DIY almond milk for all the goodness you want, without anything you don’t. I like having some ready-made options from the store, but I also love making my own. Liquid nutrition is a great way to get in nutrients easily, and using this almond milk as the base for your smoothie, soup, sauce etc. will give you a delicious start. Are you a practitioner?

1cupraw almondssoaked overnight in cool water (or 1-2 hours in very hot water)
5cupsfiltered waterless to thicken it, more to thin out
¼tspnatural sea salt
Optional: to sweeten it add 2 dates pitted
Instructions
Add your soaked almonds, water, salt and dates (if desired) to a high-speed blender (such as a Vita-Mixer). Blend until creamy and smooth, then run an extra 2 minutes to be sure it is well blended.
Strain using a thin clean dish towel over a mixing bowl. Lay the towel over the mixing bowl, pour over the almond milk, carefully gather the corners and lift upwards. Then squeeze until all the liquid is extracted. Compost pulp (or save for baking).
Transfer milk to a jar and refrigerate. It will keep for a few days. Shake well before drinking or using, as it tends to separate.
