Notes
I was inspired to post this after a great talk with Treasure, a friend/artist who's work i've been following for at least 10 years. So in her honor I am sharing this one and also because clients often ask me about this as well. This is one of my easiest and favorite healthy gut recipes i've been making for many years. I've also used other nuts or seeds in place of the almonds. It's fun to play around with. Soaking means they sprout enough to boost nutrient density and easier digestibility (yay!). Plus it's fun and economical.
