My VitaMix AntiAging Easy, Luscious Almond Milk
My VitaMix Anti Aging Easy Almond milk is an understatement. It’s not only easy, but sweet and delicious to drink on its own or to use as a base for any number of smoothies, shakes, elixirs and concoctions.
It is also perfect for pouring over cereal and is a calcium rich, bio available, delicious alternative to dairy and soy.
Watch how I make it. Take action, make a batch of your own and let me know what you think. Jane.
Transcript of this video:
It’s very simple, all you have to do is start out with some raw almonds, soak them overnight, the next day drain off all that brown water, we don’t want that and rinse and wash the almonds really well before you get started. Then measure out 1 cup of the soaked almonds and add those to the VitaMix.
You also want to add to the VitaMix 3 cups of pure water. I have already added 3 cups of water to the VitaMix and now am adding the 1 cup of already soaked almonds. It takes about a minute on high speed to blend this into a smooth, silky, creamy white liquid. So let’s get going, I’m going to time it for you. (Blending.)
I just timed that, it was 45 seconds. And this is what you end up with, I hope you can see this. Now we are going to strain it. Simply pour your blended almond milk into the juice bag. Go ahead, get it all out, you don’t want to miss any of the goodness.
Draw up on the string, which closes the juice bag, and squeeze. You will really be surprised at how much liquid and how little waste is in this liquid. I’ve juiced many ways, and this method really works. You know how almonds smell a little bit like cherries? That cherry aroma is wafting up from the bowl and it is wonderful.
Squeeze and wring like you’re doing the laundry. This wonderful substitute to dairy and soy is full of calcium, almonds have a lot of bio available calcium in them and it doesn’t matter what age you are at,we need it – infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, baby boomers.
Look, that’s how little almond pulp is left. You can save that and use it in other concoctions, which we will get to another day. Now I want you to rinse out your blender and get all the almond pulp residue out of it. Then we are going to pour our pure almond milk back into the blender.
You only have to go to this step if you want to flavor your almond milk. You can drink the almond milk just as it is, the flavor is so pure. If you’re using it to pour over sweet cereals or with other sweet foods, you don’t need to flavor it, it’s delicious just as it is.
But, I want to go overboard a little bit and make it truly a drink all on its own and to be able to use it as a base for other shakes and smoothies. So I’ve got the almond milk in the blender and back on the blender base. Add to it 1/2 cup of my Nectar of the Gods Sweetener, those are the soaked dates.
So, I have flavored the almond milk with the NOG and am now adding a tablespoon of vanilla and a couple shakes of cinnamon. Now, we’re going to mix that up. I’m going to start it on low because I don’t want it to blow all over the blender, then I’ll walk it up a little bit, it only takes a few seconds to mix this up. It smells luscious.
Finally, we get to drink it. I mean I get to drink it
Worth the effort. Truly delicious. You have to try this. Cheers. It’s wonderful. It’s luscious and sweet.
The way I store this is I pour it into a jar, put it into the refrigerator and it can stay nice and cold for a few days and then I have it as a base to pour over cereals and to use in smoothies, shakes, concoctions, elixirs or any delicious thing I can come up with.

[..YouTube..] whats the reason for soaking almonds overnight?
[..YouTube..] There are many reasons but the main one is because the soaking removes the toxic enzyme inhibitors in the brown skins and releases the enzymes to do their work, including making the almonds easier to digest.
[..YouTube..] I still have not made almond milk with my Vitamix! This really made me want to, I think I’ll go put my almonds on to soak right now. Thanks Jane!
[..YouTube..] @deadwillwalk77 You’re welcome. Once you go through the process, it becomes automatic and easy to do. Let me know how it turns out. Jane.
[...] My VitaMix AntiAging Easy, Luscious Almond Milk [...]
[..YouTube..] Hi Jane, Thank you for sharing the wonderful information you do. Not all almonds are truly raw. Raw hazelnuts/filberts are easy to find and can also be used to make non-dairy “mylk.” Just as with almonds, these nuts should be soaked in advance. As you say in your videos, it is better to start somewhere. Using not truly raw almonds for a nut mylk is far better than using animal milk. Keep your videos coming!
[..YouTube..] @ferretkungfu hi ferretkungfu,Right you are. I’m thinking of doing a video on almonds – showing the truly raw from Italy, the steam pasteurized from California labeled raw, etc. How they sprout or don’t sprout, we’ll see. I have many videos to do on my list! Thanks for weighing in, I love hearing from the people who are watching and it’s how I learn and know what you want. Jane.

[..YouTube..] Thank you for the video Jane, I will probably use the plain almond milk and the one with added NOG.
[..YouTube..] @2010CLBS You’re welcome.I like it plain, too, but always succumb to adding the NOG cuz it’s so darn tasty! Especially when I am putting it over my homemade buckwheat granola, which makes the best cereal. I make it in the dehydrator. It’s on my list of videos, and I hope to get to it before too long. Let me know when you make the almond milk and how it turns out. Jane.
[..YouTube..] So glad I found you and your quick and easy ideas. I am so new to this but am really excited about this new adventure. How many days can you leave this milk in the refrigerator before using? Thanks (My almonds are soaking)
[..YouTube..] @evedust Congrats on taking action and making your own nut milk. I would think you will get 3 days in the refrigerator.Once I make it I use it up fast because it’s so good and I enjoy it so much! I really enjoy it poured over my sprouted buckwheat cereal and in many smoothies. I don’t think it’s ever lasted longer than 2 days, but it’s still so fresh at 2 days that I don’t see why you can’t get a third day out of it.Let me know how your experience goes and what you made with it. Jane.
Hi Jane, could you share your recipe for your sprouted buckwheat cereal? Thank you.
Hi Anna,
I modified the fabulous BUCKIES recipe on page 176 from Jeremy Saffron’s book The Raw Truth, The Art Of Preparing Living Foods – available in SHOP BIMI in the menu bar, to which I added 1/2 cup dried, shredded coconut, 1 tsp sea salt and 1 TBS cinnamon:
2 cups date, soaked until soft
2 cups water
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups sprouted buckwheat
Mix and massage thoroughly in a bowl until well combined. Spread on dehydrator sheets 1/4″ – 1/2″ thickness – make sure to use parchment paper (not wax paper) or non-stick dehydrator sheets on your dehydrator trays so they don’t stick. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 12 hours – 14 hours or until crispy.
Break into crackers or crumble into granola. So good.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for these awesome recipe videos! I love my Vita-Mix even more now! I was wondering where you get one of those juice bags you used to strain the solids out of the milk? And, how do you wash it? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer,
I carry juice / nut milk bags in my store, just click on SHOP BIMI in the menu bar.
I wash mine by running them under water to remove the debris and sometimes soak them in a teeny bit of bleach in a sink full of water and air dry them.
I sometimes store mine in the freezer to keep the microbes at bay or just hang them up on a kitchen hook.
Glad you enjoy my videos and thanks for the positive feedback.
Much appreciated.
Jane

I just made the almond milk for the 1st time today and it turned out great! I plan to make this frequently but wondered how to utilize what is left in the juice bag so I don’t have to throw anything away.
Hi Patti,

Go to goneraw.com to get ideas. I don’t have a recipe at the moment, but let me know

Jane

[..YouTube..] great job as usual Jane. in a few days i’ll update you and the community about my experiments with NOG. It has been suggested that mixing fruits with dairy reduces the nutritional intake (of the fruit) by up to 70%. I’ve been wondering if almond or soy milk could be valid alternatives to using regular milk, for shakes, in order not to reduce the nutritional intake of fruits. I hope to find out and if I do, I’ll let everybody know the response.
Yes, keep us all posted.
Jane

This is something I am going to try when I make my next batch. I’ll fill a few sections in an ice cube tray and see how it works out. Then it will be ready for ice cream! Now I’m definitely going to do it.:)Jane
[..YouTube..] @homepeelptyltd Yes, freeze green smoothies and beauty waters in ice cube trays and then use them in concoctions. I haven’t frozen any nut butters – they never last long enough!

[..YouTube..] @mariascott67 Hi Maria,It’s gonna be good
I just made a blackberry shake with my almond milk.Jane
I am so appreciating everything you share with us!! I have 2 questions. 1)Do you make almond flour and if so do you soak the nuts first and if so how do you dry them? I don’t have one of those food dehydrators. 2)Does all nutritional yeast flakes contain vit B12 or does it need to state that specifically?
Thanks ever so much for taking time to answer everybody’s questions!
Thanks again, Elsha.
Hi Elsha,
I haven’t made almond flour, but if I did, I would soak the almonds, then dry them in the dehydrator or in an oven at 105 degrees until they are crisp again, probably overnight, then grind them in a spice grinder or in the dry container for the VitaMix until they are a flour. Do some googling and see how others do it. You may have to experiment.
As far as I know, nutritional yeast flakes do not contain B12 unless they are fortified with it. When I am concerned about B12, I take a supplement from Dr. Gabriel Cousens Culture of Life store. I am not the last word on these topics, so google around and see what other info you can get and that will help you get clarity on the subject.
Thank you for your kind words about my work and for your support. I appreciate it.
Jane.

[..YouTube..] How long will this almond milk last in the fridge? I know you said a few days, but could I store it for a week or two?
[..YouTube..] @bcparcher87 I have never stored it for longer than 3-4 days, because it never lasts, it’s too good and versatile. It’ll separate and you’ll have to stir it up. I do freeze almond milk in ice cube trays and use for smoothies, shakes, ice creams and salad dressings, so freezing is an option.
[..YouTube..] Can you add the flavouring in the initial step rather than after straining?
[..YouTube..] @stewartyu Yes, you can, either way is fine. Good point and thanks for mentioning.:)Jane
[..YouTube..] Hi Jane Thanks for posting all of your wonderful videos. I am going to make some of your almond milk. I have still been buying almond milk which is rather silly since I have everything I need to make it. You mention that you can keep it for a couple of days. Do you think it’s OK for 4-5 days? I enjoy watching …you seem to be having such a good time.Thanks, Rita
[..YouTube..] @gr8light Hi Rita,The reason I say a couple of days is because it never lasts long, I use it in so many goodies. But I also make ice cubes with it, and they last longer and then I have them ready for ice creams and shakes and they can always be defrosted and used for dressings, pour on cereal, granola, etc.Good luck and let me know how your almond milk turns out.Jane

[..YouTube..] Hi Jane,I just wanted to clarify something. Was all the smoothies you made with almond milk flavored with NOG, vanilla, and cinnamon?Also, I have raw almonds that does not have the brown skin (at least the store claimed it to be raw. I have a suspicion that they are blanched.) Should it still be soaked?
[..YouTube..] Thank you for sharing. It looks so good that will try this recipe !
[..YouTube..] @amasuba1 You’re welcome ! Come back with your review
[..YouTube..] have you ever tried making peanut milk? I haven’t but I can only imagine that it would taste amazing!!

[..YouTube..] Hi Jane, i have this great recipe to make a mango milkshake, it tastes awesome and is easy to make
here it is in case you want to try it:-condenced milk/honey (to make it sweeter)- cup of milk-1 tablespoon of sugarwater-and ofcourse, 2cups of mango (or just 1mango)it tasted delicious when i made it. hope you will try it *Ü*Bianca

[..YouTube..] This looks fantastic. I have finally inherited my mom’s Vitamix (as she finally upgraded after 10 years of reliable service!) and I’m looking forward to making my own almond milk.
[..YouTube..] @myfujicakes Let me know how you do – it is a staple in my fridge, it gets easier and quicker each time you make it.
[..YouTube..] Looks good! I think I might pour some into an ice cube tray and use them frozen with a banana for an amazing banana smoothie!
[..YouTube..] Hi there,I have a question for you concerning your almond milk. How long does it last in the frig? Unless I misunderstood, you say that you put it in a jar, store it in the frig, and it can stay nice and cold for a few days. Then you mention, “and then” you can use it for various things. Do you mean that you store it before using it? Please don’t laugh at me. It’s late and I just got off work.:D
[..YouTube..] @johnboyjj Definitely! I keep almond milk ice cubes on hand, too, and use them for ice creams, smoothies, shakes…
[..YouTube..] @tejohnsonjones I make it, usually make something with it right then, store the rest in the fridge, replenish my almond milk ice cubes supply if I’m low or out, and use what’s in the fridge within the next few days. It has become a staple for me for use in soups, shakes, salad dressings, smoothies, ice creams, etc. I know just how you feel when it’s late and you’re tired
After making the almond milk (it’s my first time ever having or making the milk) what do I do with the almond meal afterwards so that I can use it in future recipes? Do I need to dry it out – laid out on a pan to let it dry? Or, do Can I just put it in a Sealed container and put it in the fridge? How do I store it and how long does it last? Also, how long does the almond milk last for? Finally, how do you know if the almond milk or meal has gone bad?
I absolutely love your videos by the way. Thank you so much. One last question, in your chocolate icecream you put some green powder stuff. What exactly is that and where would I buy it from? Am I correct to assume that it is a dry version of many of our greens?
Thanks so much for your help.
Tam
Hi Tam,
Congrats on making your own almond milk. It has become a staple in my fridge.
The almond meal will last in the fridge for a few days in a sealed container. There are many recipes for using it in cookies and crackers on goneraw.com and other websites. I haven’t separately dried it out in a pan. I haven’t had almond milk go bad on me, probably because I use it up so fast in smoothies, shakes, soups, with raw choc goodies, etc. and it has lasted a full week in the fridge and if it separates, I just give it a stir.
Yes, the greens powder is simply dried greens, I get it from Whole Foods, at the moment I can’t remember the brand. I don’t use it often as it is expensive and I make raw choc treats without it all the time, so you don’t have to have it.
Thanks Jane!
My family loves your almond milk! Is there any way to make the chocolate ice cream with raw greens instead of the powder? If so, how would you adjust the recipe.
Thanks for answering all of my questions! Looking forward to trying more of your drinks. My son loves watching your videos with me!
Tam
Hi Tam,
Yes, you can use fresh greens in chocolate ice cream recipes. Make sure you dry them thoroughly so that no extra water is added to the recipe, or you will end up with a smoothie instead of a sorbet or ice cream.
The amount depends on how much green taste you want in the final flavor. Start with one leaf, you can always add more.
Thanks. I have a blast this week putting greens in virtually everything! My children are still working at getting over the colors but I’m sure they will get use to it soon enough.
Has anyone made a nut milk out of brazil nuts? I have some that I need to use.

Well, I finally made your nut milk! You know how you when you taste something really good, you usually do the 3 MMM MMM MMM’s? Well after I made your batch of milk with the nog and vanilla…It was 7 MMM MMM MMM’s!!! I actually made two batches. The sweetened one I made, I froze into cubes for ice cream. -And I think the unsweetened batch isn’t going to stay unsweetened much longer! It is incredibly easy to make. The only problem I had- my first batch I used a recipe that called for 4 cups of water instead of three, and that was a slight problem because I have the smaller blender container. Your recipe with three cups was much better and all I had to do was stick a little piece of paper towel when it started to foam out. LOVE LOVE LOVE this new world of nutmilk!

How wonderful that it’s your 50th video anniversary! Congratulations. I just found your site, so I’ll be sure to check out all the other 49! LOL.
I have made almond milk before following recipes from other raw websites, and once we tasted the homemade version, we couldn’t go back to store-bought. I’m so glad I’ve found your site. Thank you for your great videos and recipes and advice.
I must be one of the few that when it comes to chocolate, I can take it or leave it, (gasp) but both my husband and my son LOVE raw cacao in some of their smoothies. It’ll be great if I were to win your giveaway! It’ll make them very happy!
Hi Yan,
Thank you for your kind words and support. I appreciate it. This giveaway video is over a year old so the contest is long over. There are now over 250 videos on my website and YouTube channel, so I hope you enjoy them all. Let me know what you think of the blends. It’s great to get opinions other than my own. Have a great, greening day.
I love this recipe and all your wonderful videos, please keep them coming! You are doing a great job. Can you please share with me your recipe for making Chocolate Almond Milk? I’ve been buying it and I’d love to make my own at home. Thanks for all that you do!
I don’t really have a recipe per say, but if I was going to make it right now, I’d pour:
-2 cups fresh almond milk (I made some last night) into the VitaMix
-a TBS or two of raw cacao
-a splash of vanilla or 1″ vanilla bean
-2-3 Medjool dates, pitted (or sweetener of your choice to taste)
-a handful of ice if you want it chilled, or you can leave the ice out and blend until steamy (approx 4 min) for ‘hot chocolate’
Let me know how it comes out and now I want some.
I absolutely love your videos! We just recently bought a Vitamix and I use it at least 2-3 times a day thanks to your videos! I just made two batches of the almond milk and my daughters (ages 5 & 2) loved it! The NOG is an amazing touch! I also made a batch without the NOG for my 8 month old as I needed a supplement to my breast milk. She downed it like champ! Thank you again for these wonderful videos!
Hi Katie,
You’re welcome – it’s great to get your feedback and I wish you and your family as much fun and wellbeing from your VitaMix as I get from mine.
Keep me posted.
Hi Jane! I love your video’s! Thank you for sharing all that you have learned. My question is on how to store any left over almonds that have been soaked? Can I store them in the refrigerator in a glass container? And for how long? I don’t want to dehydrate them because I’d like to make more almond milk. Thank you!!
Jane
Hi Jane,
Not only do we have our name in common, but storing soaked and drained almonds is easy. I put them in a glass jar or bowl and put them in the fridge, sometimes not even covering them, and they are ready for blending into almond milk at a moment’s notice. I also have a bag of soaked almonds in the freezer as I write this, so both ways work. I have stored them in the fridge for max 2 weeks, if they last longer than that in the fridge I don’t know because I use them up.
Thank you Jane! I appreciate your help and love your video’s. My family and I loved the almond milk. It tasted like rice pudding! Delicious
Thank you! I just made my own beautiful red beet smoothie today (which involved red kale) and loved it but I could not have done it without all the inspiration and knowledge from your video’s
Thank’s again!
Jane
I was a bit skeptical but am a believer now! I wasn’t quite sure how it would taste without the dates et al but was really happy with the result. I didn’t soak my dates but put whole pitted dates in and though I had to blend it on high for about 30 seconds, the result was amazing. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
