I love the Frugal Friendly Foods series. Keep them coming!

[@unforcedrhythmsforall]

Sam, you are seriously my favorite frugal chef these days! My kids even like watching you make food...Then they expect me to try it of course!

[@sam_pwrlfts]

Thank you!

I used to make almond milk. It was 1C raw almonds, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed 4 cups water 1 medjool date 1/4-1/2 tsp. vanilla Blend and strain, just like in your video. I worked in coffee, and was trying to find an alternative that steamed well and created a nice microfoam. The protein to fat ratio of almonds was just about perfect, and the flavor was incredible. I’ve never worked with fresh oat milk, I’ll have to try it.

[@sarahconnor64]

I love the idea of using a date instead of syrup! I'm trying to reduce my added sugars, so I may try that!

[@jamiecook4557]

@@sarahconnor64 It’s nice to customize, the sweetness. Syrup and oats would be a hard one for me to resist, though!

[@natashapeters5414]

Jamie, did you just blended the date? I don't have maple syrup. I want to try the oat milk with the date.

[@natashapeters5414]

Thank you Jamie. I will give dates a try.

[@jamiecook4557]

@@natashapeters5414 I did. I add the vanilla then, as well. I hope you enjoy it!

Sam you are getting JACKED my man! The gym and mom's cooking have done you well!

[@froginprogress8510]

Thank you so much for this! My son was being checked by specialists for an abdominal mass, and they said no dairy at all to help with inflammation. First thing was a relatively simple fix, but he is hating no dairy. We're already gluten-free, so anywhere else we can save money definitely helps!

[@theresashaw3984]

This is great & so easy… thank you for sharing..we drink goats milk oat milk & coconut milk but it’s all very expensive here in England we love oats & they’re so nutritious , versatile & filling 😊

[@CoolTaxiDriver]

The last oat milk I had, I bought. No more!! I also just saw an interesting video on making your own tofu…but using oats and garbanzo beans. We avoid soy in our household, so that looked like a great alternative. Thank you inviting us into your home, and all the information you share!

[@carinrichardson]

hi, could you share that video? I would love to know how to make it too, thank you!

[@amberluttrelll8359]

Love watching Sam. You 2 are so amazing together. I’ve learned so much watching your family

[@philw7174]

Interesting. Sam and Kylene, thank you for teaching me about making this alternative milk. Happy trails!

[@outtadarkness1970]

Thank you for this video! I have considered trying oat milk, but people seem to be very picky about which brand they think is best (and they don't seem to be in agreement as to which brand). The cost has kept me from trying it (I drink plain almond milk). I will definitely try this! Again, thank you to you and your handsome young assistant! ❤️🌻😊

[@AdrianClement]

You should make a Short of this! Id share it!

[@islandgal500]

Great recipe! Thanks so much. I live in a remote location where our little store runs out of basic foods because things have to be shipped in from far away and deliveries depend on having good weather. Unfortunately, there are a lot of processed and canned foods, but they will often run out of fruit, vegetables, eggs, and dairy. By the time the supplies get here, the best before date has really shortened. Milk is $11.45 of 2% for a gallon here and sometimes I have to buy the larger jug and freeze smaller portions so I have some for baking, etc. Have also started using dry powdered milk in an emergency too.

[@kathydempsey7110]

Non-dairy milk is the best. Thanks for this video.

[@danellefrost5030]

Awesome video! Thank you! This has been the subject of my most recent food prep search. I had never heard of a nut milk bag before. I will definitely be getting one. Oats are my main priority food storage item. I love my morning oatmeal and would be quite unhappy if I had to do without it. Again, thank you!

[@Tjensen999]

Such a great idea!!! I've been paying for Fairlife milk and freeze drying it. I just might give this one a try too. Thank you!!!! 🥰

[@derekrichard9189]

Wow !!! I love this and will definitely try it … just a great alternative and the ingredients I always have … thanks so much

[@deborahhealey9275]

I make cashew milk with my MioMat milk maker. All I add to the cashews is water, salt and maple syrup. It is delicious

[@richhansen7814]

We use oat milk from the store. After watching your video, I will be making it from now on. We already buy oaks in 25lb bags. Thank you!

[@yannis4335]

Wow thank you so much super easy to make this Im Vegan so this help me out alot. This to stock up on Oats.

[@carrottop5783]

Thank you for this recipe. I can't have dairy and sometimes you just WANT milk for cereal or gravy!

[@susanm9078]

I have tried to make oat milk, just didn't turn out right. I think i a m ready to give it a second try. Love these videis with Sam, so much fun and great info. Keep them up please

[@OhavYisrail]

QOTD my favorite milk alternative is actually oatmilk. And I did not have a recipe for it until today! This is definitely going on the top of my to use list. Ive made almond milk before, but it was a lot more of a process than this. Had to soak the almonds overnight, etc. Plus raw almonds don't exactly have the longest shelf life. TYSM for this!

[@OhavYisrail]

now for my QOTD. How does the cost of the bulk bags from winco on the oats compare to the cans from the Home Storage Center? I don't have a winco by me but am considering taking a vacation to Utah this summer (It's one of two states I haven't visited). If I do I'm definitely going to hit up a winco. Are there any other must sees while I'm there? I'm generally more interested in off the beaten path type sites. And does honeyville have a storefront? or other preparedness stores I should visit there?

[@OhavYisrail]

@@TheProvidentPrepper wow that all sounds great and v really interesting!

[@sarahfraleyhuber6083]

Thanks for this! I will be trying to make some. I can't tolerate dairy milk and my kids get very congested if they drink much of it. I used to buy the Silk brand oat milk that was shelf stable until opened and the price went up $2 since last year!

[@marygallagher3428]

Great demonstration, thanks!

[@AdrianClement]

im going to try this. I wonder if i can make oatmilk creamer and if it will froth in the frother? We shall see! Ill probably add a bit more maple syrup to it. UPDATE- it does not froth lol Ill have to tweak it. Oatmilk is frothable. I think the problem is that I used quick oats. I chose them because it was gluten free brand. A little secret I discovered is to strain it through my French press which is much easier to clean because it csn be disassembled and reassembled easily. It work really well.

[@barb7014]

Impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@Hayilkasdorf]

Oh my gosh, who knew!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@debbiebee9077]

That's great. Thanks. Why salt?

[@rosegruden5575]

Happy to learn this

[@mistyeclipsesone5629]

My favorite alternative is Soy! Though I don't drink it often, if I have to pick I always go with Soy because it's the only one with protein

[@shingram]

Great video! Thank you. We like to camp a lot. Have you ever tried grinding oat groats for an instant milk alternative? Then adding water? Wondering if it would work?

[@sensusfidelium9510]

Thanks for making this! Bout to have 5 kids under 7 yr ! Hope it works!

[@debbieandrews9619]

Love this idea. Would a fine strainer work instead of the bag?

[@jabolbot9371]

Thank you so much! I was just looking into how to make my own. Great timing. Appreciate all you do!!

[@karinhart489]

I put 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in my coffee because it doesn’t have lactose (sugar) & is on my list of “healthy fats”. Your standard 1 cup of oat milk has 16g of carbs, including 7g of sugar. Yup, I know heavy cream is dairy… but it works for me in limited amounts. Many non-dairy alternatives don’t work for me.

[@carolynsteele5116]

Brilliant idea, thank you!

[@theuglykwan]

Can you buy vitamin d3 and b12 to add to it? This soundds awesome. I'll be making cinnamon flavored milk! Can you do this with other grains like quinoa?

[@jeffrichards2011]

👍Excellent info Thanks Sam! Also you get to control what goes into your Oat milk!

[@laurabrown5983]

good to know this in a pinch to be able to use up oats...could you sub honey for the syrup?

[@laurahill2272]

How long does it keep once mixed? Sam, I love seeing what you do next.

[@101jody]

I love oat milk lattes. My organic oat milk costs $5.00 for a quart! I'll try this with organic oats. Organic is expensive but non organic oats have a lot of glyphosate and other pesticides/herbicides that I'm trying to avoid for health reasons. Can I do this in a Vitamix? Thanks for the demo!

[@marypeterson3512]

Do rennet tablets have a long shelf life if stored correctly? I like figuring out to make all the things if the stores were gone. Like mozzarella from dry milk?

Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@daneking1209]

Typically I don’t watch these food videos I’ll be honest but man was this one good! I need to go back now lol

[@mikecaster4612]

If I need a quarter cup of milk (for cheap box of Mac 'n Cheese) but have none - I would use non-diary coffee creamer. It is shelf stable and will last for years. Works great for coffee.

[@missdenim6590]

The channel Mashed just mentioned you guys in their latest video about canned food! I was surprised and thought that was cool she referenced your channel ☺️

I love hemp milk. You don't need to strain it, so it's easier for lazies like me. just blend and use

[@audreysmith2557]

How do you make hemp milk?

[@heatheringram2976]

Hi Kylene, I’m trying to figure out how to be able to make yogurt if we couldn’t get starter anymore. And from what I’ve read it doesn’t have a long shelf life like powdered milk does? Can we reconstitute freeze dried Greek yogurt and use it as the starter? Wondering if the cultures die getting that cold? Or do you know what we should store so we could make yogurt if we didn’t have stores. Thanks

[@daval5563]

Thank you for your video. I'm not big on milk but it has its uses in cooking and baking not to forget cereal. But I'll make this "Oat Milk" the next time I make bread and throw the pulp in the dough for something different. I could use some of the Oat milk for my liquid as well. The worst that can happen is I don't like the product, ... and I can't see that happening. Have a great one.

[@brightstarr57]

Great tutorial...I need to try it! Question...does regular oats mean old fashioned or quick?

[@fabricdragon]

Almond milk is also easy, but almonds don't store well, sadly (not like oats anyway) While I have luckily found the lds home storage center's dry milk to be delicious (and I don't usually like dry milk) for so many people who can't tolerate dairy this is a blessing.

[@Utah_Mike]

I’m with SAM on this one

I think a lot of people, including myself , get a immune reaction ie mucus in the throat etc after consuming cows milk. My son gets a patch of acne on his forehead from dairy, my brothers feet itch etc etc 😄

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

Any chance this could be whipped into a non-dairy "whipped cream"?

About 5 days in the refrigerator :)

Celtic or Real Salt has like 20 natural essential minerals.

[@lisawoodard6015]

As a vegan, this is nice to know

[@Yoda63]

I wonder how it would work to sprout whole oat groats then make the milk out of that. The sprouting should provide natural sweetness

[@tizmehere492]

I like almond milk but i haven’t had any lately because it is so expensive.

[@denisebolin-clark8826]

I find that homemade oatmilk isn't good in hot coffee or tea. Do y'all use your oatmilk in hot drinks? Thankyou.

Without sweetners it makes a great gravy with meat juices, a bit of fat and flour.
