    Do you sweeten it all? I have soaked my almonds over night and then blended them in the vitamix with dates but, I have noticed that dates are so high in calories that I am wondering if there is something a little less caloric to do? I do thing it is really yummy however.

    Well, if you use 2 dates and it makes 4 servings.... really you are only consuming a portion of one date.... AND some has been strained out, unless you aren't straining the milk out???. I do agree tho in that adds more calorie concern....

    I make it plain and is delicious in cereal and granola. But I have also used agave a little Cinnamon, or vanilla extract and a stevia packet. There are a lot of options.

    I read a recipe once on how to make chai almond milk. mmm I want to try it. :-D

    I tried making almond milk=failure. It was just bitter and not smooth and yummy like store brand. What's your secret?

    Not bitter at all and super creamy!! First, you have to use raw almonds, soak them in fridge for 4-8hrs. I blends them with a cup of water and slowly add 3 more as they blend. Some vanilla extract if going for sweetened with a packet of stevia or some agave. Blend till smooth Then strain through nut milk bag, doubled up cheesecloth, or a super fine strainer. Bag works best I think. It is even somewhat frothy and tastes like almonds with a hint if vanilla. This time I did fresh ground cinnamon in it too. Very appetizing. :) try again. I prefer it over store bought because it's all natural and fresh with nothing crudy our mystery added to it. I also think it's less watery and tastes more like almonds. Mm
