From Me
Hi there,
You probably know by now that there are a lot of options when it comes to
non-dairy milks. Rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, cashew milk,
oat milk, coconut milk, and more are easy to make with your Thermomix®.
Using non-dairy milk is a no-brainer for those who are lactose intolerant or
those who prefer to avoid animal products. And with so many options, how do
we know what sort of non-dairy milk to choose?
Deciding on the best non dairy milk can be challenging. That’s why in this
guide, I’ll share with you how to make your own non-dairy milk and what
recipe fits best for you and your family.
Whether you’re looking for an alternative that has anti-inflammatory

properties, or something that’s lower in fat, there’s always an
option for you that’s based on your needs and preferences.
So, if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make your own

dairy-free milk at home with your Thermomix®, I’m
here to help you!
It’s time to save money on your non-dairy milks, plus

control what’s in your milk from the amount of
sweeteners to eliminating preservatives. Our nut milk
recipes are also the perfect basis for making your own
non-dairy yoghurts.
Let us treat you with our guide in making non dairy milks. Enjoy!
Love,
Going dairy-free? A rise in lactose intolerance and vegan diets probably has a lot to do with dairy-free milks being
more popular these days. But what are these milk alternatives? Don’t worry, there are more options than you ever
know when it comes to lactose-free milk. More and more people are going for non-dairy milk because of allergies,
specific health conditions, or changing to a vegan lifestyle.
Picking the right non dairy milk for your needs can be difficult. We have all the information you need to make the
right decision based on your dietary requirements and personal preferences.
The first thing you need to know is that these milk alternatives can be used in your recipes and are also delicious to
drink hot or cold. They can be very affordable and easy to prepare and they offer something new by way of flavour
(almond-milk smoothies or cashew-milk ice cream are delicious).
Using what’s in your Pantry

Having the ability to turn a pantry staple into a milk alternative is so convenient. Particularly if you’re in need of
milk, but have no time to go to the supermarket. You can still make soup, curry, lattes, smoothies or pancakes in
no time.
However, you should know that some non-dairy milk alternatives can contain excess sugar and may lack calcium
and essential fats that your kids need for growth. Nevertheless, as part of a balanced diet, milk alternatives have
their place.
There are quite a few non-dairy milk alternatives

available, and most have different characteristics for
drinking and cooking. Try a variety to figure out which
tastes you like and suits you best - most are quite unique.
You’ll love our non-dairy milks so much, you might just
stop drinking cow’s milk altogether!

Cashew Milk
Cashew milk is made from a combination of cashew nuts or cashew butter
and water. It’s rich and creamy and has a sweet nutty flavor. It’s perfect for
thickening smoothies, as a substitute for cow’s milk in desserts or as a creamer
in coffee.
In the process of making cashew milk, the nut pulp is strained. Meaning the
protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the whole cashew are gone.
Cashew milk has less than a third of cow’s milk calories, half the fat, and fewer
carbohydrates and protein than cow’s milk.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is made from the white flesh of coconuts and water. It has a
rich texture and a sweet, yet slight taste of coconut. This type of milk provides
one-third of cow’s milk calories, half of the fat and slightly less protein and
carbohydrates.
Coconut milk reportedly has the least protein and carbohydrate levels of
non-dairy milk. This may not be the best choice for those who have higher
protein needs, but it should fit those trying to reduce their carb intake.
Hemp Milk
Hemp milk is extracted from Cannabis sativa - the seeds of the hemp plant. It
has a sweet, nutty taste and a fine, watery feel and goes best as a replacement
for lighter milk, like skim milk.
Hemp milk contains a comparable amount of fat but only half of the calories
and protein of cow’s milk. It also has slightly fewer carbohydrates than dairy
milk.
Rice Milk
Rice milk is made of white or brown rice, milled with water. As with other
non-dairy milks, thickeners may also be present to enhance texture and taste.
Rice milk is sweet in taste and rich in flavour. It has a somewhat watery texture
and is perfect to drink in smoothies, sweets, and porridge.
Rice milk provides a comparable amount of calories but nearly double the
carbohydrates than cow’s milk. Also, it contains slightly less protein and fat
than dairy milk.
4
Soy Milk
Soy milk is produced from either soybeans or soy protein isolate and often
contains vegetable oils, thickeners and sugar to enhance it’s flavour and texture.
The taste is usually mild and creamy. However, the taste can vary from brand to
brand. Soy milk works best in savoury dishes as a replacement for cow’s milk.
Soy milk is a close, non-dairy replacement for cow’s milk when it comes to
nutrition. It holds a similar amount of protein but about half the number of
calories, fats, and carbs.
Almond Milk
Almond milk is produced with whole almonds/almond butter and water. It
has a soft texture and a slightly nutty taste. It is ideal to use with coffee and tea,
combined in smoothies and used in desserts and pastries as a replacement for
cow’s milk.
It has less than a quarter of calories relative to cow’s milk, and much less than
half of the fat. The protein and carbs are also slightly lower.
This is one of the lowest-calorie milk substitutes available and is a fantastic

choice for those who want or need to minimize the number of calories they
consume.
Quinoa Milk
Quinoa milk is made from quinoa and water. The whole grain of quinoa is full
of nutrients, gluten-free and packed in high-quality protein. Although quinoa
has become a very prominent “superfood” in past years, quinoa milk is
relatively new to the scene.
Quinoa milk is mildly nutty and has a distinguishable taste of quinoa. This is
best used on cereal and in porridge.
Oat Milk
Oat milk is produced from a combination of oats and water in it’s purest form.
Nonetheless, other additional ingredients like gums, oils, salt, and sugar are
often added to create the flavour and consistency consumers crave.
This is tasty and mild in flavour, and can be used in the same manner as cow’s
milk and tastes amazing with smoothies or cereal. Oat milk offers a comparable
amount of calories to cow’s milk, close to twice the number of carbs and only
quarter the amount of fat and protein.
5
Preference and Suitability
Cow’s milk is not always the best option for everyone when it comes to preferences or health conditions. There are
many factors you may mean you want a substitute, like:
• Milk allergy: about 3% of children under three years of age are allergic to diary milk. This can result in a
range of symptoms including rashes, vomiting, diarrhoea and extreme anaphylaxis. Over 80% of children
outgrow this reaction by age 16.
• Lactose intolerance: A large number population is lactose intolerant. Lactose is a type of sugar
present in cow’s milk. Lactose intolerance comes about when individuals have a lactase deficiency, the
enzyme that metabolizes lactose. Symptoms can include abdominal cramps, bloating and diarrhoea.
• Personal preferences: People who choose to eliminate animal products from their intake, and this includes
cow’s milk.
What to Consider When Substituting

With such a broad range of non-dairy milks accessible in supermarket store shelves, knowing which one is better
for you can be difficult to say.
Here are some main things to keep in mind:
• Added sugar: Sugar is often used to improve the texture and taste. Go with unsweetened versions, and try to
avoid products that list sugar in the list of ingredients.
• Calcium content: Cow’s milk is loaded in calcium which is essential to strong bones and osteoporosis
prevention. It is often added to fortify many non-dairy milks, so it is recommended to choose a non-dairy
milk that includes at least 120mg of calcium per 100ml.
• Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is present abundantly in animal products and is important to a healthy immune
system and brain functions. Those who restrict or exclude animal products from their diets should select
milk supplemented with B12.
• Cost: Non-Dairy milk often costs more than cow’s milk. Try creating plant-based milk at home to save
expenses. One drawback to producing your own milk, however, is that it’s low on calcium and vitamin B12.
• Additives: Several non-dairy milks use additives to accomplish a thick and smooth texture, like carrageenan
and vegetable gums. Although these chemicals are not inherently harmful, some people prefer to avoid them.
• Dietary needs: Many people may have reactions or intolerances to other foods, such as nuts, gluten, and soy,
found in plant-based milk. When you have an intolerance or reaction, be sure to check the labeling.
