Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 1 scoop Natural protein powder (paleo-approved, such as pea or hemp)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Place raw almonds in a large bowl and cover them with enough water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften.
Drain the soaking water and rinse the almonds thoroughly under running water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Strain the almond mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl. Squeeze thoroughly to extract as much liquid as possible.
Pour the freshly strained almond milk back into the clean blender. Add the natural protein powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, and honey, if desired, for added sweetness.
Blend the mixture again for about 30 seconds until all the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the Paleo Almond Protein Milk to a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Shake well before serving.
