Make sure you make your own nutmilk, and not store bought. I haven't yet found a legal store bought brand. You can get really good quality nutmilk bags from amazon.com and I think they come in sets of 3 or 4. That's where I got mine and I love them.What kinds of things do you guys use nut milk for? I was thinking of trying some, but I don't want to make it and then not know what to do with it!

> I don't know what Mara does but I make cereal by making a less sweet version

of scd cake (w/ almond meal rather than almond flour) and then break it up and

dehydrate it until it's dry. It's kind of like having grapenuts. Super tasty!

And now I'm craving it but don't have time to cook! Curses!

Yes, no fiber, it's essentially fat and flavor and water.

Yes.

I have a latte recipe - you use the foam on top of the almond milk, which

is really yummy, to make the foam on the latte. (And the regular milk

to lighten it). Also, you can add cocoa butter flakes to it on top - so it

is a bit like a mocha, if you like that flavor.
