DRINKS
Tomato, Cucumber, Celery Juice
From Recipes for Life from God's Garden by Rhonda J. Malkmus
Wash 1 vine-ripened tomato, cut in small pieces, prepare 1 small cucumber, and cut 1 or 2
stalks of celery into 1-inch pieces. Process in juicer. A small piece of lime may be added if desired. Process all in juicer and enjoy.
Note: Although tomatoes are fruit, most people think of them as a vegetable. Fresh raw tomato
juice will taste and look quite different from those found in bottles and cans. Never use hot house tomatoes since they are picked green and gassed to make them turn colour.
Sweet Almond Milk
By Karen Knowler, http://www.therawfoodcoach.com
This is a simple but delicious raw "classic" that can be modified in endless ways. This is the
most basic simple recipe and will keep refrigerated for about 24 hours although is best drunk right away.
1 cup almonds OR 1 Tbsp almond butter 3 measuring cups pure water 12 Medjool dates OR 1 Tbsp agave nectar (to taste)
Place the almonds and the water in a blender and blend until smooth. If you used whole almonds (and not almond butter), you will need to strain the almond milk. Use
a nut milk bag or very fine sieve to strain the mixture so that you separate the almond skin
from the milk. Discard the pulp (what's left in the strainer) - see later for ideas. Clean blender jug with a quick rinse of water, then pour the clean almond milk back into it. Add the dates or agave nectar (if you have a sweet tooth, try the milk first-you might prefer it
plain or you might want to add 1 date rather than 2) and blend. Taste-test and add more sweetener if you'd like, or drink as is. Sip, savour and enjoy!
Raw Coach's Top Tips:
« Once you have perfected this, you can use it as a base for smoothies or other drinks-simply
add in the flavourings of your choice.
« Make use of the pulp by composting or dehydrating to make "almond flour" for use in a cookie,
pie, or burger recipe.
