Easy Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk Recipe | Raw Vegan, Plant-based
This raw vegan nut-based beverage is perfect poured on cereal, oatmeal, smoothies, coffee, tea, and all by itself! Many people and their children today are lactose-intolerant or experience stomach upset from dairy--so going dairy-free is a wise decision for almost anyone! We are the only species that drinks another species' secretions--there is nothing necessary or natural about drinking milk! We can easily get all of the calcium, iron, and other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients we need from a vegan, whole foods plant-based diet! Many almond milk varieties in stores contain added chemicals, preservatives, and sugar, that can make it a less-than-nutritious option. Making your own nut milk at home is quick, easy, effortless, and cost-effective! A good rule of thumb is to use a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4, nuts to water, depending on how creamy or watery you'd like it to be. Feel free to add in vanilla bean powder or extract, and a touch of sweetener from sources such as soaked and blended dates or agave nectar! If you have a nut allergy, feel free to try hemp oat milk! STEPS: • Soak 1c of raw nuts overnight or 6-8 hours. • Drain and rinse soaked nuts. • Place into blender with 3-4c filtered water and blend. • Optional: also blend in 1tsp of vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract, cinnamon, and/or sweetener such as pitted dates or agave nectar. • Pour liquid through nut milk bag held over a wide bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. • Save your leftover pulp to make baked goods! • Almond Milk will keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Stir/mix/shake before serving! ------- Check out Erin's website and blog at https://www.EatMoveRest.com for more info on coaching services, as well as delicious and nutritious plant-based recipes, workouts, and rest & relaxation techniques.
