I use almond milk a LOT in the house. I even have a few brands that I usually purchase at the store. But, I’d been wanting to take control in the kitchen when it comes to my food and that included trying my hand at making homemade almond milk. I can’t believe how SUPER easy the Nut Milk Bag from Everyday Kitchen Essentials has made the process.
About the Nut Milk Bag
The Nut Milk Bag from Everyday Kitchen Essentials is both durable and long-lasting. It is made from a premium nylon fabric which holds up to the most strenuous nut milk-making around. At 10 X 13 inches LARGE, this bag fits over bowls for easy straining with a handy drawstring closure to keep things in place while straining.
This nut milk bag is available on Amazon for just $7.01 at the moment (retail price is listed at $19.99).
Not only can I make nut milks, but I can try my hand at homemade juices without needing a juicer! Yep, just use my blender to grind it all up and then use the nut milk bag to separate out the juice from the pulp. I can’t wait to see how it works for my super sensitive to texture son who can’t stand a regular smoothie.

This is SUPER easy to do. Gather up raw almonds and filtered water and you are ready to go!

Notes
There will be a little foam on the top of your strained milk. Sitting in the refrigerator for a while will have it disappear.
Make sure you keep the fresh almond milk in the refrigerator and use within a few days.
You can add a little of a sweetening agent to the strained milk, using the blender to mix it well. Also, adding a bit of cocoa powder will allow you to make chocolate almond milk.
I’ve already been ‘testing’ in in my daily Shakeology. Just this morning, I made it with 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of Shakeology, 1 tsp. almond butter, a dash of cinammon and 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Yum!!

This is a great recipe! I just posted my own homemade almond milk recipe on my blog. This is one of the easiest milks to make, I think, based on how tough it is to work on coconuts, which I love too!
I drink a lot of Almond milk as well but hadn’t considered trying to make my own. I’m intrigued and may have to try it now that I see how easy it is!
I’ve always wondered how hard it was to make your own almond milk. Now that I know it’s easy, I’m going to try this! Thanks for sharing!
My friend Jenni was making almond milk not two weeks ago and saying she wished she had something to make it easier!! I totally have to send this link to her!
You can’t beat that current sale price as the bag is WAY more durable and economical in the long run than cheesecloth.
This is awesome! I spend a fortune on almond milk!
Me, too, Diane! Considering it is around $4 per half gallon up here, I’m definitely all for making small batches of homemade.
I love to use almond milk in smoothies, it makes them so rich and creamy. I have never tried making my own though!
I have always wondered HOW they make Almond Milk but I had no idea it was so easy! I thought it was a complex process that could never be done on your own. That’s so cool!
I’ve always wanted to try making my own nut milk. You make it look easy!
I so want one of these to make homemade almond milk for my family instead of buying it. Looks so easy to use!
I love this nut milk bag. Almond milk is delicious and nutritious. It’s also very expensive. I can save a ton of money using this.
This is awesome! I love almond milk, but it’s so expensive. Now I can make it myself.
This is awesome! I’ve never heard of anything like this. I make my own nut butters, but to make my own almond milk- I’m so excited to try this!
I can’t get over how easy it was to use, Chelley. And, the fact that you can grab it for under $10 at Amazon is even better.
