Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Monk fruit sweetener or stevia
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak overnight, or at least for 8 hours. This step softens the almonds and enhances their blendability.
Step 2
Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the soaked almonds with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Using a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the almond milk into a large bowl, separating the liquid from the almond pulp. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Reserve the almond pulp for other recipes if desired.
Step 5
Rinse the blender and pour the strained almond milk back into it.
Step 6
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, monk fruit sweetener or stevia, and cinnamon powder (if using) to the almond milk in the blender.
Step 7
Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the chocolate milk is smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa level if needed, blending again to combine.
Step 9
Pour the almond chocolate milk into a pitcher or bottle and store in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your healthy, sugar-free almond chocolate milk!
