Homemade almond milk has unbelievable flavor when compared to the boxed varieties. If you are on the fence about taking a few minutes to make your own fresh nut or seed milks at home check out all the benefits:
- fresher, more creamy taste
- you can flavor the milk any way you like (vanilla, cacao, fresh berries, or maca for a malted taste)
- you have almond pulp left over (to use for raw, vegan desserts that will blow your mind!)
- generate less waste with no milk cartons or boxes
- hands on, connected feeling to your food
- if you include kids, connected time in the kitchen with little ones
- less waist
