How to make homemade Almond Milk (creamy, fresh and delicious)

Are you searching for a healthy, delicious, and nutty almond milk recipe you can make at home? Unlike many supermarket almond milks filled with preservatives, oils, and unnecessary fillers, this homemade almond milk is made with real, whole ingredients and absolutely no nasties.

Using the Plantmilk’r – Nut, Oat & Soy Milk Maker, you can enjoy fresh, creamy almond milk straight from your kitchen—no soaking required and no additives. Whether you’re dairy-free, vegan, or simply trying to make more health-conscious choices, this recipe is a must-try!

 

Why Make Almond Milk at Home?

Store-bought almond milk may be convenient, but it often contains just 2% almonds and a lot of ingredients you don’t need—like gums, emulsifiers, oils, and synthetic vitamins. Making almond milk at home means:

More almonds per serve
No additives or preservatives
Better flavor and texture
Customizable to your taste
More sustainable and cost-effective

When you use the Plantmilk’r nut milk maker, you don’t even need to soak the almonds beforehand. Its powerful blending and heating functions do the hard work for you.

FAQs About Homemade Almond Milk

Do I need to soak the almonds?

Not with the Plantmilk’r nut milk maker machine. Its powerful motor and heat function allow you to skip soaking altogether. However, soaking is optional if you prefer a slightly softer texture or want to reduce natural phytic acid.

How long does homemade almond milk last?

Store in an airtight glass container in the fridge. It’s best consumed within 3–4 days as it contains no preservatives.

Can I use roasted almonds?

We recommend using raw almonds for a fresher, cleaner flavor. Roasted almonds may create a bitter aftertaste and reduce nutrient content.

What can I do with the leftover almond pulp?

The pulp is high in fiber and can be used in muffins, pancakes, smoothies, or even as a face scrub! You can also dehydrate it to make almond flour.

Can I make it without a date?

Yes! The date is optional. You can use other sweeteners or skip it entirely if you prefer unsweetened almond milk.
