Hi there! I used to make almond milk all the time but it ruined my blendtec wild-side jar (the inside got soooo grimy no matter how hard I scrubbed it, and eventually the jar stopped spinning and it actually began to smoke). I had to have the jar replaced. Do you have any recommendations on how to keep my jar in the best condition possible while still making almond milk/nut butters?
Drink it chunky :) your body will thank you for it :)
For tastier almond milk that’s creamier, I would increase the almonds to 2 cups. The recipe as is would be akin to skim almond milk.
This recipe works for all kind of nuts & seeds. I even mixed in sesame to increase calcium intake.
I’m drinking this right now. Delicious!
