How to Make Fresh Almond Milk

Almond milk can be found at your local health store or nowadays, even at most regular grocery stores. But there is nothing quite as delicious as freshly made, completely raw and live, and preservative-free nut milk made in your own blender.

It’s kind of magical the first time you see the process of milk being made from nuts. Milk from nuts… wild, right?! You may not have time to make your own almond milk every single week, but once you get into the habit of remembering to throw almonds into a bowl of water overnight, you might just end up making it more often then you think.

I mention a nut milk bag (yeah I know, not exactly an every day household kitchen item) in the video, but if you can’t find it don’t worry, just use a cheese cloth.

These nut milks can be enjoyed on their own, or used as a base in smoothies such as the Rainforest Acai Smoothie, Happy Cow Dairy-Free Hot Chocolate or Delish Squash Bisque.
