Strawberry Almond Milk

I have officially made nut milk for the first time ! Simple and delicious. I will drink it on its own I think but will also use it for a smoothy ! This weekend I start to look after my body and mind better - Start with one small good thing and hang on to it and carry on bit by bit day by day build your future as you want it to be ! Found a lovely recipe in Julia Watkins wonderful book Simply Living Well to make truffles with the leftover nut pulp - full of protein and delicious I think - so no waste ! Sadia would definitely approve ;)

Yayy congrats on the first batch of nut milk, Iain ☺️ Love the approach of starting with one small habit and building from there. It’s amazing how little steps add up over time! And homemade truffles with the leftover pulp sound incredible❣️

The strawberry milk is delicious. Instead of whole almonds, I opted for almond butter. All I had to do was blend everything in the mixer and the milk was ready to serve in no time.

Hi,
This sounds amazing, but I am just wondering. What if I skip the draining steps and leave the pulp in there? Nutritionally it would be a shame to get rid of all the nice fibers from the nuts and the strawberries. Is the reason of draining to get a better texture for the drink, or is there another reason behind?
I am not trying to criticize, only curious:)

Hi there, Julia! Thanks for the question 🤗 The straining is mainly to give the milk a smoother, lighter texture. We personally find the pulp a bit too thick in a drink. If you’d like to keep the fiber, you can skip straining, or save the pulp and add it to smoothies, oatmeal, or soups so nothing goes to waste 🫶
