If you’ve never made almond milk from scratch, you’re in for a treat. Store-bought options are convenient, sure—but once you taste fresh, homemade almond milk, there’s no going back. It’s smooth, subtly nutty, and endlessly versatile.
What makes almond milk so special? It starts with the almonds themselves—nutrient-dense powerhouses full of protein, healthy fats, magnesium, and vitamin E. When blended with water, they transform into a creamy, naturally sweet milk that’s free from the additives, gums, and preservatives often found in commercial brands. Almonds have a mellow richness and just enough natural sweetness to feel indulgent without being overpowering.
There’s something deeply satisfying about creating your own plant-based milk from just two simple ingredients. It puts you in control of the flavor, consistency, and nutrition. Want it thicker? Add fewer cups of water. Sweeter? Toss in a date or two. Looking for a hint of vanilla or cinnamon? Go for it.
This recipe is as clean and natural as it gets: just almonds and water. And beyond the milk itself, there’s the bonus of almond pulp—a nutrient-rich byproduct that you can repurpose in baking, smoothies, or even skincare. It’s a full-circle experience, and one that reflects a commitment to health, sustainability, and simplicity.
Whether you’re blending it up for your morning coffee, pouring it over a crunchy granola bowl, or using it to lighten up your favorite smoothie, this almond milk delivers creamy, wholesome goodness every single time.
Ingredients
- 150g almonds (unsalted, roasted)
- 1 bowl water (for soaking, optional)
- ~3 ½ cups water (for blending)
Optional: Add a pinch of salt, a date for sweetness, or a drop of vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
Let’s Get Blending
Step 1: Prep the Almonds
If you have time, soak your almonds in a bowl of water for 6–8 hours or overnight. This softens them and makes blending easier, yielding a smoother milk. But if you’re short on time, Nutrify handles unsoaked almonds like a champ.
Step 2: Load the Nutrify
Add your almonds and fresh water (about 3 ½ cups) to the main container. Make sure not to exceed the COLD MAX line—1000 ml. Nutrify’s built-in measurement makes it easy to keep things safe and spill-free.
Step 3: Lock It In
Place the lid on top, align the arrows, and twist until you hear the click. Plug in the power cord and you’re ready to go.
Step 4: Select Cold Mode
Press the Mode Selection button until the “Cold” mode icon flashes. This mode uses high-speed blending without heat to preserve the almonds’ fresh, natural taste and nutrients.
Step 5: Let Nutrify Work Its Magic
Press Start. In just about 3 minutes, Nutrify will break down the almonds into a rich, milky blend. It’s fast, powerful, and designed for optimal texture.
Step 6: Strain and Chill
Once the machine beeps three times and the Cold mode light flashes, you’re done. Unplug the unit, open the lid, and strain the almond milk using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Transfer to a bottle or jar and refrigerate.
