Rice milk

Rice milk has been around for ages! And you’ll be surprised by the different ways people use this plant-based milk. The thin consistency of the drink is perfect to use in smoothies or to loosen up a sauce or salad dressing. Rice milk was also one of the first dairy-free bases to be made into ice cream – yum!

Almond milk 

This dairy alternative is so popular that you can find it in any supermarket as well as your favourite coffee shops. Almond milk’s naturally creamy texture makes it a delicious addition to smoothies, cereal, tea or coffee. Plus, it’s a great source of vitamin E!

Soy milk 

Soy milk is a popular alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or just prefer dairy alternatives. Like cow’s milk, it’s rich, thick and creamy – making it a just-as-yummy preference in your morning latte. It’s packed with high-quality protein and is often fortified with calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.  

Make yours at home with just two ingredients: 

@wendythefoodscientist This is the purest soy milk you’ll ever taste. Fresh, creamy, rich — made with just soybeans and water, the way it should be. Ever since I was a kid, fresh soy milk has been one of my favorite drinks. And honestly? Nothing store-bought ever comes close. As a food scientist, I can tell you: Heating the milk properly is essential — it removes the raw beany taste and makes the proteins easier to digest. No thickeners, no stabilizers, just real soybeans doing what they do best. And don’t throw away the okara (the pulp)! It’s full of fiber and protein — perfect for cookies, banana bread, or savory fritters. My favourite! Once you taste fresh soy milk — hot or cold — you’ll never want store-bought again. Save for later and follow me for more better foods from scratch Homemade soy milk (2L) Ingredients: – 200 g dried soybeans – At least 600 ml water for soaking – 2 L fresh water for blending Method: 1⃣ Rinse the soybeans well and soak them overnight in plenty of water. They should double in size. 2⃣ Drain the soaked soybeans and blend them with 2 liters of water until smooth. 3⃣ Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag to separate the milk from the pulp. 4⃣ Bring the strained soy milk to a gentle boil in a large saucepan. 5⃣ Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking or burning. 6⃣ Let cool slightly. Serve fresh, or store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Tip: Save the okara (the leftover pulp)! It’s packed with fiber— perfect for cookies, banana bread, or savory fritters. #soymilk #fromscratch #vegancooking ♬ More of My Time (Lofi) – Muspace Lofi

Oat milk 

Move over soy- and almond milk: Oat milk is the fresh face in the plant-milk crowd. Enjoyed by many (arguably by the same people who also love the very trendy matcha latte), this rich toasty and mildly flavoured drink has become popular in recent years. It’s not only delicious, but is high in fibre and protein, which aids digestion.
