Finally, A Two-In-One Recipe for Homemade Almond Milk with no wasted leftovers! No second guessing.

Homemade Almond Milk Ingredients:

1 cup raw almonds, soaked for 8 hours
3 1/2 cups water, filtered
4 raw dates, pitted
1/2 tsp almond extract + 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch of salt

ninja and nut bag — You’ll need a nut bag and food processor, something like this.

Instructions: After preparing the above ingredients, all you need to do is mix the ingredients on high-speed for at least 1 minute in a food processor until smoothe. (Then, convert to a blender if you want to extract more homemade almond milk.) Use a nut bag to strain your homemade almond milk mixture into a medium sized bowl, as pictured below.

Squeeze any remaining liquid from the nut bag until most of the milk is strained into the bowl. Pour milk from the bowl, into a sealed tight bottle (like below) and store in the refrigerater for up to 5 days.

Sweet and Salty Almond Cracker Recipe:

Leftover Almond Meal from the above Homemade Almond Milk recipe
1-1/2 T Sesame Oil
1 tsp basil (for basil lovers like myself ;) )
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp sage
1/4 tsp thyme

Instructions: It doesn’t get any easier than this! Preheat your oven the 375, then mix all of the ingredients together with a spatula. Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet, and use the spatula to flatten out your cracker mix into a 1/4″ thick paste across the sheet (careful to keep the corners and edges 1/4″ thick as well). Form the paste into a nicely shaped rectangle. Once you complete this, carefully use a sharp knife to press down into the paste to create square crackers! (If you slide the knife too quickly, the almond meal may crumble!) Now they are ready to be baked for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure to pull out the dough once the edges start to brown.
