We prepare the soy, oat and almond milk, delicious plant based recipe.
Today there are many healthy plant-based milk alternatives to cows’ milk including nut, seed, grain, soy, hemp and rice milk. These milk alternatives offer a much healthier, environmentally sustainable option without hurting animals. There are also many important reasons to consider not drinking conventional cows’ milk, including:
1. Antibiotics and painkillers routinely fed to cows, causing antibiotic resistance in humans.
2. Cows’ milk is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, two major contributors to heart disease and chronic
diseases.
3. Environmental externalities of water, waste and air pollution and animal agriculture is now considered one of
the largest contributors to climate change.
4. Significant, sustained cruelty and the inhumane treatment of cows on industrial factory farms.
5. Cows being forced to be chronically pregnant their entire lives to produce milk for humans.
6. Baby calves are taken from their mothers almost immediately after they are born, causing extreme grief,
depression and enormous suffering for the mother and calf for days.
7. Male calves are either slaughtered at birth or forced into becoming a calf for veal meat, and confined to living
in a tiny crate where they are chained and cannot move; are fed a drug-laced liquid diet unnatural to them (are
never allowed their mother’s milk); and have chronic diarrhea from eating a liquid diet through their 7-8 month
lifespan until they are slaughtered.
8. Numerous scientific research studies prove a strong link between consuming cows’ milk and dairy products
and several reproductive cancers including breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, as well as colon cancer
(linked to casein protein from cows’ milk).
9. Scientific research proving the link between dairy consumption and higher bone fractures; the higher the rate
of animal protein/dairy the higher the risk of bone fractures.
10.Scientific research proving the link between higher calcium intake through dairy consumption and a higher
rate of osteoporosis (exactly the opposite of what the dairy industry states).
You win in health and respect with these fantastic recipes of soy, oats and almond milk.

Oat milk
INGREDIENTS
1 cup rolled or quick oats (100 g)
3-4 cups water (750 ml – 1 l), depending on how thick you like your milk
Instructions
Soak the oats in water for at least 30 minutes.
We usually soak them overnight, but it’s not necessary. Drain the oats and wash them (discard the soaking water). Blend the oats with 3 to 4 cups of clean water (750 ml to 1 liter).
Strain the milk using a cheesecloth, a strainer, a napkin or a nut milk bag. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Soy milk
INGREDIENTS
½ cup yellow soybeans (80 grams)
4 cups water (1 liter)
½ teaspoon of homemade vanilla extract or a piece of vanilla bean (optional)
4 dates (optional)
Instructions
Soak the soybeans in water overnight for a minimum of 12 hours.
Drain the soybeans and remove the outer skins.
Blend the soybeans with 3 cups of water (750 milliliters) until well blended and almost smooth.
Strain the blended mixture using a cheesecloth, a napkin or a strainer.
Pour the mixture in a saucepan, add 1 cup of water (250 milliliters). Place the saucepan on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir and skim foam.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Let cool the soy milk. You can add other ingredients such as vanilla or dates. Blend the mixture if necessary.
Store the soy milk in a sealed container in the fridge for four or five days.
Almond milk
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup raw almonds (100 grams)
4 dates
2 cups water (500 milliliters)
Instructions
Soak the almonds in water overnight.
Drain, rinse and peel the almonds.
Blend the almonds, dates and water until well blended and almost smooth.
Strain the blended almond mixture using a cheesecloth or a strainer (we used a napkin).
Store the almond milk in a sealed container in the fridge for three or four days.
Ditch the dairy and enjoy the natural milks :)
