Alternative Milks Made at Home
Hemp Milk
1. Blend and use within 4 days.
2. I love this milk because of how much omega-3s you get! Sugars = 4.8, Protein = 8.8 g, Fiber = 1.2 g
Almond Milk
From Oh She Glows Blog
1. Place almonds in a bowl and cover with water. It’s preferred to soak them overnight (for 8-12 hours) in the water, but you can get away with soaking for 1-2 hours in a pinch.
2. Rinse and drain the almonds and place into a blender along with filtered water, pitted dates, and chopped vanilla bean.
3. Blend on highest speed for 1 minute or so.
4. Place a nut milk bag over a large bowl and slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the bag. Gently squeeze the bottom of the bag to release the milk. This took me about 3-5 minutes to get all the milk out.
5. Rinse out blender and pour the milk back in. Add the cinnamon and pinch of sea salt and blend on low to combine.
6. Pour into a glass jar to store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

Coconut Milk

- 1 cup water

Tips:
- Most of the fat in these milks will separate if you add them to coffee. I do it anyways because a little coconut oil in your coffee is awesome!
