Easy Almond Milk

Occasionally, I like to make a recipe that calls for almond milk, such as a smoothie.  If I don't have any on hand, this is what I like to do instead.  I like this because it's easy and allows me to keep the integrity of the recipe intact.  Staying processed free is important to me and there are also times when you wouldn't want to use regular milk.  For example, if you are mixing it with cocoa powder, regular milk interferes with the antioxidants, so using a different milk is preferable.  If you're in a pinch, try this!

1 cup water
1-2 Tbsp. raw almond butter

In a blender, combine these until smooth.  If you're using this in a smoothie or something that would otherwise be blended anyway, just add them to the bender with everything else you're using anyway.  Hope this makes life easier when you run out of almond milk!
