Three Best Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

It's not natural to drink the breast milk of another species. 

So naturally questions arose... I can't survive without a cup of tea or coffee, what am I supposed to do now?. Yes I want to turn Vegan but I like milk coffee, can you suggest an alternative?. I have turned vegan a week ago and now I am missing my tea, can you help me out of this? - YES.

Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

People need not depend upon the traditional dairy milk, as there are various plant-based milk options available and can be easily prepared at home. Plant-based milks are nutritious and tasty at the same time. People opt this world-wide considering animal welfare and environmental impact. A litre of cow's milk uses around 1050 litres of water to produce, where as a litre of soy milk uses around 297 litres of water to produce. Also, the greenhouse gas emission in the production of plant based milk is much lower than dairy milk. Since, it's clear that we have all good reasons to switch to plant-based milk, we will learn to prepare this easy at home.

Oat Milk - High fibre, low fat

Oat milk is light, creamy, nutritious and tasty. The high fibre content can help to regulate digestion. It takes hardly 10 to 15 minutes to prepare this perfect milk at home. Soak four cups of oats for 1 litre milk, tip - soak it in hot water to avoid the powdery texture. Take all the ingredients, oats, water, and (optional) any sweetener either two dates or vanilla essence will do, and blend for not more than half a minute. Double strain the mixture to avoid any sediments. Transfer the oat milk to a sealed container and store it in the fridge. 

 

Almond Milk - Highly nutritious, fewer calories

Almond milk is mild and nutty taste. It is a rich source of calcium and contains antioxidants that can have a protective effect against cancer and heart disease. All you need to prepare this milk is just almonds and water. Sweeteners like dates, maple syrup, sugar are optional. Soak one cup of almonds overnight, which makes the almonds soft and easier to peel and blend. Blend almonds and water together and double strain the milk. Fresh almond milk ready, and can be used for coffee as well. 

Soy Milk - A good source of protein and calcium

Soy milk is inexpensive and has a similar texture to cow's milk. Soy milk is also nutritionally similar to cow's milk. It contains isoflavones and phytosterols that can lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. You just need two ingredients to prepare soy milk at home. Soak the soybeans in water overnight. Drain the soybeans and remove the outer skins. Blend both soybeans and water until it's smooth. Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or a napkin. Soy is a legume and can't be eaten raw. Pour the milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stir occasionally and cook for about 20 minutes. Here's soy milk ready to be used in tea, coffee, to bake the cake.
