How to Make Non Dairy Milk ‣‣ 4 amazing ways!

Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Alyssa. Today, I have got a really exciting video. I'm gonna show you how to make plant milk four different ways. That's eight, but four different ways. I have got a almond milk, a cashew milk, an oat milk, and a delicious hemp and coconut milk. So I can't wait to share this recipe with you. I am actually sharing today's video in collaboration with Almond Cow. And if you've never heard of Almond Cow, it is incredible. They have a machine that makes nut milk so easy. Like literally, it could not be easier to make nut milk at home or any plant milk, really. And what I personally love about Almond Cow is that it is incredibly easy to use. It's fast, like it can make nut milk in about two minutes. It is also easy to clean, and it is incredibly budget-friendly. Almond milk can range up to $4, sometimes even more, at the store for like a 64-ounce container of almond milk, or really any kind of plant milk. And the ones that are strictly almond or nut and water tend to be even more expensive than that. You can use Almond Cow and get that same amount of milk in about 55 cents. So it's incredibly budget-friendly, definitely worth the investment. I love mine. And the beauty of it is that you can have delicious plant milk in pretty much any variety you could think of. Like I said, today we're doing almond, cashew, oat, and a hemp coconut, but you could also use rice. You could use quinoa. There is like no end to possibilities. It's amazing. And it also is sustainable because there are tons of ways that you can use the pulp, and there aren't any wasteful cartons or anything like that. Just use a reusable jar. And lastly, another amazing thing, as you can tell, I'm like obsessed with this product. Another amazing thing about Almond Cow is that it's only two ingredients. It's just the nut or the grain that you're using and water. No fillers, no additives, no sugar, no gum, no junk. It is pure, clean, delicious, and it tastes incredible. So I'm gonna show you how to use your Almond Cow four different ways. We're gonna make four different plant milks, like I said. And if you are interested in learning more about Almond Cow, I actually have a coupon code. You can use Simply Quinoa to get $15 off your purchase. So I've linked them down below. So without further ado, let's go ahead and dive into today's recipes. And then at the end, I'll be back sharing a little bit more about Almond Cow and also some ideas for using your nut pulp. So the first thing I wanna do is show you what the Almond Cow is and the different components. So this is the main Almond Cow base. This is where you're gonna add in your water. You also have the stainless steel filter basket, and this is where you're gonna add your nuts, your seeds, your grains, and then attaching that filter basket to the top. And this is what the top looks like. It also has the blade, which is where the filter basket connects, and that is how it's going to get ground into its milk. So super simple, and I'm gonna show you how easy it is to use. So we're gonna use Almond Cow's cashew pieces in our first recipe, which is just a simple cashew milk. We're gonna fill the filter basket up to the one cup line. We are then going to attach the filter basket to the top. Once it is secure, I'm going to fill the Almond Cow base with water up to the midline, which is about five cups of water. Put the top on the base and then press the button. From there, the Almond Cow will turn on, and it's gonna go through three different cycles of grinding. It will pause, and then it will regrind, and it will pause one more time, and then it will regrind. And once it goes through those stages, your cashew milk is done. So you can just remove the top from the base, and I let it drain just a little bit to let any excess liquid go back into the main base. And then you can just enjoy your milk. This is their glass almond milk jar, which I think is so cute. I love that their logo is on it. And this is the cashew milk, so it's nice and creamy. It's a little bit on the thicker side. So great for baking, so good with cereal or granola in the morning, and just kind of neutral. It's one of my favorites. Next, we are going to make a vanilla almond milk. We're gonna use Almond Cow's almonds here. Again, we're gonna fill the filter basket to the one cup line, and these are just raw almonds. Add your water into your base, and then add just a splash of vanilla and a sprinkle of sea salt. Then top your base with your top, and once the light turns green and you plug it in, you can press the little Almond Cow button on top. And again, the Almond Cow will go through three automatic stages of the milk-making process. And then I remove the top, I let it drain a little bit, and I just wanna show you the texture of this and how you can see that there is no pulp remaining in the milk itself. And then just pour it into your jar. And if you wanted to make this a tiny bit sweet, you could also add a touch of maple syrup, but I love the vanilla in baking, I love it in pancakes, and it's also just really good to drink with some chocolate chip cookies. The third one I'm gonna make is a classic oat milk, and they sell their own whole grain oats, and actually whole grain oats are great for oat milk, and it works so beautifully in the Almond Cow. P.S., love that their bags are sustainable and not made from plastic. And then I'm gonna pour the oat groats, or whole grain oats, into the filter basket. And you can see here, that's what oats look like, in case you didn't know. And then you can attach the filter basket to the Almond Cow top. Again, add your water in to your base. And again, we're gonna fill it to the min line, which is about five cups. Add the top directly onto the base, press your button, and again, it will go through the three automatic stages of the milk-making process. Remove the top, and you'll see here how much extra liquid just kind of drains off. So I let that drain off, and then it comes with this little plastic holder for the top so that it can continue draining while you pour the rest into your jar. And of course, oat milk is like super trendy right now, but for good reason, because it's super delicious. But what I love about this recipe is that it doesn't use any of the quote-unquote junk, I will say, that other oat milks have. A lot of oat milk recipes contain gums and fillers and oils and just things that I find not necessary, and this oat milk using the Almond Cow is so creamy and delicious, and it would also be easy to make with other flavors. I also wanted to quickly show you the pulp that came from the oat milk. So you can see here, this is the leftover pulp, and you can use pulp a bunch of different ways. They have some recipes on their site, but you can use it in baking, you can use it in granola, you can use it for cereal, you can use it in your oatmeal or overnight oats, it's really versatile and it doesn't need to go to waste. And then lastly, we're gonna make a hemp and coconut milk. We are going to use Almond Cow's coconut shreds as well as some hemp seeds. And again, we're just going to add the ingredients into the filter basket. I'm doing half a cup of hemp seeds, half a cup of coconut shreds, and then I will attach the filter basket to the top again, just kind of like making sure that it's flat and even in the little filter basket. Fill your Almond Cow with water to the midline again, which again, five cups. Pop the top on the base, press that little Almond Cow button, and again, for the last time I'll say, let it go through its three automatic stages. And from there, you will have beautifully delicious, creamy hemp coconut milk. The beauty of adding coconut into any of these mixes is that it makes it so creamy, it adds a little bit of fat to the texture, which I find to be very satisfying and again, really amps up that creamy texture. And this is one of my favorite milks. I sometimes will add vanilla to it, sometimes I'll add a little bit of sweetness, but it works deliciously with cereal or in baking or in my pancakes or in my oatmeal. And hemp obviously has a little bit of protein in it, which is so great. So this is definitely a winner and one that I absolutely think you should try. And there you have it, my friends. That is how to make nuts slash plant milk four different ways. I am so excited for you to try these recipes. If you've never made homemade nut or plant milk at home, you are going to be blown away by the flavor. It tastes so good. It is like flavorful, but it's creamy and smooth and just delicious. And the almond cow, as you can see, is crazy simple to make. It really takes about two minutes, less than two minutes to make a whole jug of your favorite milk. And you can use pretty much any ingredient that you can think of, whether it's a nut or a grain. So there are tons of different ways. This is just four of my favorites, and I hope you give it a try. If you do wanna get your hands on almond cow, I highly recommend it. If you are somebody who is dairy-free or vegan, this is going to save you a ton of money over the long run. And like I mentioned, it is saving you from getting the kind of almond milk that uses a bunch of fillers or gums or additives or preservatives. You don't have any of that with the almond cow. It's just pure, clean, deliciousness. So if you do wanna try it, you can use my coupon code, which is simply quinoa. It's linked down below, and that will get you $15 off your almond cow purchase.
