It’s so simple to make creamy homemade nut or seed milk in 10 minutes! You can customize the flavor and sweetness to your liking!

Homemade nut & seed milk is my obsession! I didn’t realize it until I started this roundup post and realized HOW many recipes I have to make your own dairy free milk. Turns out, quite a lot 🙂

Whether you’re using this dairy free milk for cereal, pouring a glass to drink along with your dessert, or just adding a splash to your coffee in the morning, you’ll love these recipes!
