Homemade Almond Milk

I recently became interested in almond milk when I had tried it incorporated into a smoothie.  It provided a creamy yet slightly nutty taste that really enhanced my snack between meals.  About six months ago, my fiancé decided to invest in the powerful Vitamix - the dynamo of a blender that can purée/ liquify just about anything in a moments time and let me tell you we have gotten a lot of use out of it from healthy green juices to silky soups.  One recipe that I wanted to try was homemade almond milk, which turns out to be so easy and less expensive then the store-bought counterpart not to mention much tastier.  Continue for more...


A Few Things: I didn't add any extra sweetener as I found the addition of the vanilla provided just a hint of 
aromatic sweetness, but if you prefer to have your milk a bit sweeter, feel free to add honey or agave to your liking.

  2. Wow this is ambitious. We have a new cuisnart mixer not quite as powerful as vitamix but pretty good. I just may have to try this.
