Greetings!
Today, I want to write about a subject that, until about ten years ago, was considered a sacred cow. That subject is milk and forgive the pun, but I couldn’t resist! 
When I was a child growing up, I don’t remember drinking water at all! Mostly, what I drank was cow’s milk, orange/apple juice and yes, sometimes pop - but mostly milk! I credit the white stuff for the irritating case of eczema I had around my wrists then. It is unthinkable to me today to not drink lots of water – our bodies need it for so many processes. Did you know that it helps to take toxins out of the body, keep your skin clear and hydrated and helps keep bodyweight in check, among a gazillion other things?
Now, even though I drink a lot more water, I still enjoy a bowl of cereal (high-fibre now – goodbye to the sugary junk!). The problem is that I don’t want to drink cow’s milk because of what is in it (I will provide you with a *blue link* at the end of the post if you would like to learn more……..) and the fact that it acidifies the blood. Ignorance is not bliss – it is sickness – and it’s up to us to take responsibility for knowing what the truth is.
So, what is the solution for my cereal problem?!!! Well, the solution is a great one – nut milk - particularly almond milk! Almond milk alkalizes the blood, adding protein and healthy minerals/vitamins as well. There are no hormones in it so there’s no hormone disruptions in the body, nor is there a problem with “particulate matter” floating around in there, unseen to the naked eye and unnoticed by super sensitive taste buds! Of course, if you are allergic to nuts, this won’t work and you will have to find another solution.
The recipe is simple:
- 1 cup of nuts, soaked overnight. (if they have skins, the skins contain enzyme inhibitors, so soaking is a must)
- 2 cups of fresh, filtered water.
- A speck of honey/agave nectar
- A dash of vanilla
So, give it a whirl for a few days and see how you feel.
Thanks for reading along!
