Turtle Lake Refuge Recipes
We hope you enjoy these delicous and nutritious recipes. All our recipes call for organic and/or wild ingredients, all readily available just a few steps from the front door! But make sure the wild ingredients you pick have not been sprayed by neighbors or the local vector control. Request that the roadsides are not sprayed, include a yummy batch for a recipe you've made when you go ask you local officials not to spray!

Almond Milk

  • 1 cup soaked almonds
  • 2 T honey or 1/2 cup of dates
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 4 cups of water

Blend all ingredients thoroughly. Strain out the pulp with either a strainer or a cheese cloth bag. Place pulp back into the blender with more water. Strain again. You should have 8 cups of sweet delicious almond milk. Use the pulp in dressings, cookies, manna bread or any other raw food recipes. For a variation use 2-4 bananas or the wheat berry juice strained out in making manna bread instead of almonds.
