21 Deliciously Easy Raw Vegan Milk Options

Being a raw vegan can be challenging. Although plant milk is becoming readily available, most of what you get in stores is not suitable for raw vegans. So, the best option would be to make these raw vegan milk alternatives at home. It’s easy, requires only a few ingredients and super quick – 

1. Raw Cashew Milk 

If you are looking to start your raw vegan journey, raw cashew milk is one of the best options to begin. The thick and creamy raw cashew milk is super easy to make at home and can be used in a variety of raw vegan recipes. 

2. Raw Almond Milk 

Almond milk is a popular plant milk that is easily available across all small or big stores. The store bought almond milk mil may sometimes have additives which is why it is best to prepare it at home. 

3. Raw Coconut Milk 

Another delicious yet simple raw vegan option is coconut milk. The creaminess of the coconuts makes it a perfect accompaniment for many raw vegan recipes. It is also a great option to be consumed as such.

4. Raw Oat Milk 

You can also make your own raw oat milk at home pretty easily. However, make sure you are using the right kind of oats. For raw vegans, I would recommend using Oat Groats or steel cut oats as they are truly raw in nature. 

5. Raw Hemp Milk 

As a nutritionist this is my top choice for raw vegan milk. Rich in good fats like mega 3 and omega 6, hemp milk has what we call a “complete protein” since it boasts of all essential amino acids.   

6. Raw Macadamia Milk 

The thick and creamy macadamia milk has so many uses that making it in a batch is totally worthwhile. As a raw vegan, you can use it in your smoothies, puddings, add it to your cereal and more 

7. Raw Flax Milk 

Flax seeds is one of the most nutrient dense superfoods and can be an important part of a raw vegan diet. Raw flax milk is easy to make and can be prepared within minutes. You can make it thin or thick by adjusting the amount of water.

8. Raw Sesame Milk 

Taking the love for seed milk a little further, we have on the list raw sesame milk. This dairy-free, nut-free raw vegan milk is quite easy to make and also a very economical option. 

9. Raw Quinoa Milk 

You can use soaked or sprouted quinoa for making this milk. Quinoa milk is very similar in taste to oat milk and also cow milk. It therefore, is a great option for people making a move to raw veganism. Before making the milk make sure you wash it multiple times before blending. 

10. Raw Pecan Milk 

Pecan milk can be prepared with either raw or roasted pecans. One of the best parts of making -milk using pecans is that there is almost zero wastage as the pecans blend in perfectly with water. 

11. Raw Pumpkin Seed Milk 

Another great nut free, dairy free, raw option for vegans is pumpkin seed milk. Made from raw pumpkin seeds, this delicious seed milk is a real treat. It is perfect for making smoothies, puddings and more. 

13. Raw Pistachio Milk 

Raw pistachio milk can be drunk alone or added to a variety of recipes, especially desserts. The leftover pulp from the milk can be used too. I usually add it to puddings or dry it out to make pistachio flour. Peeling the pistachios is completely optional. 

14. Raw Peanut Milk 

This is one of the most pocket friendly raw vegan milk options. All you need is unroasted redskin peanuts. These taste the best when used raw. You can also sprout them before blending them to enhance their nutrient value.  

15. Raw Corn Milk 

Corn milk is not something new and has been used in South Asian countries since ages. The naturally sweet corn cobs are used for this purpose. The resulting milk is perfect for drinking as such or adding flavour to your recipes

16. Raw Walnut Milk 

Walnut milk is one of the lesser known or available milk in the market. It is not only easy to make raw vegan milk but also goes well with a variety of flavours. 

17. Raw Brazil Nut Milk 

While brazil nuts may not be as readily available as other nuts, they certainly are truly nutritious and delicious. Its texture and taste is somewhat similar to cashew milk which makes it a good option for adding to smoothies and puddings. 

18. Raw Rice Milk 

Rice milk can either be made using cooked or uncooked rice. This easy to prepare raw milk is very versatile in usage and is quite cheap. However, rice milk made at home does lack a lot of nutrients and is high in carbs. 

19. Raw Pine Nut Milk 

The tiny pine nuts are nutrient packed. Rich in vitamins, proteins, good fats, minerals, these nuts support heart health. The milk made using pine nut milk inherits all its nutrients making it a very good nutrition option for raw vegans. 

20. Raw Hazelnut Milk 

Another rich raw vegan milk option is hazenut milk. The pleasant taste makes it an amazing drink to be consumed as such a=or to be added to cereal. You can also use the leftover pulp. 

21. Raw Poppy Seed Milk 

Let me wrap up this list of raw vegan milk options with a seed milk. Poppy seeds are so versatile and nutritious that it is hard not to love them. It is a popular drink in lithuania where it is a christmas special.
