Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or any low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This helps to soften the almonds and make blending easier.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly, then add them to a blender along with 3 cups of fresh water.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the almonds are finely ground and the milk is creamy.
Use a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to strain the almond milk into a bowl. Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for another use.
Return the strained almond milk to the blender and add the unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol (or preferred sweetener), vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the ingredients are well combined and the cocoa powder is completely dissolved.
Taste and adjust the sweetness to your preference, adding more sweetener if desired.
Transfer the almond chocolate milk to a glass container and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to chill before serving.
Shake well before each use, as the ingredients may settle. Enjoy your homemade low-carb almond chocolate milk cold.
