Dr Jockers Comments:
There are several good almond milk varieties you can purchase at a health food store. My personal favorite is Toasted Coconut milk that is a combo of coconut cream and almond milk. However, nothing beats a great homemade almond milk.
This has a slightly sweet flavor due to the coconut water that is used. Coconut water is full of potassium and other major electrolytes and is super hydrating for the body. If you want it more sweet you can choose to add in the dates. Personally, I would rather not have the fructose in the dates and don’t need a whole lot of sweetness.
Sprouting almonds is the most bioavailable way to consume them. The sprouting process removes phytic acids and enzyme inhibitors that deplete nutrients from the body. Soaked almonds taste very good and clean and leave you feeling so much better after you consume then when you eat unsoaked almonds.
