Homemade Almond Milk (Vegan)

1/4 C. whole, raw almonds
2 C. filtered water (of 4 C. total)

1) Place together in the Vitamix. I only add 2 cups of the water at first to make less of a mess when blending.

2) Begin on low but quickly increase to highest setting.

3) Blend 1 minute.

4) Strain* with a fine mesh strainer or nut bag, if desired. (I put the nut pulp in our morning oat bowls.) 

5) Add the rest of the water and refrigerate.

6) Keeps, refrigerated, for about a week.

* NOTE: Almond milk is rich in fiber if left unstrained. If you desire a smoother product that tastes more like store-bought, however, you can strain the blended product through cheese cloth or a nut milk bag.

You can also make a delicious, flavored almond milk, by following this recipe on ohsheglows.com.
