Nut milk made with almonds is a great non-dairy, non-soy alternative and it's super healthy! Almonds are a good source of vitamin E and are about 20 percent protein, so they are also very filling..
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup almonds, soaked for 8 hours or over night
3 1/2 - 4 cups purified water
2-3 Tbsp raw honey
Pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt
1 tsp natural vanilla extract (optional)
1 tab SynthePURE Protein Powder (optional)
Directions:
Place almonds, honey, vanilla and water in a blender and blend on high speed.
Strain mixture through a nut milk bag, cheese cloth or fine sieve into a bowl.
Preparing the seeds or nuts for best nutritional value before blending:
Soaking nuts makes them easier to blend and also releases enzyme inhibitors and will make it more digestible. Most other nuts generally require 8 to 12 hours of soaking for optimal digestion. Almond is commonly used for making nut milk as it tastes great and is alkalizing. Nut milks usually keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 days. If you freeze them they can keep longer. Yummy additions include raw cacao, cinnamon or brown rice and protein powder.
