Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon stevia
Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight for at least 8 hours to soften.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked almonds with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes until the almonds are thoroughly broken down and the mixture turns milky white.
Place a nut milk bag or a clean cheesecloth over a large bowl, and pour the blended almond mixture through it to strain out the pulp.
Squeeze the bag or cheesecloth tightly to extract as much liquid as possible, leaving behind the almond pulp, which can be reserved for use in baking or other recipes.
Return the strained almond milk to the blender and add the unflavored protein powder, vanilla extract, salt, and stevia. Blend for another minute until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the almond protein milk into a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use. It will keep for up to 4 days.
