I love my homemade almond milk. I have a Vita-Mix blender and honestly if I could only keep one appliance, this would be it! I love it.

I use raw almonds. You can soak them overnight to get rid of the enzyme inhibitors.

I put them in the blender with water, a pinch of sea salt, vanilla and stevia. Then blend until ultra smooth. I then strain. I used to use jelly (clothe) strainers and it made very silky milk. But it is so much faster to just strain with a regular strainer. I have gotten lazy. It has a little more texture to it, but I dont mind.

Oh and use RAW almonds only. Best to soak them in water over night, so that the enzyme inhibitors get broken down. Makes for a very digestible milk. I also make hazelnut milk which I love very much.

The key is to get good quality nuts that are not rancid. I like Jaffe Brothers. I buy in bulk and then refridgerate or freeze depending on when I think I will use them. :)

Take 1 cup of natural RAW almonds. Cover with water and soak overnight. Then in the morning put them in a blender with 3 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract and some stevia for sweetness. You can also sweeten with honey if you dont have sugar issues. Blend very well and then strain through a strainer. For pulp free milk, use a jelly strainer (made of clothe). You can find them online.

Enjoy!!

      Getting sick much more often

      Have you tried adding in additional thiamine in the form called Benfotiamine?  Athletes need extra thiamine.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill and also when we're emotionally stressed.  A regular B Complex or multivitamin probably doesn't have enough thiamine.  Check the label for which type of thiamine is in your vitamins.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not desirable.  Benfotiamine has been shown to improve athletic performance and stamina, as well as improve recovery time.

      @knitty kittyExtra strength multivitamin, B complex, magnesium, Vitamin D, vitamin C and electrolytes first thing in the AM and in the evening. Blood work was always full pannel. Only thing off thats reoccurring in my blood work is that my b12 level is always sitting around 750-830 and has not moved from prior to diagnosis to now.

      What were/are you supplementing?   What sort of bloodwork?  Testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?

      Hey there @knitty kitty! I am very into health/fitness so I always made sure I was supplementing everything correctly even prior to diagnosis. Thats why I figured I would poke around on the forum with my question because to me it doesn't really make sense LOL. You’d think that eating clean and going gluten free would cause less colds and illnesses. I have blood work dine regularly and everything has been in check. But maybe you are spot on as my immune system was going 24/7 prior and I was stressed to the max and now I am just not used to it functioning normally.

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in...
