Non or Sweet Almond Milk In Minutes

I love to drink a cold glass of almond milk everyday with my granola or just by itself.

Equipment needed: blender, nutbag
Ingredients:
1/4 cup soaked overnight raw almonds
4 pc. soaked dates (sweet, for non sweet do not use dates)
vanilla extract (optional)
pinch of sea salt (optional)
6 to 7 cups purified water

Directions: Just blend for 30 sec. to 1min. Place a nutbag into a bowl and pour the almond milk.  Squeeze. Save the almond pulp and dehydrate and can be used in making crackers or cakes.
Refrigerate almond milk. Will last no more than 3 days.

My son, Will, loves almond milk for breakfast.
*I like my almond milk on the light side. I use 1/4 cup and soak them. After soaking you will have about 1/3 cup of almond. I use 4 pc. of dates to make the milk sweet for my son. The recipe measure is done as I intended.

Almond is pack with nutrition. One oz. of almonds has about 7.4 grams of alpha tocopherol vitamin E, and that meets 50% of RDA and 6 grams of protein per oz. It contains fiber, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, iron.

    Cool. It never occured to me that we can make our own almond milk. I've been buying it at Marc's. It's yummy.

    Take a look at your measurements on the dates and almonds Na. You've got them reversed:)

    Sorry Na . . . I just looked at my previous comment and your post and realized that the dates were 4 pieces! My brain read 4 cups!!!! I make mine with 1 cup soaked almonds to 4 cups water with 3 dates added for sweetness.
