Tips & Tricks To Better Milk

FAQs

Why should I make my own almond milk?

Making your own plant-based milk at home is a win for your wallet, your health, and the environment. Plus, it’s a chance to get creative with your ingredients. Craving strawberry-infused almond milk? Just toss fresh strawberries into the Almond Cow’s filter basket with your almonds, and voilà—beautifully pink, deliciously flavored milk. Whether it’s lavender, chocolate, vanilla, or honey, the Almond Cow lets you experiment with endless flavor combinations that pair perfectly with almonds.

Store-bought almond milk, on the other hand, often contains unwanted additives—think canola oil, xanthan gum, artificial flavors, and preservatives with names you can’t pronounce. With the Almond Cow, you’re in full control of your ingredients. We even offer a nutrition calculator on our site so you can see the exact nutritional breakdown of the milk and pulp you create.

And speaking of pulp, the possibilities are endless! From Almond Butter Cookies to Almond Pulp Banana Bread, you can transform leftover pulp into delicious treats. You can also freeze the pulp into cubes to add extra flavor, nutrients, and creaminess to your smoothies. Need inspiration? Check out our Green Smoothie with Almond Pulp Cubes recipe for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack.

Beyond all the health and taste benefits, homemade almond milk with the Almond Cow is far more affordable than store-bought options. With just one cup of almonds, you’ll save around 30% compared to what you’d spend at the store. Our 3-pound bag of almonds makes nine jugs of almond milk—that’s only $2.55 per jug! Plus, you’ll enjoy a milk richer in almonds. Did you know that some store-bought milks contain as few as three almonds per cup? The rest is mostly water, gums, emulsifiers, and sweeteners. With the Almond Cow, you get 30 to 90 almonds per cup, and the only sweeteners are those you choose to add. It’s total control, total freshness, and totally delicious.

What almonds should you use to make almond milk?

Almond Cow offers premium-quality almonds that are perfect for both milking and snacking. Our raw almonds are just the right size to create consistently smooth, creamy almond milk. They come with these standout benefits:

Raw, Flash Steam Pasteurized
Glyphosate Residue Free – Certified by DetoxProject

Do I need to soak almonds before making almond milk?

No soaking necessary! With the Almond Cow, you can skip straight to making delicious almond milk without any prep. However, if you want to take an extra step for an even creamier texture, soaking your almonds beforehand can help. It’s totally up to you—either way, you’ll get fresh, tasty almond milk in minutes!

How many calories are in almond milk?
