Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 immersion blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
  • 3/4 cup dry coconut flakes
  • 1/2 medium banana
  • 3 Tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • Add whole almonds in a medium bowl and cover them with water so that there are 2 fingers above. Then cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and leave for the night or at least for 10 hours. The same with dates: remove the pit and soak them with water overnight so that the water covers them.
  • The next day, drain the water from the soaked almonds and rinse well with water. Drain also the pitted dates (optional: you can rinse them too)
  • Grind the dried almonds until they become as thin as possible in a food processor.
