Best Milk Alternative

>>9269496
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.

Get unsweetened almond milk. It's fucking fantastic.

>>9269506
>when you need it
Nobody ever needs almond milk.

>>9269595
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.

>almond milk is trivially easy to make at home
the only almonds i have right now are pic related

also, i dont have a blender

>>9269496
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.

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.

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

>>9269496
Making your own almond milk is definitely the way to go. I add a few cashews as well for extra richness.

>>9269747
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.

>>9269790
sure, but i could have thai chili milk if you let me borrow your blender

>>9269496
I like unsweetened cashew milk the most.
I wouldn't buy cows milk at all anymore if puddings and custards didn't need the proteins in it in order to set.

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.

>>9269817
Panna Cotta is your friend here.

>>9269829
no you're my friend here

>>9269847
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.

>>9269680
It's milk.

We call pastes of peanuts and nuts butter.

You can hand this too, I believe in you anon.

>>9269496
Just stop consuming milk.

There is no such thing as "pus cells". Pus is composed of dead leucocytes and protein rich fluid. Also 135 million cells in a 12 ounce glass of liquid is basically nothing.

>>9270029
Cease your rationality and be horrified by the word pus, you filthy carnist!

>>9270012
>135 million cells in a 12 ounce glass


so... vegans are worried about eating 0.0000012% the weight of an average cow in dead cells?

>>9270012
>half a dick

>>9269767
no, not at all, and they never will.

>>9269496
Goat milk.

>not inventing the first sweet thai chili almond milk

its like you desperately want to fail financially

>>9269496
You need to activate your almond milk before drinking it.

Milk almond milk at home. Its easy and doesn't need sugar.

>>9269496
You can make almond milk at home by just putting some almond butter and water in a blender.

>>9269496
not sure if I'm being sarcastic or just retarded but I'm gonna say water

Flaxseed milk winds up tasting like whole milk but with the thinness of skim. So good.

>I drink almond milk because I don't want to harm any animals!
>150 some odd gallons of water to make a gallon of milk
>MORE THAN 900 FUCKING GALLONS OF WATER TO MAKE A SINGLE GALLON OF ALMOND MILK
>Absolutely horrible for the environment
>On top of that literally no nutritional value

>>9269569
This. I have converted to unsweetened vanilla Almond milk.

>>9271060
Almond milk holds no nutritional value.

Milk is healthy, bitch boy.

>>9270012
>appealing to the "yucky!" factor
Works every time

>>9269496
Well if you do decide to drink almond milk OP, it really is better to make your own instead of buying it since most almond milk in stores is basically just sugar water

>>9271063
tried that in my cereal, which led me to create this thread...

cereal + water = downthumb

>>9272214
OP here. Fuck the environment, and I'm eating a steak right now. So... thanks for a lesson in projecting, but

i dont know how to end that sentence
how bow dat

>>9269496
Why don't you want real milk?

>>9274708
never really liked milk much, and it never really made sense to me that it's something people drink. figured i'd give the other choices a shot.

>>9274598
I don't see how any of the things you said are relevant.

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.

Lay the land bare and empty the oceans for your colossal almond-megafarm for all I care.

>>9275366
>I don't see how any of the things you said are relevant.
This is THE single most intense example of irony I've ever witnessed.
Thank you anon.
