The Raw End
From fast food addiction and stockpiled frozen meals, to veganism and organic advocacy, modern food culture is marked with an infinite list of dietary habits.
The irony of this situation is that in an age of exceptional understanding about health and nutrition, we are eating in more varied ways than ever. The choices we make tend to repulse each other, ricocheting into strict dietary schools of thought, and conversely, into nutritional thoughtlessness.

“When you rush around in hopeless circles
Searching ev'rywhere for something true
You're at the age of not believing
When all the "make believe" is through
When you set aside your childhood heroes
And your dreams are lost up on a shelf
You're at the age of not believing
And worst of all you doubt yourself..”The only thing limiting what we can do with (our brains) is the limits we place on our beliefs about what we can do to change.

Nut Milk Bags - Instructions & Ideas
Making Nut Milk instructions
Do you know you can make milk from nuts and seeds?
Now you can do this quickly and easily while at home with … the Living Synergy Nut Milk Bag!
The Nut Milk Bag is a handy tool that helps you make fresh, living and nutritious milk from a variety of nuts and seeds. You can also use it to make juice from fresh ingredients, by blending and then straining the juice through the bag. Yet another use is to grow sprouts in it.
Make the milk in 3 easy steps:
- SOAK soak your nuts of choice in enough water to cover them, even as they swell
- BLEND rinse and strain thoroughly before putting in the blender with some water then blend
- STRAIN strain through the Nut Milk Bag and ‘milk’ it with your hands
You can use most nuts/seeds including almonds (the most neutral and widely used for nut milk), brazil, pecan, walnut, pistachio, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin etc … Make sure they are raw and unsalted.
Those with brown skins have enzyme inhibitors and require soaking for at least 6 hours (overnight is easy) and then a good rinse. The fattier nuts like macadamias and cashews don’t require soaking, although it can make them a little creamier depending on what you are using them for.
Use between 2 to 6 parts water to 1 part nuts/seeds. The less water, the creamier the milk will be.
You can sweeten and flavour the milk with honey, dates, vanilla etc…, by either adding them in the blender before you strain the milk, or blending into the milk when you are making a smoothie or whatever else takes your fancy.
It is easiest to put the Nut Milk Bag over a large jug to strain the milk. A bowl is also fine, although I would recommend one with a lip for easy pouring once the milk is strained. The nut milk will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can use the milk for smoothies, soups, over granola, raw ice-cream or anywhere else you would normally use milk. Try a blend with a mix of fresh and frozen ripe bananas and perhaps mango, strawberries, frozen raspberries, vanilla, dates and cinnamon. Your options are endless and only limited by your imagination.
Play around and see what you like. Your body will love this real, live food, free of additives and preservatives that hasn’t been heated to high temperatures.
It makes a great alternative for those who are sensitive to dairy. If you know anyone who is, why not pass the info on?
The Nut Milk Bags come nicely packaged in a box with a coloured instruction and recipe booklet including photos. A lovely gift idea too!
