<p>*½ lb. of raw, unsalted almonds<br />
*6 bananas<br />
* fine strainer or cheesecloth</p>
<p>let the bananas ripen so that 1/3 to ½ of the skin  is covered with spots.  The bananas become sweeter,  creamier, and easier to digest this way.  This will be important for taste and texture.</p>
<p>Peel the bananas and place them into heavy duty freezer bags or Tupperware, and then put them in the freezer for at least 24 hours.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Almond Milk</strong></span></p>
<p>Soak the almonds for 8-12 hours, and rinse.</p>
<p>Add soaked almonds to blender, then add twice as much purified water.  i.e. Fill almonds up to the 8 oz. line in the blender, and then add water up to the 16 oz. line.</p>
<p>Blend on high speed for several minutes.  Then strain the mix   with a fine strainer or cheesecloth.</p>
<p>Add vanilla and almond flavoring to taste.  (or use a whole vanilla bean)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Bananas</span></strong></p>
<p>Take out of the freezer a few minutes before adding to the blender to soften them slightly.  Cut up into pieces no longer than one inch.</p>
<p>Add almond milk to blender.  Add frozen bananas pieces to the blender a little at a time.</p>
<p>For example, 8 oz. of milk will use 3-4 frozen bananas to make a nice thick milkshake consistency.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Enjoy!</strong></span></p>
