Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw almonds in water. Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water, leaving them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will soften the almonds and make them easier to blend.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly with cold water.
Place the almonds into a high-speed blender. Add 4 cups of filtered water to the blender along with the unsweetened vanilla protein powder.
Add vanilla extract, sea salt, and stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener to the blender.
Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The goal is to pulverize the almonds into a fine pulp.
Prepare a nut milk bag or a piece of cheesecloth over a bowl or large jug. Pour the blended almond mixture into the bag or cloth to strain out the almond pulp.
Gently squeeze and press out as much liquid as possible. The remaining liquid is your almond protein milk.
Pour the almond protein milk into a clean bottle or jug and refrigerate. Shake well before each use as separation may occur naturally.
Store the almond protein milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy it as a refreshing drink, in smoothies, or as a replacement for dairy milk in recipes.
