Frosty Deglet Noor Nut Milk (In 15 seconds!)

This milk can be made in a high speed blender in literally seconds! I love making nut milk, especially when it is this delicious and this FAST! Plus, you don't need a nut milk bag! This is also a delicious creamy banana milkshake all by itself. It's loaded with vital nutrients as well: Bananas are a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin B6. While Almonds are loaded with Protein, Calcium, Magnesium and Manganese with  Zinc, Copper and other trace minerals. Dates are a powerhouse of energy, and a great source of Fiber, Folate and some Trace Minerals (not to mention an amazing caramel flavor!).

This is all you need for the quickest, creamiest, most delicious nut-milk you've ever had! I used Maple Flavor Almond Butter, MaraNatha brand. Any raw nut butter should work just fine (I would suggest either Almond or Cashew). You could make your own nut butter to ensure great taste and a fresh consistency, try this recipe created by Angela Liddon for 'Kitchen Sink Nut Butter'. Or, buy a raw nut butter from the health food store.

I love finding new products. Recently, I was shopping in Salt Lake City, I went to my favorite store, Sunflower Farmers Market. I found one of the most delicous finds! Fresh, moist, juicy Deglet Noor Dates! I usually use Medjool dates from Costco, but these literally taste like soft buttery caramel! And, the best part is,....... drumroll!..................... each date is only 20 calories ! I am so facinated by dates... there are so many delicious varieties!

Have you ever seen a Date Tree?

Nature is so amazing!

The Deglet Noor dates came from Hadley Farms, California.

Ashlee Crozier, (my amazing vegan sister, the genius behind plantinfusions.blogspot.com!) pointed out to me that if you take something away from somone you need to give them something even better in place of it. Say no more...
