Homemade almond milk contains only 2 essential ingredients: organic almonds and filtered water.

After making it for yourself and realising how easy it is, how fresh and delicious it tastes and how much money you save, there really is no turning back! Making your own almond milk also allows versatility of adding favourite sweeteners and flavours, such as dates, vanilla, cinnamon or cacao, and it is very economical.

Why make almond milk yourself?

Making fresh almond milk is an example of creating a food close to the source with minimal processing and therefore retaining maximum number of natural nutrients derived from the almonds themselves.  Commercial brands, even organic, are  highly processed and stored in aseptic cartons, depleting nutrients which are then replaced by adding synthetic vitamins  (which may even be harmful).  Some also contain sugar, sweeteners, oils, preservatives and/or gums.

Homemade almond milk is plentiful with vitamins, including antioxidant vitamin E;  minerals, including calcium; essential fatty acids and protein.  Soaking almonds, as required for making almond milk, increases the digestibility and bioavailability of these nutrients.
