Notes
If you desire to strain away sediment, place filtration bag over a large bowl. Pour almond milk slowly into filtration bag and allow to filter through, or stir the milk in the filtration bag with a spatula to encourage it to pass through more rapidly. *Note: Almond Milk is high in fiber only if it's not strained.

I finally got around to making almond milk. I made a batch in my Vitamix and one in my Kuvings juicer, and I preferred the one made in the Vitamix. Since I didn't care for the thin watery texture of the almond milk made in my Kuvings, I decided not to strain the batch that I made in the Vitamix. It was so rich and creamy! I will never buy store bought almond milk again, and I will make it in my Vitamix from now on.
Make sure you drain and rinse the almonds after soaking overnight and use fresh water when blending the almonds.

Incredibly delicious and fresh!
This recipe makes the richest, thickest and creamiest almond milk EVER!
I strained the almond pulp from the milk and dehydrated it at 95 degrees.
When dried, I grind into almond flour. Now, I'm ready for desserts and even pizza!
No waste!

ensure you drain away the water you soaked your almonds in as it will contain phytic acid which inhibits uptake of other nutrients, just add 3 cups of fresh water to the soaked almonds

Way cheaper
than buying almond milk. plus no stabilizers, just your ingredients. I add 3 dates and a dash of cinnamon and it bumps up the flavour with a touch of sweetness. yum! all natural.

Simply delicious
This is a wonderful recipe to stay healthy and being vegan I love making my own almond milk + coffee creamer!
Here is my recipe:
After making almond milk I stain it through a nut bag, then I add 1 can of coconut milk into Vitamix + strained almond milk + dates + vanilla and blend it on high for about 1min!
Easy tasty vegan creamer!

Too watery
It was really watery following the measurements. I added a little more almonds, which made it gritty. I ended up adding cashews and it made a huge difference. I think I'll just stick with cashew milk from now on.
