Almonds have many benefits that I outline in the post called ‘The Almighty Almond’. Almond mylk is a tasty nutritious drink that is very versatile and delicious.
Ingredients:
1 cup almonds, cashews, pecans or your favourite nut
Tiny pinch of sea salt
5 cups water (4 cups if you want it creamier)
Procedure:
- Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth
- If you do not have a high speed blender, soak the almonds overnight first
- Strain through a nut mylk bag (this is optional when using cashews)
- Add to your favourite smoothie recipe or drink as is.
- Will keep for at least 4 days refrigerated but you will need to shake it up before use
Adventurous Variations:
-add 1 vanilla bean or 1 T alcohol-free vanilla extract
-sweeten with ½ cup pitted dates or ¼ cup agave syrup or pinch of stevia
-add 3 T raw cacao powder
