Thought almond milk, but turns out they just pump a bunch of sugar into it to compensate.

You know that almond milk is trivially easy to make at home, and the precursor, almond meal, keeps for months at room temperature? Just make the stuff when you need it.

Nobody needs any sort of liquid beyond water, but since people have been using almond milk since the 15th century, think you can probably go fuck yourself with a rusty potato peeler.

there is no alternative to milk. others should be called "juice" or "extract". however, try unsweetened chocolate almond milk, add some vanilla, stevia, malted milk powder. great flavor, then add ice and blend: chocolate milk shake, pretty low calorie. NOT healthier than milk, just different. there is no health food. all food in theory has calories. no calories=no health benefit.

I like oat, hemp, or rice the best, nutmilks are good but not my favourite. Soy is nasty.

They always fortify them with calcium and the only reason i drink them is b/c i can't have calcium in the morning with my medicine, so i have to avoid all dairy products. So i just make my own oat milk. It's not bad at all.

>> No.9269767

Do any of these work correctly in place of adding milk to eggs when beating for scrambled eggs? And in other recipes?

Maybe I need to still get a small thing of milk for cookery.

>> No.9269779

>>9269767
No. The effect on eggs specifically relates to dairy protein.

Making your own almond milk is definitely the way to go. I add a few cashews as well for extra richness.

You would have to go to the store regardless though, right? You wanted the 'best milk alternative' and were disappointed with store-bought almond milk. Presumably after /ck/ gave you some alternatives you'd have to go buy them right? So buy some fine ground almond flour from a catering supplier; it shouldn't cost more than about $8/pound if you're buying a kilo bag. You just mix it with hot (just off boiling) water and agitate regularly, then strain and press. No blender required.

>>9269764
Of these, oat milk is probably the only one you can make at home

>>9269767
>>9269779
Any high-fat substitute (mostly the nut or whole-seed milks) will work reasonably well. you can also melt butter into water and use that for scrambled eggs, which is almost indistinguishable if you can make good scrambled eggs. The dairy proteins are negligible, it is the fats that are important.

Oat is quite good imo. I consume dairy, but sometimes I'll get oat just for kicks. Doesn't work quite as well in coffee though.

If you're wanting to avoid gelatin then the best alternative is going to be k-carrageenan. This forms a very solid gel on exposure to potassium ions, which cashew nuts have plenty of. ι-carrageenan gels on exposure to calcium ions, of which cashew nuts have fuck-all.

At all.

I'm just annoyed by the irony of people thinking almond milk is more wholesome and """earth conscious""" because almonds, in spite of the fact that it's the exact opposite.
