Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon stevia
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight for at least 8 hours to soften.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds under cold water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked almonds with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes until the almonds are thoroughly broken down and the mixture turns milky white.
Step 4
Place a nut milk bag or a clean cheesecloth over a large bowl, and pour the blended almond mixture through it to strain out the pulp.
Step 5
Squeeze the bag or cheesecloth tightly to extract as much liquid as possible, leaving behind the almond pulp, which can be reserved for use in baking or other recipes.
Step 6
Return the strained almond milk to the blender and add the unflavored protein powder, vanilla extract, salt, and stevia. Blend for another minute until everything is well incorporated.
Step 7
Pour the almond protein milk into a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use. It will keep for up to 4 days.
