Plant-based milks...

We drink plant-based milk at home.

But it's very easy to make this option less healthy than regular cow's milk... Just look at the ingredient list of some plant-based milks that are for sale!

For this reason - and due to budget constraints - we make some milk at home! The ones we make most often are coconut, almond, and oat milk... sometimes we make mixtures and add dates, peanuts, cinnamon, etc. to enhance the flavor!

We also buy ready-made plant-based milk, choosing the brands based on the ingredient list! The kids really like rice milk!

Today we made coconut milk because we're going to make some dishes that call for plant-based milk!

Homemade milk lasts about 3 days in the refrigerator, however at home we usually consume it all on the same day, or at most the next day!

We're far from having a super, hyper, mega healthy diet – in fact, that's not even our goal! – but we try to eat mindfully and find the balance!
