Homemade Almond Milk only lasts a few days in the fridge, so make sure you only make what you think you'll consume. The process of making almond milk is quick & simple, so making it on a regular basis shouldn't be a problem.

Preparing your Almond Milk

Fill a medium sized glass jar 1/2 full with raw organic almonds and fill to the top with filtered water. Leave this for 6 - 8 hours. I usually leave mine for 24 hours as i find the almonds become more plump and easier to grind making my milk smooth and creamy.

Making your Almond milk

Drain and rinse the almonds, they should feel plump and squishy. Wash well with cold water.

Combine the almonds and 2 cups of water into a blender and blend at the highest speed for 2 minutes.

Using a strainer pour milk into a large bowl. 

Use a wooden spoon to help sift the milk through.

Make sure you really squeeze the milk from the almond meal, get dirty and use your hands.

Taste your almond milk, use sweeteners if you'd like. E.G. agave syrup, honey, raw sugar or maple syrup. 

For a healthier alternative, leave one organic vanilla bean in your almond milk jar, this adds a little sweetness to your milk minus the calories.

Store your almond milk in sealed jars and refrigerate. 

Note - Keep the Almond Meal for fresh smoothies & cereal toppings. 

Also be sure to freeze the almond meal in bags and use for future creative baking. YUM.

Ingredients
2 cups Raw organic Oats
1 cup Goji Berries
4 Medjool Dates
1 cup Mixed Berries - Blackberries & Raspberries
Handful each:
Cashews
Almonds
Walnuts
Sunflower Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
2 Tbsp Black Chai Seeds
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil - Melt with boiling water

Firstly start by pitting the dates, place these with nuts into a blender until the mixture is at a thick crunchy consistency. If a blender doesn't exist in your kitchen, don't threat. My mother always taught me to place your ingredients on a chopping board with cling wrap over the top and to bang away with a hammer. Works like a treat.

Next, add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, 1/2 chai seeds, oats & Goji berries. Mix.

Blend your mixed berries until runny - this will be a binder.  Pour into your mixture adding the cocount oil. Mix until sticky.

For coating - Blend the rest of oats, a handful of walnuts & cashews. Pour into a bowl with the remaining Chai seeds. Roll your mixture into balls (size of your desire) and cover gently in coating.

Feel free to use a variety of coatings eg. Coconut or Almond flakes.

Refrigerate your power snacks.

 Don't forget to bag the remaining coating for adding to smoothies & cereal toppings.
 Happy Eating. Happy Soul.
