I really like your videos. One reason is because you don't edit out some of it while you are blending, tamping etc. So the person learning can see the whole process and this makes it more believable. In other words you can trust what you are telling us is the whole story and we actually feel that we can do this ourselves with no trouble. Thank you for doing it this way.

@iammeganp27 I know what you mean. Initially, I was a little worried about boring people, but in the end, decided to keep the videos the way I would want to see them as a viewer - all parts of the process viewable! I'm glad you're finding them useful and wish you much success with all your blending endeavours =)

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy =) FYI - Careful with eating things (especially nuts/high allergen foods) every single day. My daughter and I became extremely sensitive to almonds after years of over consumption. Try to change it up with other milks if possible (rice, hemp, coconut, raw cow milk...etc). I have recipes on my website. Hope you don't mind my 2 cents worth - I just like to caution people that this type of problem is very possible (and very annoying when it happens!)

@chantelllove Hmm, I don't think so.  As far as I know, that's a complicated process using various machinery.

@kingorbit The extra calories are most likely coming from the dates.

@legadillo That's interesting. Well, I'd start by doing a longer soak (minimum of 7 hours) and be sure to include some high quality sea salt to the soak water. Try blending a little longer (about 2 mins). Hope that helps. If not, then yes, go ahead and change the ratio to include more water, less almonds. Good luck, and let us know how it goes next time.
