I drink almond milk because I can not tolerate whole, soy or rice milk. When I buy almond milk there are so many other things added (like cane juice....thats sugar and sugar feeds candida) that it gets my Candida acting up. So I make my own Almond Milk and it is working out very well.
Below are directions on how you can make your own.
Soak your almonds overnight, or at least 4-8 hours. I usually soak mine about 12 hours.
Empty off the water you soaked the almonds in and pour 4 cups of fresh water into blender along with the soaked almonds.
Here it is blending away. I set my blender on ice chop and it does a nice job.
Now you need to strain it. I use this little strainer that is fine mesh in the bottom.
This is what is left after straining the milk throught the mesh screen. You can use this to make cookies, cakes....I am still trying to find other uses for it. I will post some recipes when I get a chance.
Looks like milk doesn't it? If you like yours strained more, you can use a cheese cloth or a nut bag.
Original Recipe
1 Cup Almonds
4 Cups Water
Let Almonds Soak overnight or for at least 4 to 12 hours before blending. Blend and strain through a mesh screen or cheesecloth. You can also add vanilla and a sweetner to this. I do not sweeten mine with anything.

looks good!!will make some this week end, can I eat this with regular cereal?
This is pretty cool. I'm allergic to almonds so I can't really try it, but I love the fact that you made it yourself.
this is great!! How long is it good for?
Julz,
I will last 5 to 7 days before getting sour.
Terry thanks so much!! I think I have had candida most of my life. I have tried to get rid of it many times. I have a heck of a time staying away from carbs and sweets. You have some of the best recipes I've seen for the candida cleanse. I've been at this for over 20 years. If there is a symptom for it, I probably have it. I have RA, fibro, epstein barr, migraines, back problems, hip problems. TMJ, sinus trouble, the list goes on and on. I've tried so many times that I'm about out of steam. But, I keep trying. I especially like the rotation system with the anti fungals. The problem I have is that I've tried and failed so many times that my body doesn't respond now to the anti fungals that I've used. I'm so happy for the list that you posted. There are so many more there that I can keep trying.
I have to make this a way of life. I know that. You have helped me in finding so many more ways of making it a way of life.
Thank you. I am again encouraged that I may be able to live a life of quality not self loathing, pain, suffering and depression.
I've been drinking soya milk for a long time but recently read that I shouldnt have it on the candida diet - is this the case and if so, can I have rice milk as an alternative? I also found out that I shouldnt be drinking black tea which I love so much - is it not ok to have an organic one or is it strictly out of bounds? Kerry
I also drank soy milk at first, like you, I found it is not so good so I drink mostly almond milk. Sometimes I do coconut or rice. Rice didn't always agree with me so I did limit it but didn't cut it out completely.
Black tea was completely out for me. I didn't and still don't use any tea that contains caffeine
.. so would organic black tea not be suitable or should I just stick to specialist teas? Kerry
Kerry,
I think black tea has caffeine and that isn't good for candida. I only drink decaffinated herbal teas. My favorite is licorice root because it has a sweet taste all on it's own.
