I was craving almond milk and had 15 minutes until I had to head out the door today. Hmmm, what to do? I had a jar of raw almond butter and fresh coconut water in the fridge, so I gave it a go. It worked! And I still had 10 minutes to spare—just enough time to take some quick pics.
I bet you could add a spoonful of cacao powder, fresh berries, banana or a pinch of cinnamon, for a tasty whole food treat, too. This recipe is naturally sweet from the coconut water, but if you would like it sweeter, blend in a date or two, or add some raw, wild-harvested honey, maple syrup or agave nectar. Use almond extract instead of vanilla. Add some ice cubes for a frostier version. Try this recipe with hazelnut butter or cashew butter. Infinite possibilities.
Makes: 5 cups
Time: 5 minutes
Tools:
Blender
Ingredients:
3 tbsp raw almond butter
5 cups fresh coconut water (can substitute pure water, but you may want to sweeten per suggestions above)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or seeds from one organic vanilla bean, either is optional…choose gluten-free extract if you have a sensitivity)
Pinch sea salt
Let’s get started.
Place all ingredients in the blender and mix well. Pour into a fun glass and enjoy.
Store remaining almond milk in the fridge. It may separate, just stir it up before drinking.
