Tips and Warnings

  • Serving size: 1/2 cup
  • For a quicker softening option: bring a pot of water to boil, and pour in raw almonds. Remove from heat, and let almonds soak for 1-2 hours, or until soft.
  • Medjool dates and vanilla are optional flavorings for our homemade almond milk recipe. Start with 6 dates and go up from there depending on how sweet you like it.
