Vitamix Almond Milk

5 from 2 votes

This Vitamix almond milk is made with raw almonds, Medjool dates, salt, water, and vanilla extract. It's dairy-free, creamy, and smooth.

Servings:

Soak the almonds in water overnight (or for 3 hours prior) if possible. Discard water.
Add the dates, almonds, and half of the water into the Vitamix blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds.
Add the remaining water and a pinch of salt. Optional to add vanilla extract, nutmeg, and/or cinnamon if desired. Blend on high for 1 minute.
Strain with a cotton cloth fabric. Pour into an airtight carafe.

Ingredient Notes:
- Almonds: I recommend using plain raw almonds.
- Dates: I recommend sweetening the almond milk with dates, however, you can also use honey and agave nectar. My preference for dates is Sukari dates because they are very soft and extremely sweet, but Medjool dates work also. If you find that your dates are tough and dry, you can soak them in water for an hour to soften up a bit.
- Salt: You need just a pinch to balance things out.
- Optional: You can add some cinnamon, vanilla, or nutmeg if you would like to vary things up!
Optional to substitute agave or honey in lieu of dates.
My favorite blender is a Vitamix blender.
Storage: Store almond milk in a container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. The almond milk may separate, so shake before use. Freeze almond milk in a freezer-friendly container for up to 6 months.
