**Eco Peaceful - Recipe Wall** http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipes?layout= Fri, 29 Mar 2024 16:03:13 +0000 en-us Almond Hemp Milk - Boost Nutrition with Hemp Seeds http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/26-almond-hemp-milk-boost-nutrition-with-hemp-seeds http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/26-almond-hemp-milk-boost-nutrition-with-hemp-seeds

BOOST NUTRITION WITH HEMP SEEDS - Almonds are very nutritious, and a good source of vitamin E, but they are low in omega 3, while hemp seeds have a perfect ratio of omega 3 to 6. So, by combining them you can make a very nutritious nut milk. Most nuts and seeds are better to combine to get the best nutrients profile. I highly recommend using CRON-O-Meter to keep track of both micro and macro nutrients.

NUTS... FOR WEIGHT LOSS? - Contrary to a popular, yet unscientific, belief that only low-fat diets help you to lose weight, scientific studies show that adding nuts and seeds (high in fat) into your diet can actually help you to lose weight, and even live longer! The satiating element of fatty foods can also entice people to reduce cravings, and reduce and eliminate animal foods, and/or help stay on a vegan/plant based diet!

HOW TO REDUCE THE HEMP SEED TASTE - Hemp seeds do not require soaking, but if you do not like the strong hemp taste, soaking and rinsing can reduce the hempy taste. To completely eliminate the hempy taste you can also roast them, but it is not the healthiest way since it damages the fats (fatty acids).

COST - WOW! STORE BOUGHT ALMOND MILK, COSTS UP TO $70/LB FOR THE ALMONDS!! - Some people think that store-bought milk costs less than homemade nut milk, but store bought almond milk are mostly made of water, non-nutritious fillers/thickeners, and possibly extracted oils/fat(s) and sugar(s). On average store bought almond milk has ONLY 4 almonds per cup! Buying packaged almond milk is similar to buying bottled vitamin water or soda, since in both you pay a lot for not getting much nutrients and most of the calories come from processed sugar(s). 

BE A BETTER VEGAN BY REDUCING PLASTIC POLLUTION - Most plant milks are packaged in cartons (74% paper, 22% polyethylene and 4% aluminum) which makes them very difficult to recycle, so they end up in landfills toxify our ground waters. If this toxic plastic enters back into our environment it can end up harming and killing animals. Plus, the lids are unrecyclable and can end up in animals (mostly birds) stomach. Buying almonds in bulk using a reusable or compostable bag reduces plastic pollution. 

EQUIPMENT
Blender - Good news! You do not need a high-speed blender (such as Vitamix or Blendtec) for making any nut milk. NOTE: According to independent studies, BPA-free blenders are not truly BPA free. To avoid toxic chemicals from plastic leaching into your food, we recommend using a glass jar blender without plastic on the bottom (Dynablend Clean DB-950 or Oster Pro 1200 both have stainless steel on the bottom). Click here to watch our videos for more details.

Nut Milk Bag - To avoid eating synthetic fibers (hmmm eating plastic?) and leaching toxic chemicals into your food, from synthetic (nylon) nut milk bags (often just relabeled paint strainers), I recommend using a 100% organic or natural nut milk bag.
NOTE: On Amazon.com there are many fake Organic nut milk bags and not even fully "natural". We tested several nut milk bags, and all of them had synthetic threads that is fraying and even glue on the end of the threads despite their claims of "organic cotton threads" and "no glue'! Read our article EXPOSED!

Melon Seed Milk Recipe - Straight from Melon http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/24-melon-seed-milk-recipe-straight-from-melon http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/24-melon-seed-milk-recipe-straight-from-melon

For a long time I wondered what do you do with melon seeds?

NOT WASTE - Most people usually eat melon and discard melon seeds. And I am totally guilty of that. All my life, I either threw away or composted melon seeds. One day I said to myself, "What a waste of a highly nutritious food!" I tried to eat the seeds them, but it was too much work to get the seeds from their shell, and then I realized that I could just make melon seed milk, in the same way that I was making almond milk.
EASY & SAFE MONEY
- Yes! You can make very easily melon milk out of any melon seeds (Honeydew, Cantaloupe, (ect.), and it saves you money at the same time.
WEIGHT LOSS - Contrary to a popular unscientific belief, that low-fat diets help you to lose weight, scientific studies actually show that including nuts and seeds (high in fat) in your diet can actually help you to lose weight, and even live longer!
NUTRITION - I was unable to find the nutrition data of melon seeds, but squash and melon are in the same family, so I am guessing they will be similar in nutrients. According to http://nutritiondata.self.com squash seeds, are "a good source of Protein, Vitamin K, Iron and Copper, and a very good source of Magnesium, Phosphorus and Manganese."
EQUIPMENT

Blender - You do not need a high-speed blender (such as Vitamix or Blendtec) for making any kind of nut milk. We recommend using a glass jar blender (Dynablend Clean DB-950 or Oster Pro 1200) to avoid toxic chemicals from plastic leaching into your food. Click here to watch our videos for more details
Nut Milk Bag - To avoid eating synthetic fibers and leaching toxic chemicals from nylon nut milk bag (often just relabeled paint strainers) into your food, I recommend using a 100% organic or natural nut milk bag.
NOTE: On Amazon.com and Ebay.com there are many fake nut milk bags that claim to be "organic" but are in fact not organic, and not even fully natural. Click here to read our article EXPOSED! Fake Organic Hemp Nut milk Bags sold on Amazon.
Strainer - If you do not have a nut milk bag, a stainless steel fine mesh strainer will also work well if you are only working with a small amount of seeds (1 cup or less).

USES - Melon seed milk can be used in any dairy-free recipes to substitute for dairy milk, in carob smoothies, green smoothies, tropical mixed fruit smoothie and on your cereals and muesli.

Muesli with Nut Milk & Berries http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/4-muesli-with-nut-milk-and-black-berries http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/4-muesli-with-nut-milk-and-black-berries

Vegan and /or Raw Muesli is a popular meal (usually breakfast) based of rolled oats or other rolled grains (which is usually not raw), fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds and mixed with any plant milk (nut milk, soy milk, rice milk) coconut yogurt or/and fruit juice.

How to Make it 100% Raw
Rolled oats are not raw product, unless it is labeled as raw. Whole Foods sells raw rolled oats in a plastic bag packaging, I do not consider single-use and disposable plastic as vegan-friendly or eco-friendly, so it is not an EcoPeaceful option, especially when rolled oats available in bulk.
Whole oat is raw and can be purchased in bulk section of Whole Foods - Use presoaked (overnight) whole oats, whole oats also can be sprouted.
Raw nut milk - Make homemade nut/seed milk from unpasteurized nuts or seeds and dates as a sweetener.

Muesli Image with Mulberries
The image shows a Pakistan mulberries (large ruby red-purple) and White mulberries from my trees. I am very disappointed with the taste of fresh white mulberries, they are not sweet at all. Some people describe them as "mild", but I would say that they are tasteless even as some of store bought vegetables. The most flavorful mulberries seem to be the Pakistan mulberries. I think, they are one of the tastiest of all berries and I am growing them in all places the desert of Las Vegas! I am so happy to have huge sweet fresh Pakistan mulberries from a tree - and I soooo happy to skip all that plastic packaging from store bought berries, which as you know often harms and kills animals/wildlife.

Kids-friendly
My son loves this recipe with raspberries, we also planted them in Las Vegas, but we are not sure if we will succeed in producing raspberries. Choose your berries based on availability and/or taste preference, they are all super healthy and super nutritious. I am so happy that my picky son loves this recipe, since it takes very little time to make it and now he can even make it himself.

Sprouting in a Hemp Bag http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/33-sprouting-in-a-hemp-bag http://ecopeaceful.com/recipes/recipe-wall/recipe/33-sprouting-in-a-hemp-bag

What seeds can be sprouted in a hemp bag?

Hemp sprouting bags is the best option to grow almost all seeds1.

Examples of popular seeds2 that are good for sprouting in a hemp bag:

Grains (whole): Barley, Kamut, Oat, Rice (not white, not parched), Quinoa, Rye, Wheat
Legumes: Adzuki, Fenugreek, Garbanzo, Green pea, Lentil, Mung bean, Peanut 
Seeds: Clover, Radish

What is the best3 way to buy seeds for sprouting?

Most sprouting seeds can be purchased in the bulk section of health food stores. Almost all seeds qualify as "sprouting seeds" and therefore they DO NOT need to be in special packages or purchased from special "sprouting" seller. Benefits of buying your sprouting seeds from the bulk section in health food stores vs. specially packaged "sprouting seeds". 

1) Cost - reduces your cost 2-3 times 
2) Packaging - avoid thick plastic packaging (small size, non-biodegradable, non-recyclable), by reusing the same bags or use your own compostable/natural bag4 
3) Shipping packaging - avoid increased shipping packaging (usually not eco-friendly) and/or cardboard boxes made from virgin wood sources. 
4) Transportation - reduce transportation carbon footprint
