I tried this and found it very easy to make.  I ate one immediately after I made it and it was good.  I refrigerated the remainder and ate one as part of my post work out meal.  The refrigerated one had a much better taste.  YUMMY!!!!!

Hi Pam,
Ive learned that soaking almonds, or any kind of nut, grain or seed, takes the naturally present inhibitors away and releases the stored nutrients. Just a tip for the almonds.
