Recipe of the week: Almond Milk!
It’s cheaper and healthier than what you can find in any store and it is EASY.
Ingredients
– 1 cup raw almonds
– 1 liter container (preferably glass)
– about 7 cups filtered water
– cheese cloth (or similar straining material)
– 1 Tbs. Agave Nectar
– 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
– A few shakes of cinnamon
Directions
– Soak almonds in 3 cups filtered water overnight in liter container.
– Drain & Rinse well
– Rinse container because you will need it again
– Blend Almonds, agave nectar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and 3.5 cups water until as smooth as possible (my ninja takes about 5 min)
– Strain with Cheese cloth into liter container. Done!
PS. Pulp from the straining is quite tasty in Shakeology and oatmeal.
***The beauty of making your own (besides not having to deal with artificial ingredients and crazy amounts of sugar) is you can flavor it any way you like! You can use dates, chocolate, pecans, go plain… anything you can think of.***
