When I buy almond milk from the grocery store, I get so frustrated because of all the added ingredients (that I don't even understand what they are). Natural flavors, preservatives - seriously what are these things and why do I need to ingest them? Especially, when - with a little bit of forethought I can just make my own. Easily. And it's so good. Soak about a cup of almonds in 3 cups of water overnight. The next day (when the almonds are all plump and nice), drain the water. Then combine in the Vitamix. It's that simple. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 c almonds soaked in water overnight and then drained
- 3 cups of water
Optional:
- pinch of salt
- dash of cinnamon
- 1-3 dates
Blend together well. Add a pinch of salt, a bit of cinnamon, and a couple dates (if you'd like) to sweeten it up. Strain through cheesecloth (or a mesh veggie bag works too).
Bam. Homemade almond milk. It keeps for about a week.
You're welcome.
