(yes, it even uses less water in water-scarce places)

I like oat milk. It tastes the best and it's one of the least environmentally impactful, I think

Easiest to make at home, no need to buy EXCEPT for convenience. You can also get calcium powder to add to what you make so..yeah. oat "milk" is the best really. Love it.

With all this said, I do love to taste of Horizon UHT whole milk that my kid drinks... Lol so if I forget to make my oat milk, I grab one of these.

The inconvenience really killed my drive to make it myself, so instead I got a plant milk maker. Haha. Paid for itself after about a year.

How does it work? I'd love to not have to buy oat milk anymore, but I've never had good results trying to make it at home.

It's pretty much a blender with a tank, a heating function and self-cleaning. It has different options for different type of plant milks, which (I suppose) change how much it heats the water and how long it blends everything. Which is pretty much what they do for the store bought oat milk as well.

What makes the biggest difference in taste though is not the maker itself (although it does make a difference) but using Amylase when you're done blending. It's an enzyme that breaks starch into sugar. Without it the oat milk will probably be pretty thick or even kind of slimy. As far as I know it is also used in store bought milk to give it a natural sweetness.

That's very intriguing! What brand/model milk maker did you buy?

[-] Magusbear@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I have a Springlane plantmilk maker. It was just under 200€. Can't speak for the brand in general but I have the maker since last year and I am still happy with it.

Almond milk would arguably be one of the better options if it weren't for the fact that 80% of the world's almonds are being grown in a desert going through a mega-drought.

I am using job's tears milk (soaking oats in, later adding fruits) as a breakfast.

Veganism is a scam and leads to malnutrition. Plant based milks are processed garbage and unhealthy.

[-] FarmerDrone@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I agree. I eat a lot of meat. But one day in the week I have oats with fruits as breakfast. Having no access to raw milk, i looked for replacement to soak the oats in. First a ricemilk, but after having found out it had some form of soy added, i dumped it. The job's tears is 100% pure. excellent replacement IMO.

Whoops was meaning to reply to the post rather than your comment. Hope you find a raw milk source. Recently lost my cow milk source so I know how that goes. Got some goat milk, but it's pricier not great for making butter.

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease

oat milk is the best I've ever had, it's the only one someone has given me and i didn't immediately identify it as not real milk

[-] wesley_cook@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago
