Making your own vegan raw almond milk / UK Vegan Mom, Parenting Food blog

Yesterday I was on the nut run - a.k.a going to Holland & Barrett for 2KG of peanut butter , pecans , almonds, pines, and loads of different seeds .

Whilst I was there the lovely lady and I got chatting about me being vegan minus soy ( I miss soya :(  a lot !) and we talked about Almond milk . I had made my own that morning do I mentioned it and she said how she wanted to make some also , so this is for you Holland & Barrett lady. 

Soak 100g almonds over night and then peel the following day, of if you don't mind the skins leave it on . ( Pauly peeled ours while I was at work , he's a keeper!)


Measure 1.5 lts water and add to blender , I preferred filtering my water first through my Bobble filter  as ours tastes vile. 

To the water add 2-3 table spoons agave, and 2 tablespoons co yo yoghurt if you'd like pro-biotic qualities . 

Add half the nuts (50g) and whizz until its all blended together . 


It's so much richer than Alpro or Blue diamond . We store ours in a air tight glass bottle from Ikea or Wholefoods. 

It keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge.

  1. Do you strain the nut bits out afterwards with a nut milk bag? We use a Soyabella (soy milk machine that also makes nut milks) almost every day - home made is the way to go!

  2. Hi, No we don't strain it in our nut milk bag, we just whizz it all in our blender.

    I think I've seen those Soyabella machines? Does it ferment it or am i thinking of something else?

    Do you have a blog? xxxx

  4. No it doesn't ferment - just blends the nuts & water and does the job of a nut bag in one. We use ours everyday! Have you tried making with brown rice syrup? It's yum :)

    1. No I've not, I'm not that much of a brown rice fan, but will give it a go :)

      Have you been vegan long ? When I had to change my diet in the space of a day I hated it with a passion , now it's the best thing I've eve done :)

    2. I've been vegan for about 5 years, found it a little bit tough at first but yeah now it's easy and wonderful - especially as I am lucky enough to have lots of vegan friends so big support network :)

    3. That's really interesting - 5 yrs :-) I don't know anyone else vegan ( especially minus soy and gluten ) so I'm Abit on my own ! Ha!

      I was thinking about going to a vegan food festival but I think most places use soya ?!

      Any blogs you can recommend ?

    4. I'm vegan minus gluten. Not eating gluten means I can't have most 'fake meat' products, I guess the only soya I eat is the occasional bit of tofu. I make a mean vegan gluten & soya free 'mac n cheese'.
      Vegan festivals are great, although I'd recommend a bigger one like Vegfest in Brighton rather than the Wolverhapton one as it's likely to have more suitable stuff.

    5. That's interesting that your also gluten free . How long have you been gluten free ?

      You should write a blog so you can share the Mac & cheese , I love cheese - miss it so much , but I never want to feel ill again so it's worth it.

      I've been making amazing raw food lately. Divine!

    6. Not long really - a couple of months. All going well so far! I had a PE whilst pregnant just over a year ago and since I've been trying to get healthier. I was a bit of a junk food vegan before then.
      I'm really into raw food too, have an Excalibur dehydrator and have been experimenting with making kale chips and raw puddings.

    7. That's cool .

      Yes I know of a few people that rave about those dehydrators , I got a cheap one due to bring unsure about them , I might up grade one day when our weddings out of the way :)

      I really have a whole list of stuff I'd like for food prep !

      I'm more so into trying to find high / super food meals and protein meals as I'm constantly on the go with little sleep .

  8. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field. Very good blog!   hadeelweb
