Video: Do- it- Yourself Almond Milk - It's Too Easy!

Dear brothers and sisters,

May we suggest an almond milk for Autumn:- In a blender add 3 cups of spring water followed by a heaping tablespoon of Alive, Organic Almond Butter. Press the button and voila! You have almond milk. It's that easy! But don't stop there. Go ahead, scoop out a pomegranate and add. Then, perhaps some diced apples, pears and Flame Raisins. How about dicing some Medjool and Halawi dates? Blend!                                                                 

Imagine starting your day with this effervescence.                                                                                    

Please except our best wishes for vibrant good health to you and your family.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment. I like to use binder clips to clamp the parchment down so the parchment stays in place.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, cereal, 1/8 cup of dried cranberries and 1 Tablespoon of pepitas. Set aside.

New! Items For November

Macadamia Oil (American Grown) – Alive and Organic

This macadamia oil is produced from macadamia nuts grown by family farmers. The trees thrive in the luxurious fertile soil of the isle of Kona, Hawaii.

Imparts a smooth, nutty flavor to foods. It is quite shelf stable. Has a distinct, inviting nutty aroma. Use macadamia oil for salad dressings, light sauteeing and stir frying – anything you’d normally use olive oil for.

Jujubes are red outside with a crispy texture, edible skin, and a sweet-tart flavor. Grown for you by Judith Redmond with Full Belly Farms, an outstanding family farmer here in California.

Jujuberries contain a wide array of nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, copper, niacin, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and iron. They contain 20 times more vitamin C than any citrus fruit, strengthening the immune system and fighting infections, which may be why they’ve been used medicinally for millennia in many cultures, as a tea for sore throat, for example.

A Few Words From Our Wonderful Customers

I received my order today. I have to tell you that for the first time ever, I was able to place my own order. In the past, my daughter in law would have to do it for me because I'm visually impaired. She notified me last week that Living Tree has a new web site and that I should see if it was finally accessible to people like me. The verdict is that it's one of the easiest I've used. Thank you so much for caring about us glorious elders... Diana
