Almond Pulp Date Macaroons
Waste nothing, or as a little as possible. If you routinely make almond milk, you’ll want to find ways to use the left-over almond pulp. One of the things to do is make this almond body scrub, but another is to make Almond Pulp Macaroons. These gluten-free and vegan treats are a guest favorite at the Sugar Ridge Retreat Center, a yoga retreat in Ontario, Canada — they adapted this recipe from the Yoga Journal.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes
We prefer "blonde" dates like Baari, for a lighter, warmer flavor and color. If you love chocolate you can add a few tablespoons of cocoa into the mix before baking or drizzle melted chocolate over the finished macaroons.
