How to Make Your Own Nut Milk
How to Make Your Own Nut Milk
Make the best nut milk ever. No preservatives. 25% almonds. So easy. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do this before! You choose the nuts – you can even use rolled oats to make oat milk if you prefer. You will need: nuts, water, salt, a professional strength blender and a nut milk bag
- OmniBlender
- Nut milk bag
- Wire strainer
- Large pyrex jug (or similar)
- Glass bottle (for storage)
- 1 cup raw nuts of your choice (or a mix of nuts (try throwing in a few Brazils to make sure you get some selenium))
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 cups water (plus extra for soaking the nuts)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence (opt)
-
Soak overnight; 1 cup raw nuts of your choice
-
Discard the soak water, then put the soaked nuts, 1/4 tsp of salt, vanilla essence (if using) and 4 cups of water into your Omniblender. Put the lid on.
- Blend for 60 seconds.
-
Put the nut milk bag into your large (at least 1 litre capacity) jug. Pour the blended almond mix through a sieve. Press the solids with the back of a spoon. Hang the bag to let it drain. Squeeze to get as much liquid out as possible.
-
Transfer to a glass bottle and refrigerate. Use within 3 days.
TIPS: freeze your nut milk in ice-cube trays. Freeze the nut meat and use to make almond-based cookies or cakes when you have enough saved up. Nothing gets wasted.
1 cup of almond milk, made as above, will give 12.6 g of protein.

Normally people poop 1 to 3 times a day. This should be soft and easy, not urgent, loose, or crampy. Constipation happens when your large intestine absorbs too much water from your poop, drying it out. This makes it hard and difficult to pass. There are many reasons a person might get constipated.
