by eating and drinking for health. The recipes in this book offer a health-changing array of delicious recipes, with health-promoting nuts, seeds, grains, herbs, and spices to blend and prepare on a daily basis. I salute your well-being. May you share the many recipes that this book offers with friends, family, and associates, near and far, for many years to come.

INTRODUCTION By Rita Rivera WHEN I FIRST BECAME INTERESTED IN PLANT MILKS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, THERE were almost no options in the marketplace—you either made your own milk at home or you could purchase a carton of rice milk at your local health food store. Fast forward to present day, things have changed dramatically over the years for people seeking access to convenient and healthy alternatives to dairy milks. The emergences of plantbased milks in our markets, both fresh and in shelf stable cartons, have skyrocketed. My passion for plant-based milks was fueled by the remarkable changes I experienced in my health and digestion after eliminating dairy from my diet. I saw an opening in the marketplace for fresh-pressed almond milks, and I began my company, MilksAlive, in northern California to produce and deliver freshly prepared almond milk blends to customers in the Bay Area. I’m thrilled to be working with the NutraMilk company and to be a part of their vision to make it easy and fun to prepare delicious and nutritious plant-based milks at home. The NutraMilk machine makes it simple for you and your family—with the press of a button—to always have fresh plant milks available! With 200+ recipes in our book, you will discover new combinations to explore and expand your culinary delights. Your intuition, creativity, and joy are your best assets to bring into the kitchen. Many of these recipes can be “tweaked” to satisfy your taste profile by adding a little more of this or a little less of that. Have fun! – Rita

THE BASICS

NOTES

THE BASICS HANDLING NUTS AND SEEDS Nuts and seeds can go rancid when exposed to long periods of improper storage. Make sure that your nuts and seeds are in well-sealed containers and stored in a cool, dry location without exposure to sunlight. Nuts and seeds that are high in fats should be refrigerated.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO SOAK YOUR NUTS AND SEEDS When making milk in your NutraMilk, you may use soaked nuts and seeds. However, when making butter in your NutraMilk, the nuts and seeds must be dry, without any moisture. If your nuts and seeds have been soaked, the Butter cycle will be shorter than recommended times listed.

MILK STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE Use your NutraMilk storage container or a mason jar. Refrigerate immediately and it should stay fresh for up to 6 days. Without an emulsifying agent, the milk will naturally separate, so give it a good shake. If you would like to use a healthy emulsifying agent, I recommend adding a non-GMO sunflower lecithin.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS You may or may not be familiar with some ingredients that I use in my recipes. You can find most of them at your local health food store, or there are many resources to find them online.

AGAVE Agave plants thrive in the volcanic soils of southern Mexico with over 100 species that come in many sizes and colors. The agave plant, most well known for producing tequila, also produces a sap that is processed and used as a sweetener.

CAROB The carob tree is characteristic of the Mediterranean region and is found all over the Middle East. The carob tree produces a pod that contains the carob bean, also known as the locust bean. The carob beans are dried and then made into a powder. Carob powder can be found raw or roasted and has a wonderful subtle flavor that resembles chocolate and is often used as a substitute for chocolate.

CACAO/CHOCOLATE POWDER The “chocolate tree” or cacao tree, indigenous to Central and South America is now grown in tropical climates worldwide. Our beloved chocolate is made from the cacao beans of the cacao tree. According to FDA guidelines, cocoa powder and cacao powder are simply different terms for the same powder and are nearly interchangeable. However, “cacao powder” specifically refers to low heat, unsweetened powder. Cocoa powder may be processed with high heat and or chemicals and may still contain a small amount of cocoa butter.

COCONUT PALM SUGAR Coconut palm sugar is made from a nutrient-rich sap that is tapped from the coconut blossoms of the coconut palm tree. This sap is low glycemic, containing amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, and B vitamins. It resembles brown sugar.

GOJI BERRY (OR WOLFBERRY) Goji berries are rich in antioxidants and have been used by herbalists for thousands of years in China, Tibet, and India. When dried, the goji berry looks like a red-orange raisin and can be found growing in temperate and subtropical regions of China, Mongolia, and Tibet.

LECITHIN Lecithin, composed of choline and inositol, is found in all living cells as a major component of cell membranes. Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, keeping the ingredients mixed together, preventing separation. I recommend the powdered form and always certified organic, non-GMO!

MACA Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable that resembles a turnip or a large radish and grows in extreme conditions at very high altitudes in Peru and Ecuador. Native cultures have used maca for thousands of years. It is known for its ability to increase energy and stamina and to stimulate and balance hormonal activity in both men and women. Maca has a very rich nutrient profile with numerous phytochemicals, amino acids, beneficial fatty acids, and vitamins.

MESQUITE POWDER The mesquite tree is found around the world and is native to deserts. This heat- and drought-tolerant tree produces a malty, subtle, caramel-flavor bean pod, which is ground into a meal.

Mesquite is a slow-acting carbohydrate and helps balance and control blood sugar absorption. Mesquite is mineral-rich, including trace minerals and approximately 15% protein.

SALT Pink Himalayan salt is one of my favorite salts to use, but you may substitute with any salt of your choosing.

STEVIA Stevia is part of the sunflower family, native to subtropical and tropical regions, and is widely grown for its sweet leaves. Try taking a bite from the leaf of a stevia plantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can taste the sweetness! Stevia extracts have up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar and have a low effect on blood glucose levels.

XYLITOL Xylitol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate found widely in fruits and vegetables and is used as a sweetener. For commercial purposes, xylitol is made from birch tree bark or from corn husks. Xylitol tastes and looks like sugar but it has 40% fewer calories and does not raise insulin or affect blood sugar levels. If you purchase xylitol produced from corn, purchase organic xylitol.

CAUTION Some people have allergies to certain nuts and seeds. Consult with your physician if you have any concerns. Plant-based milks may not be appropriate for infants.

USERS GUIDE

NOTES

USING YOUR NUTRAMILK GENERAL INFORMATION Please read through your NutraMilk manual to assist you in the care and handling of the appliance. Important to remember that the blade is sharp and both the blade and the butter can become hot when the machine has been running for several minutes or longer. All milk recipes, unless otherwise stated, call for nuts and seeds in their raw state— unsalted and unprocessed. When preparing most butters, you have a choice to make butter from raw or roasted nuts.

FOR MAKING MILK: Minimum/Maximum Amount of Nuts and Liquid to be Used in Your NutraMilk For Dry Ingredients g Minimum amount of dry ingredients: 1 cup (8 oz/227 g) g Maximum amount of dry ingredients: 3 cups - 5 cups (24 oz/681 g – 40 oz/1135 g) *

* For harder nuts like almonds, the maximum is 3 cups (24 oz/681 g) * For softer nuts like cashews, the maximum is 5 cups (40 oz/1135 g)

For Liquid Ingredients g Minimum amount of liquid ingredient: 3 cups (710 mL) g Maximum amount of liquid ingredient: 2 quarts (1.893 L)

FOR MAKING BUTTER: Minimum/Maximum Amount of Dry Ingredients in Your NutraMilk g g

Minimum amount of dry ingredients: 2 cups (16 oz/454 g) Maximum amount of dry ingredients: 3 cups - 5 cups (24 oz/681 g – 40 oz/1135 g) * * For harder nuts like almonds, the maximum is 3 cups (24 oz/681 g) * For softer nuts like cashews. the maximum is 5 cups (40 oz/1135 g)

MAKING NUT, SEED, GRAIN AND LEGUME MILKS General Instructions for making milk in your NutraMilk: g

You can use dry or soaked nuts and seeds in their raw state.

If you choose to soak your nuts or seeds for making milk, the Butter cycle will be shorter than recommended times listed.

All recipes call for dry measurements of nuts or seeds.

Minimum ratio of nuts or seeds for making milk is 1 cup (8 oz/227 g) to 1 quart (946 mL) of liquid.

Kept refrigerated in a container with a tight-fitting lid, the milk should stay fresh for up to 6 days.

Natural separation will occur, just give it a good shake before serving. You can also use non-GMO sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier—generally, 1 Tablespoon to a quart (946 mL) works well.

Most of the milk recipes call for a minimum of 1 cup (8 oz/227 g) of dry nuts or seeds and a minimum 3-4 cups (710 – 946 mL) of liquid. I suggest that you begin with our basic recipe. You will also find that the proportions can be forgiving as you adjust to your preferences.

Keep in mind that using less water will make a fuller bodied and flavored milk and using more water will make a less bodied and less flavorful milk. g

When using vanilla in a recipe, pure organic extract, ground, or fresh vanilla beans are all good choices and can be adjusted to taste. My general reccomendation when using vanilla extract is ½ to ¾ teaspoon per one quart (946 mL). For ground or fresh vanilla beans, use 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per one quart (946 mL).

When using bananas, make sure to consume the milk the same day you make it.

Many of these milk blends use dried fruit for sweetness and for flavor. When making the recipes that use dried fruit, there will be sediment in the base of your NutraMilk container with yummy bits of dried fruit that are left after the Dispense cycle.

Here are some options to incorporate the leftover goodness: g

Use a spatula to scoop out the material, add it to the milk, and mix well

Use it as a “layer” in parfaits with chia and or acai

Place it on top of your morning cereal or in your oatmeal

MAKING NUT AND SEED BUTTERS When making nut butters in your NutraMilk, it’s important that the nuts or seeds are dry. Any moisture content will impact the creaminess of the butter. A humid environment can also affect your Butter cycle time. Follow our guidelines (see page 16) and add more time, if necessary, to make creamier butters. Keep in mind that if you prefer to soak your nuts or seeds, make sure they are dry before making butter. You can lightly roast them, or dehydrate them, to remove moisture content. We do not recommend placing wet fruits or moist dried fruits in with nuts or seeds for making butter. Extra moisture will require a much longer Butter cycle time. Note of Caution: Be aware that running the NutraMilk for several minutes can make both the blade and the butter hot. Be careful!

MAKING DIPS AND SPREADS When making dips and spreads, the Butter cycle is short. You should set the NutraMilk Butter cycle for 1 minute and run in short bursts counting the seconds. When adding small amounts of liquid into the NutraMilk container, add the liquid by pouring away from the mesh filters and towards the center of the blades. If any of the liquid has come through the mesh filters, after removing your mixture, tip the NutraMilk container (remove the spigot) and let the liquid run through and add that directly to your spread.

MAKING SMOOTHIES When using frozen fruit in your NutraMilk, make sure they are cut into small chunks before freezing. Place any frozen fruit evenly around the blade. When dispensing the smoothie, remove the spigot to allow for better flow of the drink, which has a thicker consistency than the milks. After the drink has come through the dispenser, there may be some smoothie left in the NutraMilk container—if so: g

Carefully remove the blade and the container from the stand

Pour out remaining smoothie

While pouring, stabilize the inner container with your hand so it doesn’t fall

Some recipes call for “frozen coconut milk cubes.” Use whole fat coconut milk and pour the milk into ice cube trays and freeze. After the Dispense cycle, depending on the recipe, there may be delicious bits of fruit left in the NutraMilk container that did not go through the screen. To use the leftovers in the container: g g

Scoop the yummy bits into your smoothie Scoop the yummy bits and add them to a smoothie bowl along with chia seeds, acai, or on top of your oatmeal or granola

YOUNG THAI COCONUT MILK The recipes in this chapter all use young Thai coconuts. The flesh of the young Thai coconut is easy to work with, and it makes a great milk. Making fresh coconut milk does take extra time, but it is well worth the effort. I recommend that you buy several coconuts and make enough milk to store some frozen to have on hand. Fresh coconut milk freezes very well, unlike canned coconut milk. It should keep for several weeks in the freezer, but chances are it will never last that long! Here are my tips to make the most of the process:

STEP ONE OPEN THE COCONUT You always want to inspect the coconut once it is opened. The coconut meat should be white without any discoloration, and the water should have a clear to opalescent look. When opening young Thai coconuts, it is best to use a strong, forged meat cleaver. With an intentional motion, swing the cleaver down on the top of the coconut. Do this several times to create a circle or a square—each swing of the cleaver should penetrate the shell of the coconut. Then use the tip of the cleaver to carefully pry the top off.

STEP TWO DRAIN AND STRAIN THE COCONUT WATER Drain the water into a bowl. Once you’ve opened the coconuts that you’re using, it will be necessary to strain the water through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag to remove any coconut shards. Refrigerate your water while you are scooping out the flesh of the coconut.

132

STEP THREE SCOOP OUT THE COCONUT FLESH Lay the coconut on its side and with a strong swing of the cleaver, halve the coconut. This makes scooping out the flesh very easy—especially if the opening that you’ve created at the top is small. Use a strong spoon to remove the inner white flesh. The flesh of the coconut will vary in both texture and feel, from translucent and soft to compact and dense. If possible, it’s best to scoop out large sections as opposed to small pieces since larger pieces are easier to clean. Place the flesh in a colander. With a paring knife, clean by removing any leftover shards.

STEP FOUR PLACE THE COCONUT WATER AND FLESH IN YOUR NUTRAMILK Once all the meat is cleaned—you are ready to make the fresh coconut milk.

You can make both coconut butter and coconut milk in your NutraMilk. Coconut milk, coconut oil, and coconut butter are different products. Coconut oil is the extracted fat from the coconut meat, while the butter, also made from the flesh of the coconut, is ground into a paste. Coconut milk is made from the water and meat of the coconut. Think of a peanut—you can derive oil from the peanut; make a spreadable butter; and make a milk from whole peanuts.

SESAME MILKS Sesame seeds are used in cuisines around the world and have a rich nutty flavor. Although white sesame seeds are very common, you can also find black sesame seeds on the market.

The flavor differences are subtle, with the black variety having a bit more of a nutty flavor. You can use either seed in the recipes below! Or a combination. If sesame is a favorite seed flavor for you, try the following proportion for milk. You can use raw or pan-toasted, unsalted sesame seeds.

NUT & SEED BUTTERS

When making nut butters in the NutraMilk, it’s important that the nuts or seeds are dry. Any moisture content will impact the creaminess of your butters. So, if you prefer to soak your nuts or seeds, make sure they are dry when making butter. You can lightly roast them or dehydrate them to remove moisture content.

Roasting will quicken the butter process and enhance the flavor of nuts and seeds. I prefer a light roast. General roasting guidelines, unless mentioned otherwise: 265° F (130° C) for 22-25 minutes My favorite salt to use is Pink Himalayan salt. You can explore using different salts to bring out the flavors of the nuts and seeds. Salt is optional in all recipes. We do not recommend placing wet fruits or moist dried fruits in with nuts or seeds for making butter. Extra moisture will require a much longer buttering time and can impact the texture of the butter. Nuts with high oil content, when roasted, will make a thinner butter. You can try mixing half raw and half roasted if you desire the flavor of roasted nuts, but want butter with a thicker consistency. g g

2 cup minimum (See chart on page 16 for individual gram measurements) 3 cup maximum for harder nuts - 5 cup maximum for softer nuts (See chart on page 16 for individual gram measurements)

Refrigerate your butters

All butter recipes call for the minimum of 2 cups (454 G), which will yield approximately 1 and ¼ cups (284 g) of butter.

Some of our favorite ingredients in the NutraMilk kitchen for layering in taste and nutrition – into a bowl or parfait – are fresh nut and seed milks, chia seeds, and acai berries.

CHIA Chia, related to the mint family, is a flowering plant native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala. Chia is a powerhouse of nutrients and, along with flax and hemp, one of the richest plant sources of Omega 3. These tiny, precious seeds are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Chia, like flax, is a mucilaginous seed, characterized by stickiness. Because of this, we don’t make milk from chia in the traditional way of making nut and seed milks.

PREPARE CHIA SEEDS FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE BOWL This is the base of your smoothie bowl, or you can create a parfait using chia as one of the layers. Yields a Single Serving

The basic ratio is ¼ cup chia seeds (47 g) to ¾ cup milk (177 mL). Prepare nut or seed milk of choice. Pour into a bowl. Add chia seeds. Stir well. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

ACAI The acai berry, grown in South America, resembles a blueberry and is prized for its high antioxidant content along with being high in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals. Fresh acai berries spoil quickly, so you will find them as a frozen concentrate in most health food stores.

PREPARE ACAI BERRY FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE BOWL There are two ways to prepare the acai berry in your NutraMilk for smoothie bowls, acai and milk or acai and butter. The acai can be the base of your bowl, or you can create a parfait using the acai butter base as a layer.

ACAI & COCONUT MILK Use a rolling pin to break up the contents of the frozen package, or let it thaw slightly before placing acai in the NutraMilk container. Yields a Single Serving

1 3.5 oz. package of frozen acai (100 g)

2/3 cup banana (152 g) (fresh or frozen) 1/3 cup Coconut Milk (79 mL) Place acai and banana in the NutraMilk container. Press Butter cycle, set for 2 minutes Press Start. Open the container lid, add coconut milk. Replace lid. Press Butter cycle, set for 1 minute. Open the NutraMilk container and scoop the contents into your bowl.

263

ACAI & ALMOND BUTTER Use a rolling pin to break up the contents of the frozen package, or let it thaw slightly before placing acai in the NutraMilk container. Yields a Single Serving

1 3.5 oz. package of frozen acai (100 g)

SAVORY DIPS AND SPREADS I often use the description of butters and spreads interchangeably, as butters and spreads tend to be thicker than dips. If you can use a knife to spread it on a cracker, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spread. Dips tend to have a bit more liquid, producing a result with a different texture than a butter or spread.

Tips to remember when making dips and spreads in your NutraMilk: g

The cycle is short. You should set the NutraMilk Butter cycle at 1 minute and run in short bursts counting the seconds.

When adding small amounts of liquid into the NutraMilk container, add the liquid by pouring away from the mesh filters and towards the center of the blades.

If any of the liquid comes through the mesh filters, use a spatula to get all of the flavorful liquid and add that into your spread.

268

PECAN & WALNUT SPREAD You can enjoy this recipe using either raw or roasted nuts. Adjust the proportion of pecans to walnuts to suit your taste. Yields approximately 1¾ cup (240 g)

Press Butter cycle, set for 1 minute, and run for 10-15 seconds. Open the container lid and scrape down the sides. Replace lid. Press Butter cycle, set for 1 minute, and run for 10-15 seconds. Add the mixture to your serving bowl along with the remaining parsley, scallions, Bragg or tamari, lemon juice, and the finely chopped red pepper. Mix with a fork.

This is delicious spread on crackers, crusty whole grain bread, or celery stalks.

269

Press the Butter cycle, set for one minute, and run for 10- 15 seconds. If there is any liquid in the base of the NutraMilk container, remove spigot and pour the juice into the mixture. This is great on crackers, in an avocado boat, spread on bread with fresh tomato, or as a topping on your pasta! Garnish with olive oil and chopped black olives.

NUT MILKS FOR COFFEE & TEA Things to keep in mind g

The NutraMilk ratio of 1:1 works well—1 cup nuts (227 g) to 1 quart water (946 mL).

If your coffee is very hot, nut milk may curdle.

FROTHING NUT MILK FOR COFFEE OR TEA If you are a coffee afficinado and have a home espresso machine, chances are you will have the ability to froth. If not, there are many different frothers on the market, and it’s best to get one of good quality. I have found the less expensive frotheres do not build a denser foam. Keep in mind: g

It is best to foam plain, unsweetened milks

The density of the foam will vary quite a bit from nut to nut

COFFEE & NUT MILK Coffee has become an art form. It’s a beverage that’s consumed around the world with artisanal coffee shops that cater to your specific preferences. Plant milks with coffee and tea may be a relatively new pairing, and its time to discover the wonderful combinations of nut milk that go well with coffee, coffee substitutes, and tea. To bring out the fullest flavor when using nut milks for coffee, I prefer to roast them. However, raw or roasted, many nuts are a satisfying and delicious complement to coffee. I recommend roasting at 250° F (122° C) for about 25 minutes. The strength of coffee is a personal taste. I love the flavor of coffee, and my preference is at least half coffee and half nut milk. Experiment to find your favorite balance.

SODA FOUNTAIN CREAMS Growing up on the East Coast, Saturday’s ritual was going to our local soda shop and ordering an “egg cream,” a soda fountain beverage that contained neither eggs nor cream. Egg creams are a wonderful childhood memory, and although soda fountain shops are mostly a thing of the past, this simple beverage made with milk, chocolate, and carbonated water is a great treat for kids and adults! Prepare a quart of Simple Almond Milk (946 mL) (see page 20 for recipe) It’s best if all ingredients are cold.

CHOCOLATE SODA FOUNTAIN EGG CREAM ¾ cup Almond Milk (177 mL) ½ cup unflavored carbonated water (118 mL) 1 Tablespoon chocolate syrup (or to taste) Whisk almond milk and chocolate syrup in a glass. Add carbonated water, and stir.

NUT MILK ICE CREAM SHAKES Tasty treats… and so easy to prepare! The non-dairy ice cream market has been rapidly growing, and I love all the delectable flavors available in our local stores. Companies are producing ice creams from coconut milk, rice milk, almond milk, and even cashew milk.

SUGGESTION When using a simple ice cream flavor like vanilla, you can add flavored syrups and concentrates of your choice, such as strawberry, chocolate, amaretto, and butter pecan, to name a few. Best if your nut milk is cold. For a thicker shake, use more ice cream.

BASIC MILKSHAKE A traditional milkshake consists of milk, ice cream, and an optional flavoring.

¾ cup cold plant milk of your choice (177 mL) 1½ cup of your favorite non-dairy ice cream (340 g)

305

BRAZIL PRALINE MILKSHAKE ¾ cup Simple Brazil Nut Milk (177 mL) (see page 64 for recipe) 1½ cup Almond Dream® Praline Crunch Ice Cream* (285 g) 1 cup banana (200 g) (fresh or frozen) * If you cannot find this non-dairy ice cream at your local health food store, you can substitute another flavor of your choice.

Place the ice cream, banana, and ¼ cup of milk (59 mL) into the NutraMilk container. Press Butter cycle, set for 1 minute. Press start. Open the container lid, add another ¼ cup of milk (59 mL). Replace lid. Press Butter cycle, set for 1 minute. Repeat this step one more time, adding the last ¼ cup of milk (59 mL). Replace lid. Press Mix (do not change this default time). Press Start. Press Dispense. Press Start and remove spigot to fill your glass. Because of the viscosity of the milkshake, only a small portion of the milkshake will come through during the Dispense cycle. After the mixture has come through the dispenser: g

Carefully remove the container from the stand, and tilt the container to allow as much of the mixture to come out through the dispenser as possible

Remove the blade

Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the inner container

Scoop all of the delicious treat into your glass
