Hi there, it's Weston. I'm author of the outline five diets, and in today's video, we're going to be making creamy almond milk homemade delicious almond milk. So for this recipe, you just need two ingredients. We've got flaked almonds that you can use whole almonds if you want. I'm using flake downs so we've got 50 grams in here, there's gonna make a liter of almond milk. So 50 grams of almonds straight into the VitaMix, and you only need yet two ingredients so almonds and water, but to make it just a bit more creamy and a bit more flavor for you can add these extra ingredients which are optional.
So you can add a teaspoon of soil or soil less than or sunflower lesson. I prefer some flour non GMO, no. So yeah, lecithin and date, days are going to give it flavor. The lecithin is an emulsifier it's going to make it a bit more creamy emulsifying the fat the water to get a liter of water in here, a mineral water on high in the Vitamix for about a minute to two minutes and I would use a high speed blender if you've got one definitely because it's just going to make it really fine and really creamy. So why almond milk over cow's milk? Well, there's no cholesterol is no saturated fat, it's lower calorie and then about 25 calories per hundred milliliter there's got vitamin D, okay, that look creamy, creamy goodness.
It's it's Mini, which is great for your skin. It doesn't have an impact on your blood sugar. It's got B vitamins and fiber. So now we're just going to strain it. I'm using a very, very fine strainer you can use a cheese cloth, that type of thing, just to make sure that the remaining Pope of the almond isn't going into the milk. So there we have it creamy, delicious.
Almond Milk homemade. It's really cheap. You're not getting the carrageenan which is a second or which they put to some in some commercial almond milks which have been associated with gastrointestinal problems. So Yeah make it at home. It's cheaper. It's delicious.
