DIY Nut Milk
Here’s a simple and fun way to make your own nut milk – whether it’s almond milk, peanut milk, cashew milk or even sunflower seed milk.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup almond, peanut, or any nut or seed butter of choice
- 4 cups water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add nut or seed butter, water, and vanilla to a blender and blend until well-mixed (~30 seconds).
Notes
• This hack works for all types of nut and seed butters: almond, peanut, cashew, pumpkin, hazelnut, sunflower, walnut… you name it, it’s delish!
• You can customize the flavor to your liking by sweetening it with a few softened pitted dates (soak for 15 minutes beforehand in hot water to soften them up). You can also add some ground cinnamon, a dash of cocoa powder, etc.
• To cut the calories, simply add more water. This will make your milk thinner and less creamy but still deliver a light nutty flavor.
• Will last in a tightly sealed jar for up to 4 days in the fridge.
• If storing in the fridge, be sure to shake it or mix it up before pouring it (some of the little nutty bits fall to the bottom).
