Oat Milk
I’ve been playing with some of the Medical Medium’s cleanses and protocols, meaning I’ve been a little more mindful about when I’m consuming fats (particularly in the morning).
This means I’ve decided to sub my usual almond milk in smoothie bowls with oat milk instead.
Although I’ve always loved the taste of oat milk, I haven’t found any brands that don’t make my gluten intolerance flare up..
So, I decided to make my own! And man, it’s SO much creamier & more flavorful than the almond milk. I also find it keeps longer & the prep time is much less since the oats don’t need to soak overnight.
Plus, it’s WAY cheaper, and you don’t need as many oats to get that rich texture & flavor..
Basically, I’m converted!
I hope you love it too.

Ingredients
1 C Gluten Free Oats
4 C purified water
Vanilla bean
Cinnamon
1-4 dates (optional)
Instructions
1. Soak 1 C GF oats in 2 C purified water with vanilla bean for 1-3 hours.
2. The oats will soften and release “milk” just by sitting in the water. They’ll also fatten up the longer you keep them. I like to do about 2 hours.
3. Keep oats in the purified water they’ve soaked in & start adding spoonfuls into the Nama juicer. I made the mistake of putting too many soft oats in my juicer the first time, and because they were so soft & liquidy already- it got backed up. Add 1-2 spoonfuls (with the water in the bowl) at a time.
4. Pour additional purified water (2 C total) between every 6-8 spoonfuls or so.
5. To sweeten, add 1-4 dates depending how sweet you like your milk. You’ll need to pour a little water through to get all the sweet date juice out. Make sure the dates are pitted.
6. Spice with cinnamon once everything is juiced.
7. Stir/shake to blend. ENJOY!
