1 tsp. Stevia Powder
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
And 1 Tbs. of Cocoa powder for Chocolate Milk.
Pinch of Sea Salt.
Blend or Food Process for 2 minutes on high.

| Oat Bran leftovers strained out of liquid can be frozen and used in future cookies, pie crusts, etc. |
Great substitute for Soy, Nut or Coconut Milk and at about .20 per 8oz. glass? Great savings as well.
Leave out the sweetener and you've got a milk for cooking savory sides with added nutrition.

Flax Seed Milk
All great alternatives to Cow's Milk and much less expensive overall.
Plus you can keep the dry ingredients for months, years and always have a source on hand
to mix up some milk without spoiling or additives.

I have made Oat milk before. Can't remember if I liked it or not, probably because I am not really picky. I do make almond milk when I run out and am in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteYou just made me want to go out and make myself a smoothie with the almond milk in my fridg.
Great for you Terry. I like almond milk best too but almonds are about 5 x's the price. This oat milk is nice and creamy with no side tastes going on. Let me know if you try it again ;-)
DeleteI have recently had to cut out dairy due to a lactose intolerance. very excited to try this and use up the insane amount of oats I have in my food storage! thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have not gotten into my food storage oats YET, but it's nice to know how to make this milk and not have to store so much powdered milk. When I stopped Dairy, I was glad that I would have a way to store 'milk' now. Still miss cheese though. Hope you like the milk. It's one you can play with a lot to make it your way.
ReplyDeleteAre you making any other nut milks already?
Thanks! Please let me know if you try out the milk and how it works for you! Have a great day ;-)
