Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 units pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. This softens the almonds, making them easier to blend and produce a creamier milk.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly using a strainer.
Step 3
Transfer the almonds into a high-speed blender. Add 4 cups of fresh water to the blender.
Step 4
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, pitted dates, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.
Step 5
Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Step 6
Place a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
Step 7
Pour the blended almond chocolate mixture through the nut milk bag or strainer. Squeeze and press as much liquid as possible out from the almond pulp. Discard or save the almond pulp for another recipe.
Step 8
Transfer the strained Almond Chocolate Milk into a clean airtight container or bottle.
Step 9
Refrigerate before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before each use. Serve chilled or over ice.
Step 10
Enjoy your Paleo Homemade Almond Chocolate Milk within 3-4 days for best freshness.
