Almond Pulp
There is a by-product of homemade almond milk that many of us refer to as GOLD. What I am referring to is the almond pulp. Don’t throw this out, but rather use it to make incredible recipes, such as breads and cakes. Almond pulp can be frozen – I suggest measuring out 1/2 or 1 cup amounts in baggies and freeze them (label the amount and date it). More on the subject of almond pulp later.

Chocolate Raw Almond Milk Recipe

Chocolate Raw Almond Milk
After you remove the pulp from the above recipe, and have your almond milk ready to go, you then can alter its flavor. If its chocolate milk you desire, try adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, or 1 tablespoon each of raw cacao powder and raw carob powder to the almond milk and blend well, sample taste, and adjust if desired.
Or take it a bit slower and get more creative: take a glass of almond milk, add a small portion of cacao/carob powders, perhaps a bit of cherry or coffee extract, shake or blend well and see what you think. The point, begin thinking out of the box and come up with new combinations or substitution of ingredients and try different versions of recipes.
When it comes to raw food creations, you are only limited by your own imagination!
Almond milk history: Did you know, that almond milk was an obscure food item, only found in health stores. It gained popularity in the early 2000’s and passed soy milk sales in 2013.
