Experimenting With Seed Milks: 4 Rawsome Recipes

Experimenting With Seed Milks: 4 Rawsome Recipes

Plant-based milks have been increasing in popularity over the past few years. With the understanding that dairy products may be doing more harm to the body than good, people are experimenting with a variety of plant-based dairy alternatives. Not only are plant-based dairy alternatives nutrient dense, but they are also delicious and easier for the body to process, provided you aren’t buying the ones that contain added sugars and flavorings.

In case you haven’t noticed, we have been posting a lot of plant-based dairy alternative recipes. Many of these dairy-free recipes contain nuts, and we recognize that there are many people out there with nut allergies. There is no reason that people, who have nut allergies and want to cleanse, should have limited diets. This is where our seed-based, nut-free recipes will become your best friends.

The instructions for how to make seed milks and nut milks are exactly the same. Both nuts and seeds have to be soaked in water for several hours, drained, then blended with water, and strained through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. They stay the freshest if kept in an airtight glass jar or bottle in the fridge. It is recommended to consume them within five days. Below you’ll find four seed milk recipes and instructions. We hope you like them!
