Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 4-5 cups filtered water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 dates or 3 tbsp of honey or maple syrup
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder – for chocolate almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries – for strawberry almond milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the almonds: Soak your almonds overnight in water. If you are using 1 cup almonds, be sure to have at least 2 cups water. The almonds will absorb the liquid and expand.
  2. Blend everything together: drain the almonds and blend together the almonds, water, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener of choice. Blend in cocoa for chocolate milk and blend in strawberries for strawberry milk.
  3. Strain: strain through the cheesecloth or nut milk bag (I like putting a fine mesh strainer underneath for extra support) and squeeze every last bit of liquid out of the almonds.
  4. Store or serve immediately.
