Are you ready for this? Brenton said to me the other day "you know... we don't NEED milk..." So that got me thinking- should we start getting Almond Milk? But the pre-packaged stuff has all that junk in it- even the organic kind! So, how about making my own? You bet-cha! It was SO easy. Seriously! And if you're wondering about calorie breakdown, each Cup of this recipe is 138 calories.
First, I soaked a cup of almonds overnight in Brita
filtered water. (enough to cover)
24 hours later, look how fat they got!! Then, I watched Angela Stokes-Monarch from the Raw Food World take the outer film off half of the almonds, so I did it too!
Then, I blended the almonds with 6 cups of water (eventually... I only have a personal blender so I had to do small batches at a time).
Once the liquid formed a foam at the top and looked all blended up, I poured it into a strainer (you could use a nut bag or cheesecloth if you have any... I didn't...), and used a spatula to push the pulp to get the liquid out.
Once strained, I poured it into mason jars and put it in the fridge. This will keep 4-ish days.
SO EASY! SO GOOD! You should try it!! There are variations that you could do- add dates and vanilla extract for sweetness, add cinnamon and nutmeg for a warming drink... feel free to experiment!!
