Brazil Nut Milk

If you’re in to making your own homemade nut mylks, make sure you give the tried, tested and true almond milk a break and swap it for Brazil nuts every once and a while! 

Brazil nuts are highly nutritious, and are especially high in the mineral Selenium, and contain abundant dietary antioxidants. A single Brazil nut 160% of the US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of selenium – perhaps the best source of Se from plant-based foods. Their antioxidant and antiproliferative activities, are linked to reducing risk of developing atherosclerosis and cancer.¹

Be sure to soak your Brazil nuts before you blend this up. Find out why in our article, The Art of Soaking and Sprouting.
