DIY Oat Milk

There’s no denying it, non-dairy alternatives aren’t the same as their dairy-counterparts. Not in texture or taste, but that’s okay – they aren’t made from dairy! The main perk of these products is that they don’t create a reaction in the body for those of us intolerant to dairy. 

While many dairy lovers (all personal responses I’ve heard) scoff at nut milk alternatives, quite a few have fallen in love with oat milk. It offers a much creamy texture than almond milk and has a subtle sweet nutty taste. 

DIY Oat Milk is great for two main reasons:

1. Store bought milks can be costly & making your own is a simple way to trim expenses
2. Avoiding exposure to food various food additives 

Point two is worth expanding on, but first, recipe time. 

What you’ll need:

• Blender
• Sieve (fine mesh strainer), cheese cloth, or some crafty AF skills
• Bowl
• Sealed container to store oat milk
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • If you’re gluten intolerant or celiac, make sure to pick up gluten-free oats. They are naturally gluten-free, but often processed on machinery that also processes wheat and other gluten-containing foods.
• 3 cups water + extra for soaking oats
•  Optional:
  • 2 dates, pitted
  • Pinch of pink himalyan sea salt
  • ¼-½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
