Almond milk coffee Creamer recipe

If you’ve ever tried using store-bought almond milk in your morning coffee, you probably know that it doesn’t make a very good “creamer” substitute. It can curdle, it can separate, it can taste like preservatives… really, nothing that you want in a coffee creamer.

Homemade almond milk, on the other hand, tastes amazing in coffee.

Especially with my latest discovery–> blending in coconut oil!

By emulsifying a bit of coconut oil into your almond milk, not only will you have a thick, creamy coffee addition, you’ll also be adding some beneficial medium-chain fatty acids into your day. Medium-chain fatty acids, also called MCTs, actually boost your metabolism and help your body use fat for energy, as opposed to storing it, which may help optimize body weight and reduce your risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

It’s coffee creamer with benefits!

makes 4 cups

Ingredients:

1 cup raw almonds, soaked 6-8 hours & rinsed well
4 cups filtered water
2 Tablespoons coconut oil

Directions:

Position the nut milk bag over a large bowl, then pour the blender contents into the bag to strain. Squeeze well, until only dry almond pulp remains in the bag. (Reserve the leftover almond pulp for another recipe!)

Transfer the almond milk to a sealed container, and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Note: Freshly made almond milk produces a lovely foam, perfect for making a latte or cafe au lait, if used right away!
