Dairy And Non-dairy Milk Compared
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 a whole range of nuts, grains, seeds and soybeans. The milk can then be stored in the refrigerator just like dairy milk (or it can be frozen for future use).
Making non-dairy milk is very simple and quick, and you do not need special milk-making equipment. All you need is a regular blender (liquidizer). If you have the ingredients available, you can make non-dairy milk in less than ten minutes.
One of the main benefits of making non-dairy milk is that the ingredients can be stored at home almost indefinitely since the ingredients can be frozen without affecting the quality of the milk or the nutritional value. Consequently, you can make milk at home whenever you run low, plus you will save money compared to the cost of buying milk.
But perhaps the biggest benefit of non-dairy milk is the health aspect. Cow’s milk is full of substances such as cancer-causing hormones, saturated fats, harmful galactose, and mucus-forming casein, all of which impair health in a variety of ways.
Milk-consumers who change over to non-dairy milk experience a great improvement in health and well-being after just a few days. Apart from benefiting form the better nutrition provided by plant-based milk, you also benefit by avoiding the harmful elements of 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.
