Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk - Food Photography

Hey everyone! How‘s it going? :)

I made my own almond milk recently because I’m tired of spending so much muuulah on store bought almond milk, which by the way has way too many ingredients that are unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, and frankly it’s much easier whenever I’m out of milk, just whip up a new batch. No wasting time driving to the store! Boo-yeah! I figured it would be helpful to those who do not know how to make almond milk (or any type of plant milk) at home, so I’m sharing how I did it! 

So basically there are TONS of options for plant milks in store and homemade, and SO many different ways you can make each one. The options literally overwhelm me sometimes! There’s all kinds of nut milks, oat milk, pea milk, rice milk, hemp milk, and not to mention all the flavors you can add to each one!

I kept this recipe simple but it’s relatively the same method when it comes to any plant milk. I really love oat milk for my smoothies and since I have an abundance of oats I’m going to be making that next, but today is almonds! Are you ready for the recipe?
