Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients needed to make strawberry almond milk.

almonds — make sure you use raw almonds. They should be unsalted and untoasted.
sweetener — you can use maple syrup, honey, agave, etc. You can also use dates as well.
salt — I like a little sprinkle of sea salt. Kosher salt is great too. Just don’t use table salt.
vanilla extract — I prefer real vanilla extract over artificial vanilla.
strawberries — you can use fresh or frozen strawberries, but I usually use frozen ones since it’s available year-round and is budget-friendly. Got extra strawberries? Try my Korean Strawberry Milk.
filtered water — me and my Brita filter are best buds.

How to Make Strawberry Almond Milk

Soak your almonds overnight in water. If you are using 1 cup of almonds, be sure to have at least 2 cups of water. The almonds will absorb the liquid and expand.
Drain the almonds and blend together the soaked almonds, sweetener of choice, salt, vanilla extract, strawberries, and filtered water.
Strain the blended liquid through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag (I like putting a fine mesh strainer underneath for extra support) and squeeze every last bit of liquid out of the almonds.
Store in the fridge or serve immediately.

Recipe Tips and Notes

Don’t want to soak the almonds or don’t have any on hand? Blend together almond milk, maple syrup, and strawberries instead!
I recommend using a high-speed blender, as some blenders may not be strong enough to really get through the almonds.
You can swap or add additional berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, for more flavor!
Be sure to give it a good shake before drinking, as the almond milk might separate in the fridge (totally normal).

Storage Tips

Storage: Store any leftover strawberry milk in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: You can freeze it in ice cube trays so you can serve almond milk with frozen almond milk cubes.

How do I make strawberry almond milk creamier?

To make your almond milk more creamy, you can just add less water to the blender.

Is almond milk wasteful?

I had someone tell me that they don’t make almond milk because they think it is wasteful to toss the blended up almonds after squeezing the milk out of them. Did you know you can actually use that? You can use almond meal in recipes or you can turn it into almond flour! Just make it until dried, then blend it up until it is of a flour consistency. Blend in the strawberry after you’ve strained the almonds out, so it doesn’t affect the almond meal.
