    I have become increasingly interested in using almonds in my diet, thanks to Elana's book and website and some other reading I have been doing. (Thanks Elana!) I started to make my own almond milk and find it so easy. I am curious how others make almond milk. I am also interested in hearing whether anyone knows of any use for the meal that remains once the milk is strained out. I feel terribly about throwing it away. Finally, I am interested in whether anyone has a good source for raw, organic bulk almonds. I haven't found any websites that offer prices lower than I can get in my local store. Thanks for reading this long post!

    I use the leftover meal as a body scrub in the shower. It makes your skin feel great. Keep it refrigerated or use immediately.

    Have you tried Trader Joe's for almonds?

    Hey Song,

    Nutsonline.com has raw organic almonds in bulk:

    http://www.nutsonline.com/nuts/almonds/organic.html

    You can buy them in amounts of 1 pound and upwards. Price ranges from $13.99 per lb (if you order 1-5 lbs) and gets incrementally cheaper, the larger your bag/order, to $12.59 per lb if you order 15+ pounds.

    Shipping would vary according to weight: about $7 (for 1 pound); $10-ish for 15 pounds, for example. Cost may also depend on the zip code it's shipping to.

    Check them out! I am very happy with their service. I haven't ordered these particular almonds but whatever I've gotten from them so far has been fresh and delicious, excellently packaged.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the idea to use the meal as a body scrub! And thanks for the nutsonline tip. However, I can get one pound at my grocery store for about $7. The price range that nuttin cited are in the range that I find online also, which is a lot more than in the store. I must be missing something...

    Oh, and I have purchased nuts from Trader Joe's - but to make almond milk I need pounds, which would be a lot of bags and not cost-effective. Thanks for the suggestion though! CooL!

    I wonder if nutsonline are truly raw and the ones in the store may have been heated.
