    Homemade Almond Milk

    Lately I’ve realized that milk doesn’t always sit right with me. And although I will always love ice cream, cheese, and buttercream frosting- I thought it would be fun to try making my own almond milk!

    This almond milk recipe is so simple and the end result is smooth and delicious!

    Almond milk- and any nut milk for that matter (yum cashew milk!) is so easy to make- the hardest part is waiting for the nuts to soak!

    Almonds Before and After Being Soaked

    How to make homemade almond milk:

    • Soak almonds overnight in water.
    • You’ll notice after they’ve soaked overnight that they will look cloudy. Rinse them off and place them in a high speed blender.
    • Add filtered water to the almonds and then blend on high for about 30 seconds- or until the liquid looks smooth.
    • Strain the almond milk through a cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.
    • Refrigerate and enjoy!

    Almond Milk in a Milk Jar Top Down Perspective

    How long does homemade almond milk stay good for?

    Consume within 3 day of making- which won’t be hard because it’s so good!

    Can you freeze almond milk?

    Yes! Simply pour into an ice cube tray, freeze and then pop them out into a ziploc baggie and keep them in the freezer. Use for iced coffee or for smoothies!

    Is it normal for almond milk to separate?

    Yep! I always give it a little shake or stir it when I take it out of the fridge to use.

    Almonds Before and After Being Blended

    What kind of blender do I recommend?

    I love using my Breville SuperQ Blender- it’s amazing and makes the smoothest smoothies, delicious soups, and even cookies. Not to mention it makes almond milk in no time.

    Other high powered blenders will work too.

    Almond Milk Being Strained

    Help!  My almond milk is taking forever to strain!

    Just be patient and do it in small batches- that’s what I do!

    Can I sweeten almond milk?

    Yes! You can add a little vanilla, your sweetener of choice and a pinch of salt befre you blend everything.
