Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Nature's Eats Raw Almonds
  • 3-4 cups spring water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or 1 tablespoon raw agave (sweeten more or less to taste)
  • Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Soak Nature's Eats Raw Almonds for 6-8 hours prior to making Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk (optional). This will make the milk easier to digest, however you can simply blend raw almonds that have not been soaked.
  • Place Nature's Eats Raw Almonds, water, vanilla, and sweetener of your choice in a blender or high powered Vitamix machine.
  • Liquefy the ingredients by starting at low speed and gradually taking it to the highest speed. Continue to blend for 1-3 minutes or until all ingredients are completely liquefied.
  • Optional: You can run the almond milk through a nut bag to remove the almond pulp. This will make the almond milk thinner. If desired, keep the fiber in the almond milk for an added health benefit.
