1 c unsweetened shredded coconut
2-3 c warm filtered water, to preference

1-2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla powder or extract
Pinch of cinnamon

MAKE IT
Blend for 3 minutes on high in a high-speed blender. Blend for 5 minutes if not a high-speed blender. Check consistency, and blend until desired thickness, Strain, and store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. You’ll need to share it before using it, as the ingredients separate a bit once refrigerated.

40-SECOND OAT MILK:
INGREDIENTS
1 c GF rolled oats
3 c cold water
Pinch sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla powder or extract
Pinch cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup
Optional: add cocoa or cacao powder for chocolate milk
MAKE IT
Blend the oats and filtered water in a high-speed blender for 30-40s. The milk should look creamy and white. Don’t over blend, or you’ll end up with slimy milk!
Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the oat milk through the strainer twice. Don’t press on the pulp, or you’ll get slimy milk. Discard the pulp.
Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. Super fine oats (sediment) may separate from liquid. I just shake mine before using because I don’t mind them, but if you do then don’t shake the bottle, and pour from the top so the sediment stays at the bottom.

2-MINUTE HEMP MILK:
INGREDIENTS
½ c hemp hearts
3 c filter water
4 tbsp maple syrup, to taste
3 tbsp dried strawberry powder, or more to taste (in a food processor grind dried strawberries until they reach a powder consistency) – add more for a deeper color and more strawberry flavor
½ tsp pure vanilla powder or extract, to taste
Pinch sea salt
MAKE IT
- Blend all ingredients on high for 2 minutes, until creamy and smooth. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
