ALMOND BATH

Soak your nuts much?
Seriously, sprouted almonds are the best. Easier to digest and have a lot of protein. Almonds can often be difficult for many people to digest because of an enzyme-inhibiting substance in their skin. Soaking or sprouting removes this inhibitor so that the enzymes secreted during digestion can do their job.

Be sure to get organic raw unsalted almonds. Better deal price wise in bulk. If you cannot get organic be sure to get them raw and unsalted.

TO SOAK
3 or 4 cups almonds
cover with lukewarm purified water in a glass or stainless steel container
make sure bowl is large since the nuts will swell and grow in size
cover the almonds with a little extra water
soak overnight for at least 12 hours
drain with cold water (do not walk away / peel immediately)
the cold water will enable you to slide and remove the skins (the skin is now toxic)
while you remove the skins meditate / it takes a while
store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days (eat them relatively soon)

Almonds combine well with avocado. Throw them in a salad.
