Egg Nog

This yummy version is not only dairy-free but also soy-free!

1-1/2 cups of extra creamy almond milk
1/2 cup cashews
1 banana, frozen
1 ounce mango, frozen
1 ounce agave syrup or to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt

Place all ingredients in the wet container. Turn on variable speed 1, increase to 10, then high. Blend 30 - 60 seconds to reach desired smoothness.

Extra Creamy Almond Milk

Sometimes a bit of extra thickness is needed for smoothies and sauces. Plus, put the pulp in the dehydrator and for when you need almond flour. It’s a win-win!

2 cups almonds
3-1/2 cups water

Place all ingredients in the wet container. Turn on variable speed 1, increase to 10, then high. Blend 30 - 60 seconds to reach desired smoothness. Strain through a nutmilk bag. Stores for 3 days in the refrigerator. 


Dehydrate the pulp for 12 hours or until completely dry. Process into a fine flour. Stores in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for a month.


Enjoy!

Two Recipes - Vegan Mayonnaise plus Walnut Apricot Shake

No, the mayonnaise does NOT go in the shake! Here's two recipes from the same cup of walnuts. (ingredients are highlighted with italics)

1 cup walnuts, soaked and drained
2 cups water

Place all ingredients into the wet container. Turn on variable speed 1 then increase to 10. Turn to high for 2 minutes. Strain 1-1/2 cups walnut milk through a filter bag back into the wet container.

Soak 2 pitted dates and 4 dried apricots while making the mayonnaise.

Place contents of filter bag into a bowl and add:
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste

The mayonnaise is finished! Now back to the shake…

Add 4 ice cubes to the wet container. Turn on variable speed 1 then increase to 10. Turn to high for 30 seconds or until blended.

Enjoy!
