Why Non-Dairy Milk is So Much Better than Dairy
Russell Eaton
Whether or not you consume dairy milk, there's no denying that non-dairy milk is absolutely delicious. If you have never tasted the cool, creamy, nutty flavour of, say, pecan nut milk you're missing out in life. One of my favourites has to be coconut milk - it keeps well in the fridge, it's non-fattening, it can be used as a compliment to any food just like regular milk, and it is so delicious that once tried you will always want it.
Non-dairy milk can be made from nuts, seeds, grains, and soybeans. Once made, the milk can be stored in the fridge just like regular milk, or it can be frozen for future use.
There is a myth that making non-dairy milk is complicated and that you need special milk-making equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. Making non-dairy milk requires no special apparatus (just a regular kitchen blender). And if you have the ingredients to hand, you can make milk in less than ten minutes.
A big advantage of making your own milk is that you can store the ingredients at home almost indefinitely by using the freezer. The ingredients can be frozen without affecting their quality or nutritional value. This means you can make milk whenever you like. Additionally, you will save money compared to the cost of buying dairy or non-dairy milk.
The biggest benefit of non-dairy milk has to be the health aspect. Pasteurized dairy milk is full of unhealthy things such as saturated fats, harmful galactose, cancer-causing hormones and mucus-forming casein, all of which cause illness in a variety of ways.
Milk-consumers who switch to non-dairy milk experience a dramatic improvement in health after just a few days. So first you benefit by avoiding dairy milk, and second you benefit by enjoying the super-healthy nutrients of non-dairy milk.
As non-dairy milk is made from plant-based ingredients it is truly super-nutritious. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, health promoting oils and enzymes, plant sterols that beat cholesterol, fibre, and other healthy nutrients. Whatever your diet, culture, state of health, or lifestyle you simply cannot go wrong by enjoying non-dairy milk.
But don't limit yourself to just soy milk and rice milk which you can buy in supermarkets. By making your own milk from ingredients that are easy and cheap to buy anywhere, you will enjoy wonderful new flavours and much improved nutrition.
