almond berry milk

vegan nesquik!

man, oh man, i loved strawberry nesquik as a kid. can't bring myself to touch the stuff today, but it still holds a place of longing in my heart. i had a ton of almond milk to use up before i left town, and plenty of berries about to turn to the dark side. the solution didn't take any effort, and it went down easy.

almond berry milk

• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 cups berries, washed (strawberries hulled and quartered)
• 1 Tablespoon white honey (or agave, if you're veganism is devout)
• splash of vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 2 ice cubes

preparation:

• combine the berries and honey, mixing so all the berries get coated. let sit for a few minutes, until the berries are glossy and have sweetened.
• add the milk, berries, extract, and salt to a blender.
• while blending on high speed, drop in a couple of ice cubes. continue to blend until it's frothy and chilled.

makes 1 generous serving
