Save the planet, and your tummy, with this plant-based milk recipe. A lot of people are making the switch to a plant-based diet for their health and the health of the planet. Unfortunately, a lot of dairy-free milks are just as bad for the environment as their full-dairy counterparts. Non-dairy milk also contains a surprising amount of additives that can be really hard on digestion, such as carageenan. Making your own plant-based milk at home is a lot easier than most people expect. Quicker than a trip to the grocery store, this recipe is guaranteed to be an instant hit.
