Hello!
I’ve been veggie for 5 years and recently turned vegan, only problem is I can’t find a milk alternative that I like to have with coffee and cerealsI’ve tried soy(sweetened and unsweetened), almond, coconut and oat.

Thanks!

For me it's also a bonus that you are forgoing the packaging and associated waste.
You can use the leftover ground hazelnuts to make burgers or baked items. Just keep in the fridge and use them (and the milk) within a week as they go off fast.

A lot of people are unsure of what kind of milk to go for these days. Some are moving away from dairy and switching to plant-based milks for ethical and/or health reasons. So I’m going to take a lo…
