Chocolate Almond Milk
I took my Homemade Nut Milk recipe and made a few changes to create this quick and delicious chocolate almond milk recipe. You just add some maple syrup and unsweetened cocoa powder to get it thick and chocolatey. This milk is also so delicious frothed or steamed in your coffee. It is a great healthier alternative to your traditional cane sugar-filled chocolate milk. This is a perfect dairy-free and refined sugar-free treat!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds soaked in water overnight in the refrigerator
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch sea or Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Drain your soaked nuts and give them a few rinses with fresh water.
- Put all ingredients into a high-powered blender. Blend on low for 1 minute. Blend for an additional 2-3 minutes. The more powerful your blender the quicker it will make the milk.
- Put your cheesecloth, fine-mesh sieve, or nut milk bag over a large bowl or container. Squeeze out excess milk over your bowl or container. This can take a bit of time and strength to get all the milk squeezed out.
- Pour into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
***You can use any nuts that you like or a mixture of whatever you need to use up.
