You don’t have to be vegetarian or lactose intolerant to prefer plant-based milks. Many people opt for these alternative milks as a way to lower their carbon footprint. Plant-based milks are a sustainable option for environmentally-minded drinkers, and homemade versions are even more eco-friendly.

 

As a family we have been drinking plant based nut milks for over eight years. We started off with the store bought nut milks until I got fed up with all the additives and thickeners inside (carrageenan, sunflower lecithin, etc.) I also didn’t like the fact that often they came in  plastic lined cartons, something that  is not easily recyclable. I then went down the journey of making my own nut milk, but with the very best intentions it was not something that was sustainable being a busy mum of two. Last year I discovered something that was a total game changer for me.

 

Let me introduce you to the ALMOND COW. It’s a machine that makes nut and seed milks in just a matter of minutes with minimum fuss and cleaning.
