Cherries are strengthening to the blood and help reduce acidity in your body. Ginger stimulates digestion and circulation, improving the elimination of toxins. And almonds, besides being loaded with great minerals and protein, are also alkalizing and detoxifying to your body. When raw almonds are soaked, as they are in this recipe, their full enzyme potential and life force is activated.
