Best Homemade Cashew And Almond Milk Recipes

ALMOND OR CASHEW MILK

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
• Select Variable 1.
• Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
• Blend for 45 seconds or until desired consistency is reached.
• Store in refrigerator. Shake well before using.
• If you desire to strain away sediment, place a fine mesh sieve or filtration bag over a large bowl. Pour almond milk slowly into sieve and allow to filter through, or stir the milk in the sieve with a spatula to encourage it to pass through more rapidly. Do not strain if using cashews.
• *Note: Almond Milk is high in fiber only if it's not strained.
