ALMONDS:
Cholesterol Regulation is one of the most known benefits of Almonds. Ninety percent of the fat in almonds is unsaturated fat, and frequent consumption, as a result, could help lower blood cholesterol levels. You can eat almonds directly, preferably eat it empty stomach to ensure absorption of their nutrients. You can soak them in water overnight and eat in the morning. You can also garnish various dishes with crushed almonds. Almonds are high in protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, Copper, vitamin E, and other antioxidants.

Soak almonds for 6-8 hours in a cup of filtered water. Drain the water and put the almonds in the blender with fresh water, vanilla extract, honey and salt. Blend in a blender for 2-3 minutes. I drink my cup of almond milk without straining. If you don't like it that way, use a nut milk bag or strainer to strain the milk. Enjoy this easy and delicious almond milk.
