Almond milk - aka God’s glorious gift to us Vegans - is one of my favorite things to make. Why you ask? Well, for one, it’s super easy. And two, it tastes much better than the almond milk that you buy in stores – oh…and you get to make yummy cakes and cookies out of the leftover almond meal, so that’s a double awesome whammy! Plus almonds have a TON of nutritional value which you can find out more about here.

Here’s What You’ll Need: 

• 2 cups soaked almonds (preferably soaked in water overnight in the refrigerator)
• 6 cups water
• 6 dates*
• 1/2 raw vanilla bean*
• One fruit/nut bag

* Optional but WELL worth it. 

It’s Milk Time!:

• Mix all ingredients in a high speed blender for 3-5 minutes
• Slowly pour all ingredients into a fruit/nut bag over a large mixing bowl, gently squeezing out all the liquid milk. 
• Place in a cute jar, refrigerate, and enjoy!
