Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using raw almonds for their creaminess. If you're nut-free, you could try using sunflower seeds instead! Just soak those as well. The cacao brings a lovely chocolatey depth, while fresh mint adds a zing that’s so refreshing.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge; it stays fresh for days, and I love seeing it through the clear glass.
- •If you want it extra creamy, try adding a bit more almonds or blending for a longer time!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a dash of peppermint extract if I want a stronger mint flavor.
- •If I'm feeling fancy, I’ll add a bit of espresso powder for a mocha-mint twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store your Choco-Mint Almond Milk in the fridge in a sealed glass jar. Give it a good shake before pouring, as it may separate a bit. It’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days, but I doubt it’ll last that long!
Frequently Asked Questions
