Homemade Protein Almond Milk Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups almonds
36 to 40 ounces water (about 5 cups)
1 to 2 pitted dates
1/2 serving ALOHA Vanilla Protein
Optional: vegan probiotic
Directions:
1. Place raw almonds in a bowl and fill it with water to cover almonds. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
2. Take the almonds out of the fridge and rinse them in cold water. Place in blender and add 36 to 40 ounces of water. Add one to two pitted dates for sweetness and blend on a slow speed (and gradually increase) for about a minute.
* Optional: add a scoop of vegan probiotic (number of scoops will depend on the brand – just check the label for suggestions).
3. After you blend the almonds, pour them through a hand strainer. Take the leftover and strain it through a nut milk bag. This technique will make the process a lot faster and easier!
4. Mix in the ALOHA Vanilla Protein and enjoy!

OK I had absolutely no clue you could make your own almond milk. Too often I just assume that some things have to be bought in the store prepackaged. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration.
