Plant Milk Guide

How to replace dairy milk? You will see it is so easy ! Plus super healthy for us, much better for the animals and the environment. If you are curious and on a path towards more plant-based options in your diet, you can find in this guide all instructions to make your own delicious plant-based milk…Enjoy ! 🙂

Producing it´s own plant-based milk instead of buying it at the grocery store takes more time, but it’s cheaper and in a household that consumes milk daily avoids too much unnecessary and non-recyclable plastic or tetrapak cartons.
Making a conscient choice as a consumer and having plant-based milk for your breakfast brings a lot´s of benefits – especially for our health since it is free of antibiotics and hormones.
Also we break the vicious cruelty chain of the dairy industries!
Nowadays the sad life of a milk cow is a never ending circle of artificial insemination, pregnancy, separation of her child within the first 24 hours after birth and subsequently artificial insemination within 3 month – again and again and again – until being culled at 6 years old. So sad – isn´t it? I hope you also would like to change towards something better like I do…
And imagine…
This change can start only with a handful of selected organically grown seeds …
How wonderful is this?
Enjoy the recipes and have a nice day.


Nutrition: Milk and Calcium

Unhulled Sesame seeds are containing 783 mg of calcium per 100 g, nearly 100% of our recommended daily intake of 1000 mg. That’s almost 7 times more than contains dairy milk with 120 mg of calcium per 100 ml.

Other foods that you can add into your diet with a high amount of calcium are:

Nettle, Chia seeds, calcium-rich mineralwater, almonds, hazelnuts, kale, lin seeds, arugula, tofu, broccoli…

Important: Vitamin D helps your body effectively absorb calcium – means calcium can only reach its full bone-building potential if your body has enough vitamin D. Also do not intake high-dose iron supplements 2h before or after your calcium rich meal.


So let´s go here are all the recipes. You just need a mixer and a nutmilkbag or even a french press and are ready to become a plant-milk specialist !

Eat before: All milks can be stored in a glassbottle in the fridge for minimum 3 days.
Low waste: Don´t throw away the nut- milk pomace. You can transform it into spreads or cookies.

while keeping an eye on it. (Be careful: it boils over very quickly!)
-Purée again finely with the blender and bring to the boil again, stirring constantly.
-Repeat the whole process a third time (the finer the better, which is why using a blender is an advantage, but it also works with a hand blender).
-Allow the milk to cool briefly, and filter it through a nut milk bag into a kitchen bowl.
-Twist the bottom of the bag until finally only the coarser bits remain = okara (which can be used for spreads).
-Pour the milk into a glass bottle.
