Recipe: Strawberry Almond Milk

I'm always in search of new, healthy recipes and am completely in love with this recent find. I made it twice this past week! 

You will need:

1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight)

12-15 fresh strawberries

2 pitted dates

3 1/4 cups filtered water

pinch of sea salt

Drain and rinse the almonds. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Strain the milk using a cheese cloth or metal strainer. This step takes a little bit of time, but I found that a combination of those two worked best for me. I placed a few layers of cheese cloth in the strainer and used a spatula to push the liquid through. 

Transfer the strawberry almond milk to a container and refrigerate.
