We previously gave you an easy recipe for Almond Milk, but did you know that you can pretty much make milk out of anything — quite cool really. Plus, it's a great 'dairy free' way to switch up your milk source and create some healthy pulp for those all important energy balls.
We love this milk as it is, but we also love it with some Organic Reishi and Cacao powders to turn it into a chocolatey health boost. To make it even more heavenly, you can either add some Ashwagandha Powder to give a malt type taste, or some Mesquite to give it a honey comb sweetness. The best part, it's raw with no toxins in sight.

Interestingly, they are also have one of the highest natural levels of vitamin E (approx. 82%), which is a potent free radical scavenger. They also contain Vitamins A, D and K, as well as VItamin B1 Thiamine, which plays a role in how our body uses energy from food and is vital for cellular function (containing around 43%), plus folate, magnesium and manganese.
