Have you ever tried making your own plant or nut milk? My motto is 'homemade is best' and this couldn't be more true than for plant-based milks. Benefits include:

Free from preservatives, fillers, added oils
No processed sugars
Superior nutritional profile with a higher percentage of nuts/seeds than you are likely to find in shop-bought versions
Maximum flavour (be sure to use quality ingredients)
Cheaper
No packaging and therefore a more sustainable and ethical choice

EQUIPMENT

Other than a high-power blender, I recommend getting a nut-milk bag. They are available online for just a few pounds and they will make the process much easier. There's a variety of materials available, but I prefer the compostable, sustainable bags made from cotton and hemp. The same bag can be used for yoghurt and cheese making, too.
