Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 4 cups Filtered water
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the raw almonds in water. Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water, leaving them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will soften the almonds and make them easier to blend.

Step 2

After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly with cold water.

Step 3

Place the almonds into a high-speed blender. Add 4 cups of filtered water to the blender along with the unsweetened vanilla protein powder.

Step 4

Add vanilla extract, sea salt, and stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener to the blender.

Step 5

Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The goal is to pulverize the almonds into a fine pulp.

Step 6

Prepare a nut milk bag or a piece of cheesecloth over a bowl or large jug. Pour the blended almond mixture into the bag or cloth to strain out the almond pulp.

Step 7

Gently squeeze and press out as much liquid as possible. The remaining liquid is your almond protein milk.

Step 8

Pour the almond protein milk into a clean bottle or jug and refrigerate. Shake well before each use as separation may occur naturally.

Step 9

Store the almond protein milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy it as a refreshing drink, in smoothies, or as a replacement for dairy milk in recipes.
