When making almond milk in The NutraMilk, all you have leftover are the skins... but as Abby says: "I don’t even like to waste the little leftovers from making almond milk in my NutraMilk! So, I came up with these Vanilla Birthday Cake Bites using the almond skins. Take 10 minutes after making your almond milk to make this amazing snack. It’s perfect for when you want to “Snack Naked” (aka my term for when you snack on foods that are plastic and package free!).
