A delicious spiced chai milk to impress you and your non-raw friends and family.
For anyone looking for alternatives to dairy milk, you will love this recipe for fresh vanilla almond milk using soaked almonds. Soaking almonds neutralizes enzyme inhibitors and aids digestion. Enjoy it straight from the glass, on your favorite cereal and look for future recipe posts from me that use this vanilla almond milk. Raw vanilla almond milk is enzyme-rich, very hydrating and you can store it in the fridge for about 5-7days. It may separate, so shake it up before using/drinking. I tend to make a bunch on Sunday and use it throughout the week.
Feel free to experiment with this recipe. Want it less sweet? Don't use agave. Want a plain almond milk? Nix the vanilla. Add raw cacao powder for chocolate milk or fresh organic strawberries for strawberry milk. Bananas, mint...have fun.
“This is amazing. It tastes like melty ice cream” a friend once told me as they polished off two glasses. Bingo.

a sweet healthy nut milk with no added sweeteners! it's not water based, for those of you avoiding that nasty deuterium oxide ;) this "milk" is very low in saturated fat (depending on the type of nut you use), cholesterol and sodium. it's also a good source of potassium, and a VERY good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. it has a creamy white, milky consistency, with just a hint of earth. makes for an exotic substitute!
This is a rich and creamy milk that is the perfect substitute for dairy milk. The kids will love it and it is great with Grawnola. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
