They say about 70% of people are actually lactose intolerant! If you're one of them milk alternatives, like almond milk, have probably become your new best friend! 

Unfortunately, the vast majority of store bought almond milks contain carrageenan, which is used as a thickener! 
While it may make the consistency of the almond milk more enjoyable it is NOT great for your health! Numerous studies have shown the use of carrageenan may promote or cause inflammation in the body, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome and food allergies just to name a few!

The solution? Why not make your own?! 
In todays video I'll demonstrate how easy it is to make your own, delicious, carrageenan free almond milk! 

For todays recipe you will need:

Ingredients:

-1 cup raw organic almonds

- I used 2L filtered water. You can use 1L if you like it creamier.

-3 pitted dates (or more if you like it sweeter)

-1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt

-1 tsp vanilla extract 


Method:

1. soak your almonds in water overnight

2. Rince and drain almonds in a strainer 

3. Add almonds and the rest of the ingredients to your vitamin or high speed, high powered blender. Blend for approx. 2 minutes

4. Hold your nut milking bag over a big bowl and dump half of the batch of almond milk into your nut bag.

5. Squeeze or "milk" until all of the liquid is in your bowl.

6. Pour the remained of almond milk into your nut bag and repeat the process!

7. Dump the left over almond pulp into a bowl.
