Almond milk is an excellent alternative to any kind of milk product! It is also much healthier. Making your own raw almond milk is easy, and requires only 3 ingredients (and only 2 if you want just plain almond milk!)
If you want an amazing blender, I highly suggest you purchase a vitamix! It makes the smoothest, most creamiest smoothies, raw soups and sauces I have ever experienced! If you purchase a vitamix through Live Love Fruit, you will get FREE shipping and handling! Click HERE to purchase.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh (un-roasted, raw) almonds
- water for soaking almonds
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 tsp. fresh vanilla bean (optional - this will make it have a hint of vanilla flavouring)
- 2 dates, (optional - this will make your almond milk taste slightly sweet, which most conventional almond milks taste like)
Directions:
1. Soak almonds overnight for at least 6 hours
2. Drain water from almonds and discard
3. Stick almonds, 3 cups water, vanilla, and dates into high speed blender (recommend to use the vitamix or blendtec), and blend until smooth
4. Strain blended almond milk using a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or other strainer
5. Fresh almond milk will keep for 4-5 days in the fridge
It is a really healthy alternative milk and it taste good too ...
ReplyDeleteI really love almond milk. Though I prefer calling it almond juice, cause almonds don't have tits, so it's not milk; it's juice. :D
ReplyDeleteImagine squeezing the yummy juice/milk in a nut milk bag, phew! it makes my day drinking one glass of almond juice/milk everyday.
