If you are intolerant to lactose or following a vegan diet or just looking for a healthier switch to your diet, we have good news for you! Plant-based milks can be a great alternative to cow’s milk and they don’t lack in nutritional properties!
And since most nut milks at the Super Market tend to have more preservatives and artificial ingredients, it’s always better to make your own! Homemade nut milks are easy to make and of course fresher!
See how many options you have! Apparently you can make milk from almost every nut that you like! Depending on the plant you use, you get different nutritional benefits, the process though is very similar in all cases!
