Many almond milk brands do not compare in quality to the homemade version. Some use too much sweetener, making it unsuitable for diabetics, while others fortify their milk with vitamins to fit into nutritional guidelines that they can market as "more nutritious."
The simple fact is that there is nothing quite like FRESH, organic, wholesome nut milk recipes you squeeze yourself in a nut milk bag. Its the raw vegan way of "milking a cow".
Almond milk is a much better alternative than pasteurized cow's milk, especially if you are using it on a regular basis. Many people are lactose intolerant and do not digest the milk intended for baby calf's. Not only that, cow's milk it loaded with calories! So, almond milk is ideal if you are wanting to reduce weight. And best of all, the texture is very close to that of traditional milk.
One of the benefits to almond milk is in the almonds themselves!
First off, almonds are one of the most alkaline nuts out of all the nuts and seeds. I remember using them on the Body Ecology Diet many years ago because they do not promote candida overgrowth like other, more acidic, nuts.
Additionally, they are also high in calcium and are a rich source of vitamin E, phosphorous, iron and magnesium. Almonds also contain folic acid, good for pregnant mothers, in addition to being particularly valuable as nourishment for the bone structure of the body, and especially for strengthening the enamel of the teeth.
Almonds also contain zinc, selenium, copper, niacin, and Riboflavin.

We don't go through the unnecessary steps of blanching the almonds, because we strain the pulp through a nut milk bag. Also, you want to blend the skin into the milk before you strain it, to unlock the flavonoids. This still, however, creates a nice smooth, silky white milk!
Add the remaining ingredients into your almond milk and blend well. Store your homemade almond milk in the fridge, it will last 4-6 days in an air tight jar.

Make Sure Your Almonds Are Raw!
We recommend you use RAW almonds when making your almond milk, this provides greater nutrition and ensures the valuable raw enzymes and raw fats are still intact.
Because of a new law passed several years ago, which requires sellers to pasteurize their almonds sold on the market, many almonds are advertised as "raw" under "legal definitions" of the word, but are heated.
However, there are certain loopholes that allow some almond growers to sell them TRULY Raw and unpasteurized.
