Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened protein powder (preferably plant-based)
- 2 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds into a bowl and cover with water. Allow the almonds to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the soaked almonds, 4 cups of water, vanilla extract, unsweetened protein powder, and pitted Medjool dates.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes or until smooth and the almonds are finely ground.
Step 5
Using a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the almond milk into a large bowl or pitcher, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
Step 6
Discard the almond pulp (or save it for another use such as in baking or smoothies).
Step 7
Add the ice cubes to the almond milk and stir well to chill and integrate all the flavors.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
