Making your own plant milk is actually so easy! Just a few simple ingredients, a powerful blender and voila! Homemade, delicious plant milk : )
~Vegan & Gluten-Free~
Ingredients:
24 Raw almonds
1/4 cup Rolled oats
1/2 tsp Vanilla
4 cups Filtered water
In a high powered blender like a Vitamix or Ninja blender, add all ingredients and blend on high until smooth (~3-5 minutes). Enjoy! Store in fridge in airtight glass container for up to 5 days.
You may find some particles sinks to the bottom of the glass (depending on how long you blend for), if you don't like this, you can always take extra time to strain the liquid with a milk cloth. The settled bits are healthy to eat too so I suggest enjoying this part and its added nutrients! If there is quite a bit of settled particles you can also add a bit more filtered water to thin it out and continue to consume the rest.
Makes about 4 1/2 cups of plant milk

Oats
This lovely grain is high in dietary fibre and nutrients such as magnesium, selenium, iron and phosphorus.
Are Oats Gluten-Free?
Oats are considered part of the gluten grains family as they do contain a gluten protein. Although the gluten protein found in oats does differ in molecular structure to that of wheat, it is therefore not truly considered a gluten-free grain! This differing molecular structure allows for easier digestion than the gluten protein found in wheat. So, those sensitive to wheat gluten can usually tolerate oats well where as those sensitive to gluten proteins in general should avoid oats. So, I classify my recipes with oats as the main grain as wheat-free not gluten-free!
