Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 scoops Plant-based protein powder
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. This helps soften them, making them easier to blend and increases the creaminess of the milk.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds under cold water.
Step 3
Add the soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh water to a high-speed blender.
Step 4
Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Using a nut milk bag or a fine cheesecloth, strain the almond milk into a large bowl, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover almond pulp or save it for another use, like baking or smoothies.
Step 6
Pour the freshly made almond milk back into the blender. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and plant-based protein powder.
Step 7
Blend the ingredients on medium speed until fully combined and the milk is frothy.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the sweetness or chocolate flavor if necessary, by adding more maple syrup or cocoa powder to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the almond chocolate milk to a sealable bottle or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Shake well before serving. Enjoy it chilled as a refreshing drink, or heat it gently for a warm treat.
