Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened protein powder
Directions
Step 1
Soak 1 cup of raw almonds in enough water to cover them completely. Leave them to soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours. This will soften the almonds and make them easier to blend.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 3
Place the drained almonds into a high-speed blender along with 4 cups of filtered water. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the almonds are finely ground, and the mixture becomes creamy and milky.
Step 4
Line a large bowl with a nut milk bag or a double layer of cheesecloth. Pour the almond mixture through the bag or cloth to strain. Gather the edges of the cloth or bag and squeeze tightly to extract as much milk as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for another use.
Step 5
Pour the strained almond milk back into the blender. Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened protein powder, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if using). Blend again on low for 30 seconds to combine thoroughly.
Step 6
Taste the almond protein milk and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add more vanilla extract or a pinch more salt according to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the almond protein milk to an airtight glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
