Chocolate Almond Milk Recipe – Make Almond Milk

Chocolate almond milk is the perfect way to add some variety to your almond milk routine. Making your favorite milk in the chocolate form is great for kids, adds something different to milkshakes and is perfect for drinking.

We loved this recipe because of how easy it was to produce the chocolate almond milk and because it was all we hoped it would be. We had thick, creamy, chocolate almond milk.

This simple recipe will produce chocolate milk in no time, requires just three ingredients and is super thick and delicious. The great part about this recipe is that it can be made quickly by soaking the almonds in boiling water, or if you have time or want to prep a day early, you can soak the almonds over night.

• Blender or food processor
• Nut Milk Bag (or very thin towel)
• Container for almond milk
• Container to soak almonds
