3 plant-based milks you can easily make at home 🌱🥛
1. Almond Milk 🤎
½ cup almonds + 2 cups water
Blend until smooth, adding the water gradually rather than all at once.
✨ No straining required!
2. Coconut Milk 🥥
1 cup fresh coconut, chopped + 2 cups water
Blend really well, then strain through a muslin cloth or nut bag.
3. Oat Milk 🌾
1 cup rolled oats + 4 cups water + a little maple syrup + vanilla essence
Blend for only 30 seconds and strain through a muslin cloth.
⚠️ Don’t over-blend — that’s what can make oat milk slimy!
Storage:
Pour into an airtight bottle, refrigerate, and use within 2 days.
You can use these homemade milks in coffee, beverages, shakes, smoothies, cakes, porridges, stews and so much more. 🤍
And honestly, this is why I choose plant-based milk 🌿
I personally don’t want regular cow’s milk to be a part of my everyday diet. There are concerns around milk adulteration and contamination, and dairy consumption has also been studied in relation to hormonal changes, acne/breakouts and certain health outcomes, including breast cancer.
And then there’s the animal side of it. 🐄 The way cows can be treated in intensive dairy systems is something I personally don’t feel comfortable supporting.
So if I can make my own milk at home with a few simple ingredients, it feels like such an easy switch — for my choices and for the animals. 🤍
Which one are you trying first — almond, coconut or oat? 👇
