Hello, hello...let's talk about non dairy milks! I love them all and being vegan feel so lucky to have so many to choose from..almond, coconut, hemp seed, rice, soya, hazelnut, oat or flax milk. Every single one has something special, so explore, keep open mind and sample a few to see what works for you. Most of them are fortified with extra protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals but also sugars, thickeners and additives, so make sure you always read the label before making your purchase. I personally make my own almond milk, it so easy, low in calories ( that's if you count them, I don't) creamy and full of healthy fats. And I know what exactly is in my milk! Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup of raw, unsalted almonds
Method
Start by soaking the almonds overnight in cold water or for couple of hours in hot boiled water. In the morning rinse, pop in your food processor and blend with 3 cups of water. Next strain through a muslin cloth, tea towel or a nut bag. Squeeze the towel gently to get all the milk out Sometimes I add couple of Medjool dates, vanilla extract or cinnamon for a bit of flavour, but that's entirely up to you. . Once finished store in a screw top jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Almond milk is delicious and works well in hot and cold drinks, porridge, cooking, baking or on its own straight from the jar. Enjoy!
Much love,
Hedi
