Simple single-serving nut milk recipe
Can you believe that it’s 2021 and I’ve never attempted to make almond milk at home
Yeah, I know…WILD.
But today’s the day I finally tried it and needless to say… I was STUNNED. It took me less than 5 minutes…how and why have I waited this long? A question I’ll be asking myself for a while.
TOOLS
nutribullet (I’ve linked the one my husband and I use) or any highspeed blender
mesh strainer (I used a stainless steel tea infuser and it worked great!)
INGREDIENTS
2 TBSP almonds
1 large pitted date
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz water
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all ingredients in your blender
Blend until you reach a thick and creamy consistency (on the nutribullet it took about 1 minute, but give it breaks so you don’t burn out the motor)
Strain the mixture
Refrigerate or use it right away
SUSTAINABILITY TIPS
I was able to find the almonds and dates in bulk at my local zero-waste grocery store.
You can use the leftover almond pulp in your oatmeal or a smoothie for additional protein
