Homemade almond milk

Almond milk is a delicious, plant-based beverage that is becoming increasingly popular around the world. It has a smooth, nutty and slightly sweet taste that is a delight for your taste buds. Almond milk is made from almonds and water, and in our homemade variety, we use only high-quality organic almonds. Soaking, blending and then filtering the almonds creates a creamy, pure milk that is free of added sugars, preservatives and other unnecessary additives.

The word almond derives from the Latin amygdala, which refers to the almond-shaped seeds of the almond tree(Prunus dulcis). These nuts have been an important food in the Mediterranean region for thousands of years and are known for their rich nutritional value.

What nutrients are in almond milk?

Homemade almond milk contains many valuable nutrients from the almond itself. For example, it is rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that contributes to healthy skin and cell protection. It also contains healthy unsaturated fats, magnesium, calcium and a small amount of vegetable protein.

Because homemade almond milk contains no added sugars or stabilizers, it is a light and natural thirst quencher. The combination of healthy fats and vitamins makes it a perfect addition to a balanced diet.

Homemade vs. industrial almond milk

There is a distinct difference between homemade and factory-produced almond milk. Most supermarket varieties often contain few almonds (sometimes as little as 2%) and are diluted with water, sugar and thickeners.
In contrast, our homemade almond milk contains a much higher proportion of almonds, providing a fuller flavor, better nutritional value and a creamier texture, just the way it should be.

Why do we use almond milk?

We use homemade almond milk as a base in various smoothies and juices. It provides a smooth, creamy texture and gives a subtle nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with fruits, cocoa or spices.

In addition, almond milk is completely plant-based and therefore free of lactose and animal products. In short, a delicious, sustainable choice for anyone who wants to enjoy it consciously.
