Homemade Almond Milk + a Giveaway

One of my favorite treats to drink is smoothies, usually made with almond milk, whey protein powder, and some strawberries. It's so delicious. I usually buy unsweetened almond milk from the grocery store, but I was told it was so easy to make. I decided to try it out myself.

My thoughts: This bag was large. I was able to fit it over a wide mouth gallon jar with great ease. Each time I made almond milk, I only soaked a cup of dry almonds. The flavor of the almond milk was better compared to store bought almond milk; it had a nuttier flavor. Plus, I loved the fact that I could use the almonds collected in the bag to make almond flour! {A tutorial will come later.} Overall, I am pleased with it. Prior to getting this bag, I did not have any experience making almond milk by any other means.

Directions on how to make almond milk:

1. Soak 1 cup of amonds at least 12 hours. I soaked mine overnight.
2. After soaking, drain off the water.
3. Place almonds in a blender. Add 4-4 1/2 cups filtered water. 
4. Blend almonds and water.
5. Place best nut milk bag over jar. Pour into the Best Nut milk bag, the pulp will be separated from the milk.
6. Squeeze until most of the moisture is out.
7. Place almond milk in the fridge. Use up within 3 days. Before drinking it, you will need to shake the almond milk up.
