Concerns exist for rice and coconut milk as well. Rice uses a lot of water, and the supply chain for coconuts may have unethical practices.That leaves soy, hemp, and oats, which are all better for the environment.

Cost plays a role in our dietary decisions, so if the production and packaging of plant-based milks make them more expensive, is there any way to address this issue other than producing them ourselves? I was pleased to discover that, despite the fact that producing milk at home turned out to be more expensive than purchasing it from a shop, I actually really loved it and found it to be very simple to do. This was the sustainability challenge I set for myself. I like having discretion over where I eat.

Hemp is the erratic card.

I made the decision to do an experiment using hemp, the hippy community’s poster child. Because I had to go to a large grocery store instead of my neighborhood one, it required a little more work to source, so hemp is not your friend when it comes to convenience.Since I’ve always thought hemp milk tastes weird and is watery, I wanted to check whether creating it at home might improve the flavor.

Not really, was the response. The next time, I’ll try balancing the earthy, nutty flavor with a few dates and a dash of vanilla essence. However, it was incredibly simple to make—straining was not necessary, unlike with other nuts. I blended the seeds, water, and salt together in the blender.
