Homemade Coconut Milk


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of coconut
  • 2-3 cups of water (depending on how creamy you want it to be)
  • Sweetener of your choice (optional)


1. BLENDER
Pour all the ingredients together and blend (make sure you don't blend it too long as you will create a coconut butter instead of a milk). Using a cloth napkin or a towel pour the liquid in there and squeeze it so you will get the milk out if it. You can put the coconut flesh back into the blender, add some water and repeat it if you want. 

2. SLOW JUICER
Cut the coconut into small pieces and pour them into a slow juicer at the same time when you add water, so they can mix together. When the coconut milk is done add some sweetener if you want.

3. BLENDER + SLOW JUICER
Pour all the ingredients together and blend it for few seconds so the coconut pieces get smaller and mix with water a little. Pour the mixture into a slow juicer. 

*Don't throw out the coconut pulp. Place it onto a paper and dehydrate in a dehydrator or oven on the low temperature to make coconut flour. If you do it the third way don't blend it too long as the coconut pieces will not be fully blended and once you dehydrate it you will get a shredded coconut.

You can store it up to 3-4 days in a fridge. Shake before each use as the coconut milk can get separated.

You can add it to your chocolate banana smoothie, chia pudding or waffles. 



Enjoy!

Raw & Vegan Dried Fruit Mini Muffins


Ingredients:
  • Dried fruit (I used dates, prunes and raisins)
  • Nut butter

Optional:
  • Cinnamon 
  • Cocoa powder
  • Carob

1. Place all the ingredient, except nut butter, into a blender annd blend until it will become a sticky paste. 

2. Take it out of the blender and pour some water on your fingers to help you form the muffins.

3. When you form the muffin base create a small hole and pour some nut butter inside. 

4. Add some himalayan/sea salt on top (if it is unsalted) or pour some nut butter into a bowl and mix with salt.

5. Place them into a freezer for 10 - 20 min. so the nut butter become solid. 

*If you use peanut butter you can skip this step because it's already solid.  

6. Take them out from the freezer and place the top dried fruit layer onto the muffins covering the nut butter. 

7. Place them into the freezer for few hours or until they get harder. 



Enjoy!
