Plant-based milks are easy to digest. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, they are high in vitamin B, a good source of iron and healthy fatty acids. This homemade version is also a good source of protein and fiber.

Making your own nut milks is quite easy and a great way to avoid the added ingredients found in commercial milks such as salt, thickeners, and carrageenan. Nonetheless, store bought milks are fortified in calcium, vitamin D, and B12.

Almond milk is my favorite plant-based milk. I like the rich texture; it’s fabulous in breakfast cereal, coffee, and desserts.

Moreover, almond milk soothes heartburn, and has anti-aging properties for the skin because of its high density in tocopherol (vitamin E).

    • Vitamine A

    • Vitamine B

To prepare this almond milk milk you will need… almond butter!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons creamy raw almond butter (consuming raw nut butter avoids exposure to advanced glycation end products AGE found in roasted nuts. In high doses, AGE are linked to disease and premature aging), or creamy roasted almond butter

2 cups of filtered water

Optional : 3-4 dates and a pinch of sea or Himalayan salt

Utensils

1 resealable jar or bottle (2 L capacity or more)

A good blender such as a Vitamix

Separation of the water and the almonds will occur when stored in the fridge. Shake your jar well before consuming and they will blend back together into a milky texture.

Preparation

1.     Add the nut butter, optional ingredients if desired, and the water in your blender.

2.     Mix at high speed until the liquid is smooth and creamy.

3.     Transfer your milk to your jar and store in the fridge to cool.

4.     Shake your homemade milk well before using.

Your milk will keep in the fridge for about 7 days in an airtight container.
