Hi Friends, here is a really quick and simple recipe to learn how to make INSTANT almond milk! Say whaaat? Yep, you heard that right. It takes only 30 seconds and 5 ingredients to make thick and creamy, lush homemade almond milk.

With,

no soaking

and no straining

no special equipment

and no leftover almond pulp (i.e. no waste!)

Seems like our wishes really DO come true! This recipe is a great one when you’re too busy to make classic homemade almond milk. Or when you’ve just realized that you’re out of the store-bought stuff and there’s no way you’re changing out of your sweats to get to the grocery store.

You can use this instant almond milk recipe to make your foamy lattes, overnight oats, or use it however you enjoy your milk.

So, let me show you exactly how to make almond milk in 30 seconds.

Instant Almond Milk: How to make Almond Milk in 30 seconds

The ingredients

As mentioned above, there is only 5 ingredients to making homemade almond milk in 30 seconds. Here is what you need:

  • water
  • almond butter
  • maple syrup (or agave or honey)
  • pinch salt
  • pinch cinnamon

The ingredient list is super straight forward. And you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry RIGHT NOW! Go and check your pantry, I’ll be waiting right here.

Now, you might be wondering whether you can skip the last 3 ingredients, and just make the almond milk by blending water and almond butter? And the answer is, yes. However, I highly encourage you to add the remaining ingredients (maple syrup, salt and cinnamon) to enhance the flavour profile. A few ingredients goes a long way into make a tasty almond milk drink.

What’s more is that unlike traditional almond milk – where you must soak the nuts in advance, there is no soaking required. This also reduces waste from the leftover almond pulp that you have when using the traditional method. (The almond pulp can be used to make almond meal for other baked goods, but it definitely requires more work on your end). So feel good about no waste with this instant almond milk.

Method

It couldn’t get easier when it comes to making Instant Almond Milk. Simply toss your ingredients into a blender (no – you don’t need a high performance blender, a regular one will do just fine). Give it a good blend for 30 seconds and viola, you’re looking at a creamy almond drink to use for foamy lattes, overnight oats and much more.

No special equipment

I truly mean it when I say there’s no special equipment for making this 30 second homemade almond milk. No nut milk bag, and no special machine. All you need is your blender, and we all have one of those, right? And it doesn’t need to be a high performance blender. A regular blender will work just fine.

You also won’t need a nut milk bag for straining, since we are using almond butter instead of soaked almonds. Simply blend and bottle.

How does Instant Almond Milk compare to traditional homemade almond milk?

As you know, I am a huge fan of the traditional homemade almond milk. It’s ultra rich, creamy and smooth. So, I have to be 100% honest in saying that my preference is the classic homemade almond milk. TBH, I’m a bit of an almond milk snob. (Or as I prefer to say, a plant-milk sommelier). And in my opinion, the classic homemade almond milk always wins.

But, this homemade almond milk in 30 seconds is delicious! It’s creamy and flavourful. And works just the same as the traditional 10-minute homemade almond milk. 

And, there are a few ways to make your 30 second blend even smoother and creamier. I like to use blanched almond butter (i.e. white almond butter) instead of the classic kind. This means the skins have been removed before grinding into a paste. You can buy blanched almond butter on Amazon, and at some specialty organic stores like Wholefoods. Or, you make it yourself by adding 2 cups blanched almonds to food processor and blending for 10 minutes until it turns into a paste. (Use this blanched almond butter in recipes just as you would normal almond butter). With that said, blanched almond butter is not necessary for this recipe, the regular almond butter work just fine. But the blanched almond butter will yeild a smoother blend.

As for comparing Instant Almond Milk to the store bought brands. Instant almond milk wins my vote – it’s much creamier and more flavourful than most store-bought brands.
