Hey y'all!
I'm pretty new to the Peat-universe… so, it could very well be the case that I don't get all the principles etc. – be patient with me, ya?
I thought I'd share a recipe, one I have just created for lunch.
Date Vanilla Milk Shake
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups of grass-fed milk (1,5 %, pasteurized)
– 5 big medjool dates
– pinch of salt
– 1 tsp (refined) coconut oil
– 1/4 tsp vanilla powder (I guess vanilla extract would work, too)
– 2 egg yolks (free-range, organic)
This is how I did it:
I threw all the ingredients in my handy dandy high speed blender and let it all blend on medium for a few seconds.
Pretty good blender. Texture is really creamy, no lumps. I don't know how it would turn out with an inversion blender… maybe a bit lumpy?
Anyway. It's delicious. Sweet, creamy, vanilla-y. Like room-temperature ice cream milk shake.
It would be great to add some gelatin powder to this, I think, but right now I simply can't get over the fact that this stuff comes from animal skin, so it will take some time to get used to it. Gelatin makes me gag; not because of the taste – it's pretty natural, doesn't smell or anything. I'm using the hydrolyzed collagen; I wish I could just forget the thought that it comes from a dead animal. I am not vegetarian anymore, also don't want to be one anymore. (Was a vegan/fruitarian for 6 years and vegetarian for over 10.)
Anyways… I contributed my first recipe on here! Yay! Have a great day everyone.
Effect of the shake described:
Happy thoughts, alertness, satiated.
