Almond milk, when made fresh, is worlds apart from the store-bought variety. Creamy, subtly sweet, and free from unnecessary additives, this homemade version is as simple as it is delicious. With just a handful of ingredients, you get a rich, smooth plant-based milk that’s perfect for porridge, smoothies, or even on its own!

Soaking the almonds before blending activates them, which helps to break down phytic acid—an anti-nutrient that can hinder the absorption of minerals like iron and zinc. This process also enhances digestion by making the almonds’ nutrients more bioavailable and easier for your body to absorb.

Make the Homemade Almond Milk

Soak the Almonds

Place the almonds in a bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. This softens them for blending and helps activate beneficial enzymes.

Blend Everything Together

Drain and rinse the soaked almonds, then add them to a blender with fresh water (fill to the 2L line on the blender), salt, dates, and vanilla powder. Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds until smooth.

Strain the Milk

Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag (or a fine cheesecloth) over a bowl. Squeeze well to extract all the liquid.

Store and Enjoy

Transfer your fresh almond milk to a glass bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or stir well before use, as natural separation will occur.
