| Pink Cloud Sparkling Meadow II |
We used to be very "in" to shakes and juicing several years back. The name of this one is a take off of one of our most delightful ones which had a guava juice base and a similar colour. The Junger book has brought back many fond memories of making interesting and healthy juice mixes; although now we are aided by a Vita Mix which makes quite a difference. This concoction is a take off of the recipes in Clean.
The base is a nut milk; made with equal portions of brazil, walnut, and almonds. 1 cup of nuts is placed in a bowl to soak for 2 hours with 2 cups of water. The nuts are then drained and added to the mixer with 2 cups of fresh water and run for 2 minutes. Many folks like to strain the remaining nut meat from the milk - I like to leave about half in.
To prepare the shake, add one cup of nut milk to the mixer, a teaspoon of agave, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of blue berries, a handful of raspberries, and some cardamon. If the fruit is frozen mix for 1 minute, otherwise 30 seconds. This drink delivers a euphoric feeling and really will provide a lot of energy to your day. If you want you can also add some protein powder - if you do go with something that has a vanilla flavour to it.
The drink is not so much Indian, despite the spices, as it is a good start to a day and part of our overall food journey. We hope you enjoy this one.
