Creamy, 3 ingredient homemade almond milk that is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and has no added sugar. I always thought that making almond milk would be an overwhelming process, but it’s actually really simple! Also, it’s super healthy. Almonds are a great source of magnesium, protein and fiber.

Notes
Once you strain the homemade almond milk, you will be left with almond pulp in your nut milk bag The equipment section contains affiliate links to products that I know and love.. The almond pulp makes a great additional ingredient to almost any vegan cookie or cake recipe. If you’re not in a baking mood, feed it to your dog! I usually just refrigerate the pulp and mix a few scoops in my pup’s food every meal until it’s gone. She loves it!
Also, many recipes will recommend peeling the almonds after they are soaked. I’m not sure who has time for that though..
