Why buy commercial almond milk when you can make your own? DIY is great on every level, giving you a more fresh, wholesome product that’s also very cost-effective. This way you fully control the ingredients you use, thus avoiding the additives required to make commercial non-dairy milks shelf stable. It’s also far more eco-friendly to make your own as you save on all that packaging waste and leave a minuscule carbon footprint. Best of all, this ensures you get truly raw nut milk, as soaking the nuts makes your milk healthier and easier to digest.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, or a combination—soaked for at least and hours, drained (almonds should be soaked overnight)
4 cups pure water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Raw agave nectar, coconut sugar, date sugar or stevia to taste
1/2 teaspoon Pink Himalayan crystal salt
Directions:
Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender until completely smooth. When you combine different types of nuts and blend completely, pulp is minimal. When using only almonds, you may wish to strain almond pulp with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Chill and enjoy!
