The Easiest Vitamix Walnut Milk (2 Ways!)

Step 1

Soak walnuts in a bowl with water for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain soaked walnuts and rinse with cold water.

Step 3

Add walnuts to a blender with 3 cups water, vanilla, salt, and dates or pure maple syrup (plus cocoa powder if making the chocolate version).

Step 4

Blend on high for 1 minute (start at the lowest blending level and increase to high to prevent splashing) or until completely smooth and no large chunks of dates remain.

Step 5

Line a large container or jug with a nut milk bag or cheesecloth bag.

Step 6

Pour the milk from the vitamix through the bag to strain and squeeze the bag to remove all liquid so only pulp remains (this will take a few minutes, be patient :))

Step 7

Store walnut milk in the fridge or enjoy immediately!
