About
When shopping for the best plant-based milk for Keto, finding the perfect low-carb option that contains no additives, is affordable, and tastes good can be overwhelming. The alternative is making your Keto-friendly milk from scratch, which is easy and requires less than 10 minutes of active cooking time.
How to prepare this Keto walnut milk?
Simply soak the nuts in water overnight and blend them the following day. Strain them using a fine mesh strainer or a strainer with a cheesecloth laid inside to result in delicious, creamy walnut milk.
Can you use this Keto milk in other recipes?
Absolutely! You can use this Keto nut milk in many recipes, including chia puddings, Keto granola, smoothies, and pancakes. It is also great in baked goods such as cakes and bread. However, we don’t recommend using this Keto walnut milk for preparing cultured foods such as yogurt or cheese.
Can you apply the same method with other types of nuts?
Yes, you can. As long as you use raw nuts, you can prepare whatever low-carb milk you like. Examples include almond milk, hazelnut milk, cashew milk, and macadamia nut milk. For a nut-free version, you can use sunflower seeds.
What can you do with the leftover walnuts after straining?
You can bake the walnut pulp until it dries and resembles nut flour. You can then use it in many recipes like Keto cookies, energy balls, or breakfast bars.
Ingredients
- 2 cup walnuts
- 48 fluid ounce water
Instructions
- Place the walnuts in a bowl and pour water over them. Make sure the water covers the walnuts completely (this is completely separate from the 48 fluid ounces of water in the recipe). Soak walnuts overnight in water.
- Drain the water from the walnuts. Place them in a blender and add 6 cups of water. Blend on high for 1 ½ minutes.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Alternatively, line a regular strainer with cheesecloth and pour the liquid through. Chill milk thoroughly and enjoy!
