Almond milk amazingly easy to make!



Smoothies made with almond milk...delish!

Have just had a delicious Saturday smoothie.                                 

Ingredients: 

                     a handful of strawberries 
                     a handful of blueberries
                     2 juicy dates
                     half a banana
                     250 mls of fresh almond milk
                     ice cubes

All just blended together for about 30 seconds then enjoy!

Since I've discovered how to make almond milk I've not bought anymore overpriced sweetened supermarket almond milk. 

All you have to do is put a handful of raw almonds in a bowl covered with water(tap water is fine)  Leave this over night and the almonds  swell. Drain and rinse then place in a blender with 500mls filtered water. Blend for about a minute, then pour the milk through a sieve into a jug. 
The jug will fill very quickly with delicious creamy almond milk.

Discard the residue in the sieve.  Literally takes minutes in the kitchen, I make it while boil the kettle for my herbal tea.
This will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. I also use it on homemade granola.
