Homemade Almond Milk

I just made homemade almond milk. Oh my goodness. I feel like I should be getting started on churning  butter next! Haha just kidding. It was fairly tasty though and I thought I would share the recipe here.  Why did I go through all the trouble of making it myself you might ask? Well, this article explains it best, but basically there are things in the store brand almond milks that are not paleo and not necessarily good for you. Almond milk is nice to have to make things like paleo milkshakes if you want a slightly different taste than what you get when you use coconut milk. Ice creams, milkshakes and yogurts are some of my FAVORITE sweets so I like to have some recipes I can turn to when I am craving them.

As it explains in the recipe, the almond pulp that is left over can be used as almond butter or almond flour. These can be used in paleo tortillas, cookies and other foods that might normally require flour. Basically, the recipe is a win-win. Try it!
