Strawberry Almond Milk Recipe
This homemade strawberry almond milk is a creamy, naturally sweet, and refreshing dairy-free alternative! Made with real strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, and a touch of coconut sugar, it’s free from artificial flavors. Enjoy it chilled, in smoothies, or poured over your favorite cereal!
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, water, and coconut sugar. Cook over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once they are soft lightly mash the strawberries to release more juice.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing to extract all the liquid. I just use the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula. Discard the remaining seeds.
- Transfer the strained strawberry syrup to a large jar or bottle. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract, then seal with a top and shake to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Shake well before drinking and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with other types of plant based milk.
- If you don't have a strainer you can also use cheescloth.
- Keep in mind the nutritional information is an estimate. It will vary based on the almond milk you use and how much sugar you add.
