Nutritious Breakfast Milk

An easy and nourishing way to start the day!

Original recipe by Ramni Verma 

 

Cook time: 3 minutes

Servings : 1

Ingredients:

Fresh organic milk 10 oz
Organic dates 1
Organic Turkish fig 1
Organic walnut pieces 8 to 10
Raw almonds 10 to 12 soaked overnight and skin peeled
Pepper just a pinch

Method:

Use milk at room temperature or slightly warm. It's easier for the body to utilize the vitamins and minerals from food this way.

Add the date, fig, walnuts, almonds, and pepper to a blender jar. Add just enough milk for easy blending. Blend to a smooth consistency. Add the remaining milk and stir. For those with a sweet tooth add a spoonful of raw honey.

Enjoy every morning on an empty stomach for breakfast. Its best to have this milk by itself.  You can enjoy a light snack or fruit after about 30 to 40 minutes of it.
