Raw Almonds
Homemade Almond mylk is so good and easy to make. I love using it for smoothies and in my tea, it is so much better than the box kind.
What you will need:
Vitamix
high-powered, high speed blender, I use a vitamix
nut milk bags
nut mylk bag get one here, or cheesecloth
soaked almonds
2 cups of almonds, soaked overnight and drained ( I get mine from Trader Joe’s)
4 cups of filtered water
1/4 cup of agave or honey
vanilla bean
1/2 vanilla bean scraped or 1 teaspoon of vanilla
lecithin
1 tablespoon Lecithin
2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil
pinch of salt
In blender, blend all ingredients for about 2 to 3 minutes making sure the nuts are throughly blended and the mixture is creamy. Strain the mylk through the nut bag or cheesecloth over a bowl. Taste and adjust mylk for sweetness and enjoy.
everything in the blender
Almond Mylk
I love making shakes with almond mylk, these are two of my favorite recipes.
Mexican Chocolat shake
2 cups of almond milk
1/2 vanilla bean scraped or one teaspoon of vanilla
1-2 packets of stevia or sweetner of your choice
1/2 teaspoon cinnammon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 cup cacao nibs or cacao powder
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of salt
Blend about 30 seconds
BlackBerry Smoothie
2 cups of almond mylk
1/2 vanilla bean scraped or one teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups of fresh blackberries, or strawberries or any berry of your choice or frozen berries, I prefer fresh, but in a pinch frozen is fine
Blend for about 30 seconds
Breakfast–Blackberry Smoothie
Almond mylk will last about 2-3 days in the refrigerator, if you have any left freeze in ice cube trays and add to smoothies. Unlike animal milk, almond mylk contains no cholesteral nor lactose about 90 calories per cup
