Creamy, refreshing, and packed with wholesome goodness, this Paleo Homemade Soybean Drink is a delightful twist on traditional plant-based beverages. Crafted entirely from raw almonds instead of soybeans, it’s a paleo-approved alternative that’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups filtered water (for soaking)
- 4 cups filtered water (for blending)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place 1 cup of raw almonds in a large bowl or jar. Cover with 2 cups of filtered water, ensuring the almonds are completely submerged.
Step 2
Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften them and make blending easier. This also helps remove phytic acid which can interfere with nutrient absorption.
Step 3
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under cool water.
Step 4
Add the soaked and rinsed almonds to a high-speed blender.
Step 5
Pour in 4 cups of filtered water. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, and honey if using.
Step 6
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the almonds are pulverized and the liquid looks white and creamy.
Step 7
Set a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth over a large bowl. Carefully pour the almond mixture into the bag or sieve.
Step 8
Squeeze and press as much liquid as possible from the pulp. The almond pulp can be saved for other uses such as baking.
Step 9
Transfer the strained almond milk into a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate until chilled.
Step 10
Shake well before each use. Consume within 3-5 days for optimal freshness.
