Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Monk fruit sweetener or stevia
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon powder (optional)
Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak overnight, or at least for 8 hours. This step softens the almonds and enhances their blendability.
Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
In a blender, combine the soaked almonds with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes.
Using a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the almond milk into a large bowl, separating the liquid from the almond pulp. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Reserve the almond pulp for other recipes if desired.
Rinse the blender and pour the strained almond milk back into it.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, monk fruit sweetener or stevia, and cinnamon powder (if using) to the almond milk in the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the chocolate milk is smooth, about 1 minute.
Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa level if needed, blending again to combine.
Pour the almond chocolate milk into a pitcher or bottle and store in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
Serve chilled and enjoy your healthy, sugar-free almond chocolate milk!
