Unlike dairy milk, almond milk contains neither cholesterol nor lactose. Because it does not contain any animal products, almond milk is a great dairy alternative for vegans and vegetarians.

Product Needed
Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, assembled with the juicing strainer.
Directions
- Add almonds, dates, and water to a large bowl. Cover with water. Place in the refrigerator to soak overnight or at least 8 hours.
- Drain the almonds. Close the juicer's smart cap.
- Add a small portion of the almonds to the slow juicer. Then, add an equal amount of water. Continue alternating between almonds and water, small equal-sized portions at a time. Also, add dates and vanilla bean powder. Work slowly to give the juicer enough time to process the nuts.
- Open the smart cap to release the almond milk. If desired, strain the milk for a thinner texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 72 hours.
Tip
You can also add cocoa powder, honey, or maple syrup to flavor your almond milk.
