Homemade Flax Milk
I created this simple homemade flax milk recipe for Levels Health. So many store bought alternative milks have added sugar, oil and gums that really are not necessary. Making non-dairy, healthy milk at home with real food ingredients should be simple and delicious. Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup flax seeds
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a Vitamix or other powerful blender, add flaxseeds and water.
- Blend for several minutes until flax seeds are completely broken down.
- Add vanilla and blend again until mixed
- Using a fine mesh nut bag, pour the flax milk from the blender though the bag and into a large bowl, jug, or measuring cup. Squeeze tightly until all of the “milk” is now in the measuring cup.
- Store in a jar in the refrigerator until ready for use. Will keep 5-7 days.
