Flavored almond milk is a breeze to make at home. Simply blend soaked almonds with dates and your fruit of choice and strain. In this Strawberry Almond Milk recipe, we’ve replicated a classic childhood flavor for a dairy-free option to enjoy added to coffee or smoothies.
If you have kids, this is the perfect healthy beverage to serve as a snack or with meals. The flavor is smooth, complemented by a hint of sweetness from the strawberries and dates.
Not to mention, strawberries are loaded with antioxidants that can boost the immune system. The high fiber content from the dates can also support digestive health and enhance metabolism.
