More and more people are deciding to give up dairy products. There are plenty of reasons for it, ranging from milk allergies and lactose intolerance to ethical principles. Fortunately, there are many plant-based milk alternatives both for drinking and cooking.
If you ask me, homemade plant-based milk tastes the best. It also contains all the micro and macro nutrients of the nut/seed/grain/legume you use.
Store-bought plant milk is pasteurized (heated up to very high temperatures), so it can last 1-3 years on the store shelves at room temperature. Manufacturers also often skimp on the base ingredient to save money and use thickeners to keep the non-dairy milk from being overly watery. Then they add natural flavors to enhance the taste and oils to improve the texture.
So, when choosing milk alternatives, remember that not all products are created equal. The things I watch out for in store-bought plant milks are added sugars (e.g. cane sugar, sucrose, fructose, glucose, dextrose, maltodextrin, lactose, maltose), oils (sunflower oil and rapeseed oil are the most common), stabilizers (gellan gum and carageenan gum), thickeners (xantham gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, tapioca starch, cornstarch), and acid regulators (phosphates). I also buy organic non-dairy milk whenever possible to avoid unwanted chemicals and GMOs.
With limitless choices from almond, cashew, coconut, flax, hazelnut, hemp, macadamia, oat, rice, soy, walnut, and even pea milk, the options can be overwhelming. So which are the best non-dairy milk alternatives? And how do these different plant milks compare nutritionally? It all depends on what you’re looking for.

Which plant-based milk is your favorite and which one is your least favorite? My favorite nut & seed milk is hazelnut milk and my least favorite is sesame seed milk (as I find it too bitter).
Mine is almond
Mine is almond and coconut.
The supplement which you mentioned I didn't understand. Plz reply
Poppy seed milk
But sesame milk has substantial amount of calcium
Hazelnut and Hemp are my favs. Hemp milk and a couple of dates blended in as sweetener wins.
I dunno why I love watching videos of things I'll never make myself.
Lol, thank you for watching :)
😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏻♀️
Lol
You should make them!
Thank you for including seed milks. I’m sensitive to nuts and coconuts, which makes my dairy-free options more restricted. I love hemp milk.
Ms Melissa SOY. I’ve been wanting to try to make it myself. It’s quite a process.
Pistachio milk - probably the best nut milk imho.
Oh really? I have never even thought about making pistachio milk. Thank you for te tip. I am definitely gonna try it.
FANTASTIC breakdown! Thank you! Also appreciate the tip about sunflower lecithin. Will be trying my hand at plant-based milks again.
All the milks looks delicious. I never thought about using some of the other nuts and seeds to make milk. Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions.
Tiger nut milk, Kunnu Aya (Nigerian-style Tigernut Milk), Horchata de Chufa (Spain), is made from tigernuts (cyperus) which are not a nut but a tuber, people with nut allergies can enjoy this plant based milk.
Thank you so much with this video !! I was talking about the vegetal milks we can do with a close parent and here you bring the subject which makes the summary so... of course, I will send the video 😍🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for mentioning the sunflower lecithin! I never heard of an emulsifier before now :)
Love your videos but I need to point out something. As far as I understand, soaking nuts and legumes eliminates phytic acid content by activating the enzyme phytase (which breaks down phytic acid). Soaking also activates amylase which breaks down complex starches in grains making it easier to digest. So discarding the soaking water (which doesn't have phytic acid in it) won't provide additional benefits. On the contrary you might be missing out on some water soluble nutrients. Appreciate the amount of work you put into this. Great editing and aesthetics as well.
I have soaked almonds before and most of the time the water turns almost black. It's so dirty the water, I wouldn't want to use that water to cook in. Just my thoughts.
Maybe I can contribute with your comment, and help with this question.
The enzyme phytase is more active and efficient on animals. The soaking method extract the antinutrients such as phytate, oxalate and tannin, through the dissolution process, which allows these components to passively go into water. Discarding the water may lose some water soluble nutrients, but it increases the bioavailability of what is left.
It also improves the digestibility, so it's an overall better option to soak and discard the water of most of the grains, beans and seeds.
@@confeitoterapia2838 nice reply.... Always good to know why 🙂
@@confeitoterapia2838 Thanks for the reply. I'll look further into this, information out there on this topic is scarce and confusing.
@@ilerifirat I'm happy to help.
The information sometimes get a little confusing because it's seen more often on scientific articles. But it's a really interesting topic to know about. ;)
Oohhh what a beautiful video. Such an art.
Another great video Petra. I’m on my way to the supermarket for make coconut and hazelnut milk
They all seem nice in their own way. I'd go for macadamia mylk the most.
Thank you for your videos, so calm and informative. The taste test is always my favourite part. I've never tried making plant milk at home as every cloth that is in my home for 3 minutes gets covered in cat hair and that's not very appealing for straining through xD
You are a visual poet
Yes She is!
Wow! Much appreciated video.
I needed a video like this, thank uuu!! 🥜🌰🥥
This video is so aesthetic and relaxing to watch. :) Love the process of water and seeds become milk!
After seeing this, i already tried almond, sunflower and pumpkin seed milk - all were fantastic. :) Now I'm curious to try out coconut milk.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! ❤️
Thank you so much for these kind of videos, you make life easier ❤
Thank you so much for watching 💗
Thank you🙌
I love this channel. You rock.
Aw, thank you! ❤️
Thanks for sharing
Muchas gracias, me encantan y me ayudan mucho tus videos!
Te mando un saludo! 😊😊💕💕💕💕
My fav is coconut and almond but prefer coconut seems to be more a clean taste. But all can be great
Love your videos...I think the best on CZcams hands down! 😁🤗 Do you have a video or if not can you make a video on what to do with the ground up nuts left over.
Thank you! That's so kind of you to say. I don't have a video but this is what I do: I dehydrate the leftover pulp and then grind the pulp into flour. There are a ton of recipes that call for nut flours, which is what I use the nut flours for. If I don't end up grinding the dehydrated pulp, I sprinkle it on my oatmeal or add it to granola or granola bars. The options are endless :)
@@NutritionRefined thank you for the reply. 🤗. Can you please tell me how you dehydrate the pulp. That was my thoughts, I try to use it as fast as can because it is moist but dehydrating it would make it last longer.
@@jmidnite114 Yes, for sure! Well, I own a dehydrator (so, I usually just spread it onto a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate the pulp at 115 F until completely dry, about 12 hours. Now, I realize that most people don't own a dehydrator. So, the next best thing is to spread the wet pulp onto a baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper if you'd like) and bake it at the lowest temperature your oven will go to (usually it's around 150 F). It should take about 3-4 hours.
@@NutritionRefined thank you
Idk how they make it but they sell pea milk at my grocery store! You should try it out id love to see that lol
Thank you for the video!
How much lecithin do you add?
Hi dear .. Love from Tamil nadu , chennai .. Love u
Thank you for this. If we have fresh coconut here in Philippines. What should i do pls?
I love your videos ❤️My favorite is cashew milk because it’s creamy!!! They are all good though 😊
Yes, cashew milk is awesome, especially for baking. It makes for an amazing coffee creamer too :)
Nutrition refined, yes, I use the cashew milk in my coffee and it taste like cow milk. Love it!! Keep making your wonderful videos!! I didn’t know cashew milk was good for baking. Thank you for letting me know that!!!
@@seacoast4950 Thank you! ❤️
Saving for latter
Honestly speaking, I am absolutely love plant-based milks. My favourites are soy milk, almond milk, tigernut milk (due to its natural sweetness and high fiber content), sesame milk (because of the high calcium content), flaxseed milk, oat milk and (very recently) coconut milk (I use it for curries, homemade yogurts and desserts like cheesecake).
I tried brazil nut milk, but - it wasn't for me, plus I'm not a fan of hemp. But hey, I'll have a go at brazil nut milk again when I get the chance.
However, the next ones that I'll try making are: hazelnut milk (perfect for Dairy-free hot "chocolate" at Christmas - yum 😋), peanut milk, cashew milk, walnut milk, pecan milk, apricot kernel milk, chia seed milk, poppy seed milk, sunflower seed milk, pumpkin seed milk, macademia milk, and brown rice milk.
Btw, I have heard of pea milk, and I was wondering if it is possible to make milk out of chickpeas, lentils and other beans (e.g.: adzuki beans, mung beans and black beans)?
Hi Faith - the next one I want to try is poppy seed milk! So many people seem to love it :) I have never tried making milk out of legumes, but it must be possible since there are commercial brands doing it ...
Do you use raw nuts, ive herd most nuts are pasteurized do you have a recommendation on brands? Also if I do not have a nut milk bag what can I use as a substitute?
Do you have some ideas for how to use the solid part after straining the milk? I wouldn't like to throw it away. Thank you!
Cookies
Mix in muesli bars
Thickner, soups
Sauces
Dry, salad toppings
Mix with yams etc. For fillings
Add in zip lock / selable, flatten it and leave in freezer. More storage space.
Hi Anna - yes, definitely don't throw it away! What I do is dry the pulp using a dehydrator (you can also use your oven on the lowest setting, or even sun-dry the pulp if it's hot where you live). You can sprinkle the pulp on your morning cereal, smoothies, or even use it to make granola. Often time I grind the pulp into flour (using my Vitamix or a food processor) and use it for baking.
can we use soy lecitin or liquid sunflower lecitin? I can't find powder sunflower lecitin were i live
very cool
Hi, if I have a Vitamix and grind the hazelnuts down to a powder, do I still need to run them thru cheese cloth or can I just drink with pulp altogether?
What kind of sunflower lecithin is best to use, I would like to make flaxseed milk and also can I use it in any plant base milk I make?
After straining the nut milk in the milk bag, should I put it back into the blender and add more water to get more milk out, or do you not recommend that? Thanks.
@NutritionRefined Petra, how do you make Oat milk that is not slimy? Mine tastes good but is very slimy, especially when kneading it through the nut milk bag.
Can you do a video where you compare how they froth on an espresso machine I’ve been trying to find a homemade nut milk or vegan milk that I can make lattes with
Can you please do a rice milk??
thank you!! :)
Could you please put a link on where you buy your lecithin. The one I bought from Amazon has a strong chemical smell and taste, I had to trash it.
Hi. Is it possible to thicken the coconut milk as well by heating?? Please answer
Which sunflower lecithin powder brand do yo use? Thanks
Hello! I really love your videos 💗
Can someone tell me want the powder is? English is not my main language. Thank you so much. Love for all
Sunflower lecitine
What's that powder you put in the end before again blending???
Just wondering do I need to cook the rice or does it not matter? Thanks
Is sunflower lecithin the same with homemade sunflower powder made from sunflower seed?
Thank you!!! What about oat milk, how do you remove that type/kimd of mucus that appears?
Hi Sandra - I JUST responded to somebody asking the exact same question, so I'm gonna just copy and paste it here :) "There are a few reasons why oat milk can get slimy. 1. Using the wrong kind of oats (rolled oats are the best). 2. Soaking the oats - just like flax seeds, oats can get slimy when soaked, so skip the soaking. I know that many oat milk recipes call for soaking the oats ahead of time, to help wash off the slime, but I found that soaking the oats actually produces a more slimy results then just using the dry oats..3. Over-blending - you don't want to blend the oats for longer than 30 seconds, especially if you have a high-speed blender. 4. Using too high r/oats to water ratio - I use 1:4 ratio, and it works great. 4. Not straining the milk though a fine sieve or squeezing the milk too much when straining it (such as when using a nut milk bag). The I find that the more you handle ("squeeze") the milk, the slimier it gets. "
Even oats and rice milk can be made.
Yes! They are definitely on my list for videos to film :)
Hello , That is a very good idea about dairy free milk. Very informative. Every time the notify button alert me , Here I go. lol.
Just one question please can you tell me the name of your sunflower lecithin. I am search and from my understanding the best one is organic, and cold pressed, sunflower lecithin. I live in UK, but could buy in any part of the world, I supose. It is very difficult to find , unless I pay £80 pounds for 1 kg (it was the only one I found). That is to much. Thank for the help you can give to me . Continue with these and other videos that you post, they are very good.
Ana PP It can be purchased on amazon.co.uk
Great video as usual. I would love to see you do rice and oat milk. What about soy milk? Is that possible?
Hi Joleen - definitely on my list! I make oat milk quite often, and love it.
Hi, what do you do with all the pulp?
I would love the know the ratios of nuts/seeds to water that you specifically used! Then, I could adjust to my taste and create my own personalized and tasty recipes!
Hi Kassidy - the most frequent ratio I use is 1:3. The only exceptions are coconut milk (1:2) and flax seed milk (1:16). I might increase/decrease the ratio if I am using the milks for a specific recipe, but that rarely happens.
Thank you so much! That is really helpful as I prefer a very creamy and fatty plant milk in any recipe, on cereal, or in hot chocolate.
Hi) I'm not very good in English, what did you add in milk to put it together?
Do you make rice milk?
Hi
I am Trying to be dairy free here in India where we have very less options available..almost nothing ..like almond and soy are just entering the market which are with sugar and super expensive like if normal milk is 50 per lit this is 300/-. So your video is a blessing .Thanks . I have one problem though .i do not get the product you added after straining the milk .can you give me a alternative or should I just skip it..?.
Sei molto brava. Mi dispiace non poterli fare non capisco la tua lingua.
Hi! 🙃 Have you ever tried making almond milk from almond butter? And also, have you already cooked any baked recipe using the almond pulp leftover? Thank you! Love your videos! 😍❤
Hi Debora - no, I have never tried it. I dehydrate the pulp and grind it into flour in my Vitamix. I then use it for recipes that call for almond flour, sprinkle it on my smoothie, add it to granola bars - lots of options :)
@@NutritionRefined Wow, thank you! I'll try these ideas here! 😁😘
I love how easy to prepare these are, and that you include advice about soaking and rinsing pertinent to categories of nuts and seeds. Thanks For Posting : )
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I need to know name of the powder you add for homogenized
Petra...you are a genius!
Imagine occasionally adding blended fruit and/or spices! The possibilities are endless.
Coconut milk with blended pineapple...etc, etc, etc.
Yummy!
Oooh, that sounds delicious!!! Thank you for the kind comment, Barbara! ❤️
Hoe much time can it sit in the refrigerator?
can i use soy bean lechin ?
Hello, I have made oat milk several times and it always comes very slimy is there anything you can add to this so this wouldn’t happen very discouraging !!!
You can add few cashews or chia seeds to the oats and then blend it.
Hi Theresa - there are a few reasons why that happens. 1. Using the wrong kind of oats (rolled oats are the best). 2. Soaking the oats - just like flax seeds, oats can get slimy when soaked, so skip the soaking. I know that many oat milk recipes call for soaking the oats ahead of time, to help wash off the slime, but I found that soaking the oats actually produces a more slimy results then just using the dry oats..3.

The I find that the more you handle ("squeeze") the milk, the slimier it gets. Hope it helps :)
NutritionRefined Thank you so much 😊
how long can be keep in the fridge ?
Generally speaking, homemade plant-based milk will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator. If I make a big batch, I freeze it in an ice cube tray.
Petra I've realised they are all done the same way as long as you have a cheese cloth,to go with, it, by the way have you post about homemade vegan heavy cream yet or not?,about the vegan butter I've already saved it,thanks again.
Thank you for the comment. I haven't posted a heavy cream recipe yet, but hopefully I will get to it soon!

I thought you didn't have to strain hemp milk?
woooootttttzzz a lotzzz of vltradeliciovzzz vegan milkzzz in one place i havent tried them all but i'm sure i love hazelnut milk the most i also love everything with hazelnut vegan cakes ,creams ,smoothies , hazelnut ice cream woooooofffff woooooofffffff 😍😝😍😝😍😝😍😝😍😝💞💚💚💚👅💦🌱🌰🥥💦👅💚💚💚💞
What about poppy seed milk? I read that it has lot of calcium.
Hmm I didn't know that poppy seeds have calcium. Since I'm planning on trying it out myself, I'll say go for it.
Also, speaking of calcium, sesame seeds have more calcium than cow's milk; however, when turning it into milk, unlike poppy seeds, you have to soak the sesame seeds.
Imagine combining the two together in one milk though: sesame seeds and poppy seeds = double calcium = bone health powerhouse.
Like your video and thanks for doing this kind o content.
Coconut is not a fruit is a Nut... Coco NUT
Thank you so much, Jessica! Botanically, coconut is actually classified as a fruit (more specifically, a drupe). In more general terms, however, a coconut can be a fruit, a seed, or a nut.
Should'nt the Almond strep befor it blend
Hi Marcia - you can blanch the almonds, but there is no need to.
So to neutralise any strong flavours, why not mix lots of nuts together.
Increases nutritional profile.

What would you say goes best with coffee? I don’t like plain almond milk but willing to try homemade. I love chocolate hazelnut milk and chocolate almond milk. I normally have soy milk with coffee.
xxAniko I tried my homemade almond milk in my coffee for the first time today and I was blown away by how good it was! I’ve never liked store-bought almond milk in my coffee but the homemade was amazing. When I made the almond milk I added a pinch of salt, a little vanilla extract and stevia glycerite. I won’t need to buy coffee creamer anymore!

I'm so glad you didn't add soy to this list because all soy in USA is GMO. This video was well put together, especially, about phytic acids in some and not in others. Well done.
Please educate yourself about GMOs, they are not harmful in any way, if anything they are beneficial. Waiting decades for artificial selection the old school way (like cross pollination) is not better than modern GMO technology, the same way as heating water by putting it out so the sun can heat it is not better than using gas on a stove or microwave or any other modern heating. Watch some of these czcams.com/video/tPZvAPSPAWE/video.html czcams.com/video/F6NysvmSVD8/video.html (playlist) czcams.com/video/u33HVIlx_bo/video.html GMO is saving our race, not hurting it.
@@OZSA87 please educate yourself about estrogenics caused by soy etc. and the downside to GMO's. Visit Dr. Bergman site (just for one) on this and the government studies that you can look up on this. I'm not discussing the studies funded by big pharma that have a vested interest that says these things are o.k. I'm talking about the government studies that prove the opposite. Documentation that anyone can look up. Dr. Bergman's site will show you where to look. These things big pharma don't what you to see and have tried to refute to save their bottom line just like Monsanto. They don't care how many kid's die just don't mess with their cash flow. Crooks. But, by all means, believe what you want. If you want to believe big pharma, go ahead. But, the jig is up and the truth is out. I personally hope no one has to suffer through misinformation and company lies. Government documents (unbiased) on this prove big pharmaceutical companies data is inaccurate as far as the truth is concerned. They are lying. Once you know big pharma got to go! Dump what don't promote your health; keep what does. The cats out of the bag, friend, I won't eat or take it; I know better now. Big pharma losses profits. They buy test results; they alter test results. The government has documented that as well. Look it up! Go to Dr. Bergman's site and I think you'll at least find it interesting if you have the nards; or not, your choice. But, the information is now out there. Shame on big pharma! Being modern does not make it healthy! I object to your faulty analogy. As if modern makes it fool proof. If we're going by modern so is Alzheimer's and Autism and Monsanto; so much for modern.
@@jenniferrice5877 you have fallen deep into it. Let me help you please. All I needed to do is google this "Dr. Bergman" and see his description on his own website. "Dr. Bergman is a one of a kind chiropractphotoor" it's even misspelled on the main page, that's hilarious but here, I can give you an easy to watch video from the same guy I linked in the first place, that will explain you what a chiropractor is czcams.com/video/1NYG40oa7Eg/video.html you can check it on wiki or any site online and see what a scam it is, it's actually dangerous. Please watch that video or at least start to watch it and then google this. I don't even know if I want to believe you are a bot or you are this deeply betrayed and brainwashed by scammers... to anyone who is reading this, please, GMO is good, soy is healthy and chiropractors are dangerous life threatening scammers. GMO is bad = 9/11 was an inside job = Monsanto is killing us = soy will give u manboobs these are all the same type of conspiracies.
I beg your pardon, but not all soy is GMO. Where are you getting this from?
@Jennifer Rice You are fully entitled to trust unfounded conspiracy theories, but some of us prefer actual science. And the best science shows that there's no problem with soy (at least in reasonable amounts), in fact it's quite healthful just like other legumes. And the current way in which GMOs are produced is one of the safest compared to other methods, has huge benefits and very few downsides. But if you (who obviously has no basic understanding of human biology or nutrition) choose to ignore the scientific consensus and listen to dangerous charlatans like Dr. Bergman, no one can help you. If you want to learn, the way to do that is from the bottom up. Acquire actual knowledge. Don't just buy into the first story a random fake doctor tells you. Or, if you can't or don't want to learn, at least look for the latest meta-analysis or official position of trustworthy sources.
You're not supposed to have more than a couple of Brazil nuts per day because they naturally contain high amounts of radiation.
