Homemade "Apple Pie Larabars"

  So a while ago i found a Larabar box in my closet and i remember hiding them because i thought they were gross and i didn't just want to throw them away but when i tried them again this time i fell in love with the Apple Pie bar, it's soo good! When i saw the ingredients i though heck yeah i can make this deliciousness so i attempted to do so. The ingredients in the apple pie bar are: Dates, almonds, raisins, apples and cinnamon.(and walnuts but i didn't have any) It's so simple to make all i did was first blend the almonds then blend the apples then the dates, you can blend the raisins too but it doesn't do much, and you mash it all together! Then you can shape them however you want. They come out tasting exactly like the bar it's pretty amazing.

(I ended up using only one apple, about 10 dates, and about a tabls. of cinnamon)

Raw Almond Milk, done!

I saw on Instagram that Elizabeth Antoinette made herself some almond milk and since i always get the Silk brand almond milk i thought why not make it. So i turned to YouTube to see how others did theirs and its so easy to make. So first I soaked a cup of almonds in water overnight, so about 8-12 hours, then i let the almonds dry pretty much all day on a piece of cloth. After in a regular ol bender i blended all the almonds with about 2 cups of water then i drained out all the good stuff, as you can see on the picture above the bottom left photo. The milk at first tasted all right but not like i wanted it to taste so i added 3 small/medium pitted dates and it was perfect! Also i don't really remember which YouTube video was it was they said the milk should last about one week, so drink up!
