When we buy processed products such as nut/plant milks from the store, our health takes a hit. Yes, we are doing better by not choosing dairy, however, with the amount of preservatives and unnecessary & health harming ingredients contained in these store bought plant milks, I would say that it’s criminal to be allowing these processed products on the shelves for people to consume.
I have a family member that uses Organic Almond Milk, I went through the process of reading the ingredients of every plant milk available in the store and the best one that I could find still contains preservatives, fillers & substances hidden under the word “vitamins”.
So, what am I going to do about it?
I searched up a “No Strain” Almond Milk Recipe on my Thermomix TM6 and I chose a recipe that is only 3 ingredients & much easier to make myself than it is to actually go out and buy a processed version.
The ingredients are soaked almonds, a splash of vanilla, water and a few whole dates… the beauty is that I don’t have to measure or weigh out anything because the Thermomix does it for me with its built in scale where I can just add the ingredients and the Thermomix will indicate when I’ve added enough!
The preservatives in the store bought almond milk push the shelf life of the product to 10 days on average after opening. Homemade Almond milk lasts up to 5 days in the fridge.
I think I’ll trade a shorter shelf life over the plethora of carcinogenic preservatives and fillers in the store bough version because there’s hardly an almond in the processed almond milks!
I’ve posted my video link below demonstrating just how easy it is to make your own (no strain) plant/nut milks at home, especially if you’re using the Thermomix to make them!!
I know, I know, I am working on improving my editing skills!
There’s a link posted in the comments below for my Thermomix online shop- if you would like to purchase a Thermomix through me, or if you’re thinking of becoming a Thermomix Independent Consultant yourself- we could work together! I thank you all for your support over the years.
With all the recipes that I post, I’m going to try to include a RAW VEGAN version, and a MUCUSLESS version – in addition to the Whole Food Plant version that I’ll already be sharing!
Almond milk RAW version = use raw almonds, not toasted or blanched
Almond milk MUCUSLESS version= make banana milk instead (blend dates, water, 2 bananas, keep watery)
