Ingredients
RECIPE
We start by making your fresh almond milk.
STEP 1
First, soak your almonds in water for 4 - 8 hours. Raw almonds contain antinutrients such as phytic acid, which can block the absorption of minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium in your body. By soaking the almonds, you break down some of this phytic acid and make the nuts easier to digest. In addition, soaking also gives your almond milk a softer texture and taste.
STEP 2
Rinse the soaked almonds and add them to the sieve of your MULSI along with a pinch of salt and fill the basin with water.
STEP 3
Blend the almonds with a hand blender in your MULSI into a delicious almond milk.
STEP 4
Use the MULSI press to not lose a drop of your almond milk. Stir gently through the sieve so that all the pulp becomes increasingly dry. Then use the press to press the almond pulp as dry as possible.
STEP 5
Pour the almond milk into a glass bottle and put it in your fridge. Keep about 250 ml of almond milk left in the SILO. Now add all the other ingredients to the silo and use your hand blender again to mix everything.
Alternatively, pour 250 ml of almond milk into a blender and mix all other ingredients in the blender.
Made in less than a minute, just the way you want it. Without the unnecessary additions.

Why a green smoothie?
Green smoothies are a simple and quick way to get more (leafy) vegetables more often — without really tasting it. And it's even tastier and healthier if you make it with your own plant-based milk. Wondering what these ingredients are good for? Green leafy vegetables help detoxify your liver, which often leads to cleaner skin. Add healthy fats (such as almonds or avocado) and you'll nourish your skin from within. Whether you're a breakfast person or not — a green smoothie is a light but filling option that won't overload your system. You can even prep it for busy mornings.
Benefits of this smoothie:
- 💚 Packed with fiber and antioxidants
- 🥑 Healthy fats from avocado
- 🌿 Easy to digest & light
- 🧘🏽 ♀️ Provides long-lasting energy without a dip
- ♻️ Completely plant-based and zero waste (because: you also use the pulp!)
Making plant-based milk with the MULSI
What makes this smoothie extra special? You use homemade plant-based milk from the MULSI. We went for light almond milk, but you can also go for protein-rich soy or hemp milk. Whichever plant-based milk you choose, with MULSI you make them all completely free of additives. No sugars, no stabilizers, no hidden ingredients. Only pure plant-based and super fresh.
Bonus: What can you do with the pulp?
Did you make your own almond milk with the MULSI? Don't throw away the pulp! You can use it to:
- Vegan Almond Choco Truffles
- Nutritious breakfast crackers made from Almond Pulp
- Vegan “Ricotta”
We hope this green smoothie is your reminder that you really don't need complicated superfoods or expensive powders to eat healthy and nutritious food. With a little bit of love for your body, a balanced diet full of vegetables, pure and fresh ingredients, you can go a long way!
