Plant Based Milk - DIY Almond Milk & Oat Milk

Going plant based is all the rage right now but part of the challenge of a plant based diet is finding substitute for dairy! Fortunately there are a lot of options these days. One of my favorite brands is Ripple - here are a few of their products. Also, I want to share with you 2 simple recipes that you can make in your Vitamix - Almond Milk & Oat milk. Easy peasy!

Recipes from this episode:
Special Equipment Needed:

Vitamix (or other high-powered blender)
Ellie's Best Nutmilk Bag (find on Amazon or elliesbest.com)
Pitcher
Mason Jar or other storage container

Almond Milk:
50 Raw Almonds, soaked overnight, drained & rinsed
1 Heaping TBSP Organic Coconut Oil
1 Pinch of Sea Salt
4 C Water

Soak your almonds the night before - 8 hrs or so. (Or you can cut the time in 1/2 by pouring boiling water to cover & let sit for 4 hrs)
Add all ingredients to your vitamix container. Always start on low & ramp up to highest setting. Let it run for 5 min. Meanwhile, fit nutmilk bag over pitcher so the top of the bag folds over the rim of the pitcher. After the 5 min, pour the milk through the bag into the pitcher. Careful - it'll be super hot. When it's cool enough to handle, squeeze all the liquid out. Pour into mason jar & store in fridge. Dont' forget to give it a shake before using as it naturally separates as it cools.
Note: I never waste the pulp! Use it in bread, cookies or muffins. Go to my website to see a cookie recipe for Almond Pulp Cookies ;-)

Oat Millk Recipe:
1 C organic rolled oats
1 pinch of sea salt
4 C Water (you can always add more water if you want a thinner consistency)

About 5-10 min prior to making your milk, pour boiling water over oats just to cover, this will help them plump up a bit (you could soak them but I don't think it's necessary)
Add oats, salt & water to vitamix container & run for 1 min (always start low & ramp up to highest speed). Strain in nutmilk bag over pitcher & make sure to squeeze out all the liquid. This will take just a bit more work than the almond milk but you don't want to miss all the creamy goodness - lol. Transfer to mason jar & Enjoy!
