Brazil nut milk

I made brazil nut milk last night because I didn’t have any raw almonds, which are hard to find unless you order them online. I bought some raw brazil nuts from the bulk section of whole foods. This milk was so rich and creamy, it’s amazing! I use it on my cereal and in my coffee. I was drawn to the brazil nuts, weird, it was a very strong craving. I notice that about myself, when I’m  feeling connected and relaxed I am drawn to certain foods. My body communicates with me if I will only listen. Turns out brazil nuts are high in Vitamin E.

Colleen’s Orange Julius

My sister Colleen was here visiting for Labor Day weekend and made me an Orange Julius
for dessert that was so delicious. It reminded me of the real orange julius we used to get from the mall that originally was loaded with fat, dairy and calories. It also tastes like a creamsicle. Here’s the recipe…

Servings: 1 person

• One orange or tangelo
• One cup unsweetened vanilla coconut milk (this works best but you can use unsweetened vanilla Almond milk or any other nut milk)
• One teaspoon of vanilla
• Half a packet of Stevia
• Two ice cubes

Blend and enjoy your own Orange Julius.
