Coming at you with another recipe to repurpose almond pulp! If you are unfamiliar, almond pulp is what is leftover part of the almond when you make your own almond milk. If you haven’t yet seen it, check out my previous post on how to make almond milk.

It also reduces waste by not purchasing store bought almond milk in single-use containers.

This pesto is dairy free and uses nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. See full recipe below!

As much as I like oatmeal, who wants to eat warm oats over the summer? Not me. Plus it make it that much easier to make!
These Pineapple Overnight Oats are mixed with nut milk and of course fresh cut pineapple for a sweet and delicious flavor. It also contains both chia seeds and flax seeds for a dose of healthy fat and fiber. This combination helps keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer. It is sweetened with coconut nectar.
