Easy Breazy, Super Lazy Homemade “Milk”

I find that straining large amounts of homemade almond milk through a nutmilk bag can be really tedious.. Not to mention the soaking and preparing in advance.. and the washing of the bag! Oof!I’m going to be honest with you, I am not that organized. And sometimes the mood strikes for a creamy treat, or for a homemade latte and the stuff in a carton just doesn’t cut it. So, here’s my trick:

I only strain as much as I am using at the moment, using a mesh tea stainer which is super easy to just rinse off. That’s usually 1/2 - 1 cup. That doesn’t mean I can’t make a large batch at once though. This is my typical ratio/recipe:

Blend for 30 seconds:

  • 3 cups water 
  • 1/2 cup dried shredded coconut 
  • 1 tbsp raw almond butter (optional; you can just use 2/3 cup coconut) 
  • Pinch of sea salt 

It  will keep in the fridge for about 3 days. I store it in a glass bottle, right out of the blender, and use my tea mesh for the small quantities I need on a regular basis. Tah-da!! This is so much tastier and easier to digest than cow’s milk. While cow’s milk has a “good reputation”, it is actually very misleading. Yes, outside the body it may be alkaline and calcium containing, but inside the body it is very acidic, mucus forming and calcium leeching. Yes, as in it pulls calcium from the bones because calcium is alkaline, and milk is acidic. It’s like magnets! So, whether you chose to consume it or not, please do not fool yourself into thinking that it’s healthy. If you want healthy, try this on for size ;)
