Lets talk Plant Based Living for a moment.

Without getting into a great debate we know that a more plant base diet is better for the planet. With this there has been a rising trend to plant-based cafe’s and restaurants [Our Favourite being Lexi’s eatery], Plant-Based recipes and ready made meals in stores.

Lucky for us we stock just about everything you need when it comes to your beans & pulses, grains, seeds & nuts to name a few. So we thought what better way to add to this lifestyle than with Plant-Milk Bag [also used for sprouting].

Get all the goodness with your morning milk* from your nuts, oats or whatever kind of milk your after really 🙂

Here is a recipe by Alani Keiser who is a Plant-Based Diet & Lifestyle Consultant who has brought out her own range of hand made, South Africa Plant Milk Bags.

DIY Plant Milk

You will need:

1 Cup Raw Cashews / Almonds / Nut of your choice

1.5Litres Purified water

Preparation:

  • Soak your cashew nuts in 500ml of water overnight.
  • The next day, strain the old water and rinse.
  • Place in a blender and add 1 Litre of purified water and blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
  • Using your Plant Milk Bag and bowl, pour the cashew water into the bag, over the bowl.
  • Using a funnel, pour the cashew water [milk] that is in the bowl, into a glass bottle.
  • Don’t discard the cashew nut pulp…. you can use it to make a creamy salad dressing or biscuits 🙂
