Homemade Organic Almond Milk

Let me start with how EASY it is to make your own almond milk at home vs having to purchase it from the store. On top of the fact that it is SO much healthier and free of the chemicals, sugars and preservatives that are put into those you buy!What you need:Strong blender (I have my vitamix that I am obsessed with)Cheesecloth or nut bags (you can order these online or even find in your local grocery store)Raw almonds (organic and unpasteurized if possible)Filtered water (I use Fiji if I need to use bottled)How to make:Take 1 cup of Almonds and soak overnight in water Next day you can drain the water and place the soaked almonds in the blender with 3-4 cups of new water (3 if you want thicker, 4 if you want it a little thinner)Now take a bowl and place a piece of cheesecloth over it and then start to pour the blended almond milk into it, letting it strain the milk. Pull the cheesecloth up and squeeze it in order to get the most juice you can from the almonds before discarding. Once the milk is drained add it to a jar and store for up to 3 days!Being this is a few steps and almonds could be expensive, we do not make it everyday.. I make it once or twice a month to use in breakfast or meal replacement smoothies! However I feel better knowing what ingredients I am taking in and there’s nothing better than making it yourself!Enjoy!Xo,Lisa
