Hello, yes a newbie here (Love it here). I am reading FLTS and getting my plan for nutrition and training set. I recently have been making my own almond milk and absolutely love it.
I have a set recipe, but was thinking of adding 6 cups water instead of the 5. Does anyone know how to figure calories, etc. on the homemade stuff?? Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks
Here's the recipe:
PS I LEAVE OUT THE SALT, VANILLA AND PRUNE
For sweeter add another date. You can also add a tsp. of vanilla extract or one vanilla bean for more flavor. This will last up to four days in the fridge.
5 Minutes to Prepare and Cook
Ingredients

1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
Directions
Makes 5 1-cup servings.
