Notes
Keep the almond pulp and dehydrate it to use as defatted almond meal in other recipes, like our Vegan Berry Smoothie, Almond Hummus, Almond Facial, and Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Soak the almonds overnight, about 12 hours, then drain the water and put the almonds in the blender.
How long do you soak the almonds?
Just made the almond milk! Did not soak obernight. Then added blueberries Yum!!
Any ideas on what to do with the almond pulp?
I just made this, and it is delicious. I got raw unsalted almonds. I added no salt or sugar. Just 4 cups of water and almonds. I’m trying to think of something to do with the nut pulp.
A friend that’s been making her own almond milk for months recently started making it from Raw Organic Almond Butter with great results. No overnight soaking necessary. I’ve tried hers and it tastes just like the overnight soak whole almonds method. It’s cheaper overall than using the whole organic almonds.
I just bought my PRECIOUS Blendtec at the Costco N.O.,LA grand opening this passed weekend. So I’ll be making my first Almond milk tonight!
