Ingredients

For the almond milk:

  • 1 cup of raw almonds
  • 4 cups filtered water

For the chocolate milk:

  • 4 dates pitted
  • 2 tablespoons cocao not cocoa powder, this is raw & unprocessed
  • 2 teaspoons reishi mushroom powder
  • 2 teaspoons maca powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • Seeds from half a vanilla bean scraped out
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt pink salt is nice

Instructions

  1. Soak the almonds in water for 24-48 hours. Strain almonds and add to the blender along with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for 2 minutes and then pour the contents in a nut milk bag set in a bowl, or a strainer lined with a cheese cloth over a bowl. Squeeze all the milk out and save the leftover almond meal to make hummus, really yummo!
  2. To make the chocolate milk, soak the pitted dates in hot water for 5 minutes so they soften. Add the almond milk, dates strained from the water, and the remaining ingredients to a blender. Blend on high until everything is well incorporated, about 1 minute. Enjoy or keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
