Almond milk, without all that additive junk (carrageenan, sugar, etc), has vast nutritional benefits. Avoid processed almonds and make sure to always buy clean/fresh food! 6 reasons to make your own: 1. It's A LOT cheaper for 1 cup of almonds and some water than it is to buy it in the carton. IT EVEN TASTES BETTER TOO! 2. It doesn't have all the additives. Have you looked at the ingredients list on a carton of almond milk? NOT GOOD! 3. Low carbohydrates which supports healthy blood sugar and heart health among several other benefits. 4. It's packed with vitamin E an antioxidant, which aids in pretty skin and regulation of vitamin A! 5. Contains B vitamins (riboflavin) as well as iron. All of which can help absorb protein for use, growth and repair. 6. Contains Calcium and Vitamin D! | Ingredients: 1 cup organic raw almonds 4 cups of filtered water 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean Process: 1. If you don't have sprouted almonds, soak almonds overnight in a mason jar in filtered water, rinse and drain before use . If you have sprouted almonds, then add to food processor and blend/chop for 1 minute 2. Add 4 cups of water to the blender/processor. Add the sea salt and vanilla and blend until puree or smooth consistency you like (personally I leave my Ninja on for a few minutes) 3. Strain the milk through a cheese cloth into a mason jar. 4. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week and enjoy it with Ginger-Almond Granola |
