"Weird" Plant Milk Taste Test | Milky Plant

[@KelemenNora]

I was actually looking into the reviews of this machine a few weeks ago, because we drink so much oat milk... But I saw many really concerning comments about how it has issues after a few weeks or months of use. It would be so great if you could mention it in a few months in a video if the machine still works ok for you or not.... :) Thanks!! :)

[@MyGreenCloset]

I'll do an update in a few months!

@@MyGreenCloset Thank you so so much!!! :)

Hi, quinoa and all the legumes you have to cook before you use them. The only "grains" you can use raw is oats flakes (or any flakes). But if you use rice or any grains you have to cook them first.

[@trinidadmartincampos8497]

not true, you can do almonds and cashew without soaking ;)

[@RambleMaven]

It probably is because a large percentage of the population has peanut allergies so it’s not as marketable to produce peanut milk.

[@MyGreenCloset]

Yeah that could be it! I figured peanut butter is so popular though (especially in Canada) that someone would try to make peanut milk too.

[@inlightediting]

i think you may be right. my mom and i are allergic to peanuts and cross contamination is a huge issue we need to avoid with products like this.

I'm curious about soy and rice, as I use those quite a bit, but I feel like if I had a machine like that, I'd want to test everything, even if it were 'weird'! Is avocado milk a thing? Corn? Beans? Potatoes? Bananas? Pine nuts or pistachios, to be fancy? Also, I wonder if it could be done with cooked things (like maybe cooking would help with the bitterness of the split peas? I think maybe rice milk is made with cooked rice?) I never drank a lot of milk, so I don't use lots of plant milk today, but if I did, that machine would make for so many fun experiments!

[@MyGreenCloset]

So many good ideas! Yeah I was wondering about cooking the split peas too, I'll have to try it to compare.

[@fdbrckx]

There is potato milk, by a company called dug. I like it and would say it actually does not have a strong flavor. Though, I do used it mostly in coffee or pancakes. (more of a regular oat drinker though)

[@missloly824]

When I made soy milk, I would soak the beans, but then I would heat the milk, so maybe you have to do the same with pea milk to get rid of the bitterness? I used the leftover pulp/okara in veggie burgers.

Thanks for the video and the discount code, you helped me a lot to make a decision. Greetings from Mexico, saludos!!

[@jennyjenkins877]

This was very interesting! Can you do a video on what supplements you'd need to take if your milk isn't fortified with things like calcium?

[@c.s.804]

Elmhurst used to make chocolate peanut Milk but sadly discontinued

[@purpleworm4725]

I wonder how these do it coffee, e.g., do they separate and do they go well in terms of flavor. With cereal I can have almost any plant milk, but for coffee I only like soy and oat milk barista versions that are specifically designed for use in coffee.

[@thenopedetective]

This is be curious about! I find for coffee it does need some adatives otherwise it separates (particularly with soy milk, which is my preference for protein).

[@thenopedetective]

*this is what I'm curious about

[@MrWilliamgottelier]

Great video, thank you! Off topic, It would be so interesting to see a renovation video as I really enjoyed your environmentally conscious Reno stories on Instagram!

[@christad7376]

I would try cooking the pea milk, similar to the process for making soy milk.

[@MyGreenCloset]

That's a good idea!

[@livewire3976]

I found chickpea milk at Superstore and gave it a try. Definitely a weird taste but it did grow on me, don't know if i'd buy it again. But another idea you could try experimenting!

[@MyGreenCloset]

Interesting! Will have to try it!

[@memori365]

I didn’t know about this. Thanks for the info. Would look out for it. 👀

[@gsinclair2813]

I've seen this at Asian grocery shops in Australia

[@livewire3976]

@@memori365 the brand is called yofiit. Found it with the non refrigerated plant milks. It was something new to me, and the high protein made me curious!

[@livewire3976]

@@gsinclair2813 interesting, was the first I'd seen/heard of it! Guess it's not a new thing then.

[@uioth]

Very curious so see an update after a while - especially interested in how the oat milk is working for you long term. My home made oat milk never quite work that well in coffee for example 😅

[@glennamartin193]

Interesting! This was such a good video!

[@zainalu]

Hi Verena! I have a question to ask. I am looking for wool felts for piano. Do you know of any vegan fabric (wool alternative) that can be used to make felts? I thought of asking you since you have studied about fabrics. Thanks!

[@MyGreenCloset]

I don't know about pianos specifically, but a lot of felt (such as felt pieces for crafting) are made from synthetic fibres.

[@zainalu]

@@MyGreenCloset In pianos, wool felt is used. So, I was wondering if there’s anything that feels similar to wool felt.

[@donahazelwood9263]

Please try pea milk again. I love the milk I get from store.

[@thenopedetective]

I've never tried a pea milk that tasted good. What brand do you have?

[@donahazelwood9263]

@@thenopedetective I drink Ripple. I really like it, but my husband says it's gross.

[@gsinclair2813]

try tiger nut milk-it's good and they are so good for you

[@MyGreenCloset]

Oh I've never heard of tiger nut!

[@forget.me.not.]

In Spain is called “horchata” and is a very popular drink during summer, is delicious!! You can find it in cafeterias, ice cream corners and even supermarkets. In Latin America they also have a beverage with the same name but is made of a different ingredient.

[@kellyb261]

In Spain tiger nuts are called chufas. And I agree, horchata made with them is delicious!

[@klarasedlackova1961]

Can you try walnuts please?

[@sallychail4208]

I would love to see you make cashew milk. I tried to make it myself once and it was awful.

[@MyGreenCloset]

Oh interesting, I assumed cashews would be good!

[@Cocoatreat]

I make cashew milk with coconut- with my Chefwave milk made nut milk maker…….very delicious…. Milky plant would not send me the machine…..so I wouldn’t know if it’s better……

[@sattvadevi]

Very inspiring! Can one put a date into the machine as well?

[@MyGreenCloset]

Yeah! It's perfect to add sweetness

[@eleanorharnage1025]

Pecan milk, please!

[@therockbeast6214]

Would you ever shave your hair again

[@yggdrasil444]

The inside of the machine smells like plastic/soapy and the milk tastes like it too. Hoping it will go away...

[@MyGreenCloset]

Yikes, that's no good. Maybe do a few cleaning cycles?
