Recently I shared 5 Tasty and Healthy Milk Alternatives, and of course, I had to give a healthy shout-out to almond milk since it’s a delicious, nutritional powerhouse that can do wonders for the health of our hair, skin, and even our eyes. Not to mention, unsweetened almond milk clocks in around 30 calories per serving– which is excellent news if you’re looking to lose weight! Now when it comes to almond milk you can go the usual route and run down to the local market to grab a couple of containers. Or, you can be a bit more of a healthy living rockstar and experience the sheer joy of making your own almond milk – which is actually pretty easy to do and quite economical!
Here’s a simple, 4 step recipe for making your very own, fresh almond milk:
