DIY Nut Milk!

How do you milk a nut?

It's easier than you might think! 

If you've ever looked at your carton of almond milk, you might have noticed a lot of ingredients there. Some can even cause people stomach upset or digestive issues. Whether that is the case or not, homemade nut milk is so easy and you can customize it to your preferences! So why waste your money on those store brands?

I first tried my Ellie's Best nut milk bag with cashews but you can use any nut you like! 

Method:

  1. Soak your nuts overnight. 
  2. Drain the nuts. 
  3. In a blender, blend soaked nuts, vanilla if desired, sweetener if desired and salt if desired. Whatever you want!
  4. I then added about 3-4 cups water and blended more until it appeared uniform in consistency. 
  5. Put the nut milk bag over a large bowl and pour the blender contents into the bag. 
  6. Squeeze out the liquid, using a kneading method is very effective. 
  7. Pour the contents of the bowl into airtight containers and store in the fridge. Voila! 
This homemade nut milk was so rich and creamy! Store bought milk doesn't even compare! 

Ellie's Best nut milk bag is easy to use and clean, and it can also be used for making juice, homemade cream cheese, cold brew coffee and more! The discount code: happy , will save you on your Ellie's best bag. They are bigger than ordinary nut milk bags so they are easy to use! They also have kits with multiple bags, pitchers, etc. Find it all here: https://elliesbest.com/

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
