pumpkin seed milk
Makes about 4 cups
My seeds are a lot less expensive than my almonds and it’s nice to change it up a bit!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pumpkin seeds, soaked
- 1 tablespoon raw agave nectar
- 3½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla (not raw, I know) or achunk of vanilla bean
Preparation
Blend pumpkin seeds with about 1/2 a cup of water until very smooth. Add agave, vanilla and the rest of the water and belnd again. strain through cheesecloth or a nut bag (I just use a kitchen towel; I don’t have either!) Enjoy!

hmmm… great idea! you can use panty hose if you don’t want to mess up your tea towel.

How long do you soak the pumpkin seeds? I’ve been looking for a way to use my bag o’them, and just ran out of my almond milk, so this is good and timely—thanks!

I was making pumpkin seed milk or sunflower seed milk a few months back from Ani Phyo’s “Ani’s Raw food Kitchen (by the way, she has some other great milk recipes) I loved it…but it was upsetting my digestion….not to sure why, but unfortunately I had to stop making it and go back to the other alternatives. But sunflower or pumpkin seed milk issss greeeaaat!!! In Ani Phyo’s book she suggests to use dates instead of agave and a half of a vanilla bean.

Wonderful! I’ve been eating to many nuts, so this will be a nice change. I’m soaking some now to make in the morning.
