These are one of our favorite nuts! A tasty alternative to your usual nut milk!
**Why It's So Good For You?**
Although we love almond, we also love to mix it up! Brazil nut milk has quickly become a favorite of ours due to these nuts' unbelievably amazing nutrient profile. One of the richest sources of selenium in the food world, making them a great addition to your diet to help boost your immune system. They also contain a complete amino acid profile making them a great plant-based protein source.
Add this as a base to your smoothies, oatmeal, chia puddings or drink a glass on its own!

### Ingredients
(use organic where possible)
- 1 cup Brazil nuts (soaked overnight)
- 4 cups filtered water
- 2 dates, pitted
- 1 tsp vanilla powder or extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
### Directions
1. Drain and rinse soaked brazil nuts.
2. Combine soaked brazil nuts, dates, vanilla, sea salt and water in the blender or the Hurom Juicer.
3. Blend well for 30 seconds to 1 minute until milk is smooth and creamy.
4. Optional to strain through a nut milk bag or pour straight into glass bottles for storage in the fridge if you don't mind the pulp in your milk.
**Note:**
- We love using our Hurom for nut milk as it strains out most of the pulp and leaves you with a smooth, creamy milk!
- Soaking nuts, seeds and grains allows enzyme inhibitors to be released, making them easier to digest and enhances nutrient bio-availability. Soaking them also makes them easier to blend and results in a creamy consistency that is like milk. Most nuts generally require 7 - 12 hours or overnight of soaking time for optimal results. Discard the soaking water and thoroughly rinse with fresh water
