Makes around 1 litre
Add one cup of almonds to a lidded container and cover with 4 cups of water. Soak for about 8 hours, or overnight in the fridge.
Once soaked, discard water, rinse well for a couple of minutes and then add almonds & 4 cups of fresh water to a blender and whizz for about a minute.
Once blended, take some cheesecloth and cover a large jug with it. I use a strainer and line the strainer with the cheesecloth as an added support.
Pour almond milk into cheesecloth and allow to strain.
Once the milk has drained through, give the pulp a last squeeze to ensure all milk drains out. You will be left with almond pulp, which can be used in baking flapjacks, muffins, cookies or to make nut butter or just to top your oats with.
You will be left with around a litre of almond milk, which can be stored in the fridge for around 3 days.
I started this blog in 2009 to document my weight loss journey. I was wanting to get in shape for my holiday and to finally overcome my food demons once and for all.
As of June 25th 2009, I reached my goal weight after losing 50lb and 25″. However, fitness and nutrition has become such a huge part of my life that I want to keep challenging myself….
The below pictures show me before I started my weight loss journey and as I am at present. I have made such fabulous progress in a short space of time but am always looking to improve my physique further.
Though I am happy with my weight on the scale, I am seeking to change my body composition by building some more muscle and losing a little more squish. These pictures serve as a reminder of just how far I have come.

Hey lady!
As this post was a while ago now, not sure if you have since discovered what i am about to say. But Almonds when soaked in water release their enzyme inhibitors along with Tanic Acid (both of which are not great on a body). Soaked Almonds are a great move when using them in recipes, but discard the water that they have just released everything not so good for you, into. Give them a good rinse then add them to blender as usual, but instead using FRESH water.
Hope this helps
and good luck
