Almond milk

Almond milk seems to be the new thing and I was curious to see how it is to make it yourself since it seems like the ones you buy in the store have a lot of unnecessary ingredients in them. So I found a recipe on paleoaustralia.com and it was really easy to make.

Ingredients
250 g natural almonds
1 l cold water
2 pitted dates
1 tsp vanilla extract

Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until it becomes creamy. Strain through a sieve and transfer to an airtight bottle or container so that it'll keep in the fridge. Lasts for about 4 days.










After straining it you get left with some wet almond meal so I decided to make a smoothie with this and banana, a shot of coffee, some of the almond milk and ice. I just put it all in the blender until mixed thoroughly. Decorate with some cocoa powder and almonds.
