Whatever you may think about cow's milk, there's no denying that non-dairy milk is absolutely delicious. If you have never tasted the cool, creamy, nutty flavour of, say, almond milk you're missing out in life. One of my favourites is coconut milk - it's non-fattening, it keeps well in the fridge, it can be used as a compliment to any food just like regular milk, and it is so delicious that once tasted you will always want it.

Non-dairy milk can be made from nuts, seeds, grains, and soybeans. Once made, the milk can be stored in the fridge just like regular milk, or it can be frozen for future use.

There is a myth that to make non-dairy milk you need special milk-making apparatus and that it is a complicated process. The opposite is true! Making non-dairy milk requires no special equipment (just a regular kitchen blender). And you can make milk in just a few minutes if you have the ingredients to hand.

One of the main benefits of making non-dairy milk is that the ingredients can be stored at home almost indefinitely since the ingredients can be frozen without affecting the quality of the milk or the nutritional value. Consequently, you can make milk at home whenever you run low, plus you will save money compared to the cost of buying milk.

The biggest benefit of non-dairy milk has to be the health aspect. Pasteurized dairy milk is full of unhealthy things such as saturated fats, harmful galactose, cancer-causing hormones and mucus-forming casein, all of which cause illness in a variety of ways.

Milk-consumers who change over to non-dairy milk experience a great improvement in health and well-being after just a few days. Apart from benefiting form the better nutrition provided by plant-based milk, you also benefit by avoiding the harmful elements of dairy milk.

As all non-dairy milk is made from natural plant-based ingredients it is highly nutritious. Non-dairy milk is packed with minerals, vitamins, enzymes, health promoting oils, fibre, plant sterols that beat cholesterol, and other healthy nutrients. Whatever your culture, state of health, diet or lifestyle you truly cannot go wrong by consuming non-dairy milk.

But don't limit yourself to just soy milk and rice milk which you can buy in supermarkets. By making your own milk from ingredients that are easy and cheap to buy anywhere, you will enjoy wonderful new flavours and much improved nutrition.
