So much creamier than any of the store bought kinds I have tasted.Īs much as I (thought I) loved the my store bought almond milk I never could drink it on it’s own, I would use it in coffee or to make smoothies but never just a glass of straight up almond milk you know?!īut this homemade vanilla almond milk I can’t stop drinking! Just as it is, it’s just that good! Honestly could not believe how creamy this homemade almond milk is! Hopefully you find them more helpful than disturbing. I know they aren’t the prettiest of photo’s but I wanted to add them in so you know what you’re working with. This is what it looks like once you’ve blended it but before you’ve strained off the residual almond pulp which you can turn into deliciously versatile almond meal – I included the how-to’s on that in the recipe section FYI 😉 Īlthough looking at it now it kind of reminds me of melted soft serve ice cream which is incredibly delicious but again, not very pretty, anyway, Now, I realize that it doesn’t look that delicious at this point. So did I mention that I think it’s delicious?! It’s really is so incredibly delicious that to say it’s delicious doesn’t even come close to describing how insanely delicious it really is?! Lastly we need to add our vanilla which is as simple as giving your blender a quick rinse, then pour your strained almond milk back into the jug, add a splash of vanilla, give it quick blitz just to combine and you’re done! The next thing you do is pour your blended almonds into a piece of muslin cloth or a nut milk bag to separate the residual almond pulp from your creamy, dreamy almond milk. That way when you drag yourself reluctantly crawl jump out of bed in the morning all you have to do it drain and rinse your almonds, pop them in your blender with a little water, blendy, mcblend and you’re pretty much done. Then you can just set them aside and let them do their thang while you sleep. The hardest part about making your own almond milk is waiting for the almonds to finish soaking, which isn’t really hard at all especially if you pop them in to soak as you’re getting dinner ready. Once you have gathered up your ingredients you’re already half way there! Seriously, now that I know how easy it is I’m kicking myself for not making it sooner!Īll you need is just 3 ingredients that I bet you have on hand already – Almonds, water and vanilla. Homemade almond milk is a total game changer!

I’m talking so much better that it doesn’t even really compare.

Making your own almond milk sounds kinda hard so why would I bother when I can just buy it at the store right?!

Last year, animal-rights group Animal Recovery Mission (ARM) released shocking footage gathered during its year-long investigation that showed employees at Fair Oaks Farms-which advertises itself as a “humane” dairy producer-brutally abusing baby calves prompting supermarkets, including Kroger, to pull Fairlife products from shelves. The Simply Almond line-which retails for $3.99 per 46-ounce bottle-is the brand’s first plant-based milk product line to launch in North America.Ĭoca-Cola’s move into vegan milk comes on the heels of an undercover investigation at Fair Oaks Farms, which produces dairy milk under the Fairlife brand which is distributed by The Coca-Cola Company.
