INSTRUCTIONS

Making almond milk

  • Start by making fresh almond milk which you will use to make the vegan mayonnaise and more for ranch dressing. Follow the recipe here for vegan mayonnaise.
  • Place almonds in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 7 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Add water and replace lid.
  • Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
  • Press Start.
  • Press Dispense, open spigot, and fill your container with almond milk.

Making almond cashew butter

  • Make any nut butter you like or use what you have in stock.
    • Place almond, cashews, and salt in the NutraMilk container.
    • Press Butter cycle, set for 7-8 minutes.
    • Press Start.
    • Open the container lid.
    • If necessary, set for an additional 2-3 minutes for a creamier butter.

Making vegan ranch

  • Mix together all ingredients in a bowl.
  • If mixture is too thick for your preference, add a little more milk.
  • Store in a jar in the fridge. The flavors will really come through after about 4 hours, but it’s still delicious before then.

Making falafels

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Mix all of the ingredients together the NutraMilk until they're well combined.

  • Add your choice of flavors to the mixture in the blender (see below for some suggestions).
  • Roll the mixture into balls with your hands. If the dough is a little wet, add more almond meal or flour, a little at a time.
  • Place the balls on a silicone baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Store in the fridge for five days, or freeze for up to two weeks.

Putting it all together

  • Choose any salad ingredients you like or have on hand and arrange your bowl as you desire. Drizzle with vegan ranch. Enjoy!
