Nuts About Nut Milk! Midweek Munchies Vegan Haul

Like many of us, I love to make and drink healthy, nutritious and delicious nut milks, but

I must confess that I am not very fond of the mess I make when I try to strain my nut milk

using cheesecloth.

When I try to strain my blended nut milk through cheesecloth, I often have a difficult time

and it simply takes me too long.

So I decided to investigate easier, more efficient ways to strain the nut milk pulp.

First of all, I decided to try out two different nut milk bags, to see which one worked

best for me.

Here’s what I found:

My Best Nut Milk Bag

This 2 bag pack contained a large (12″x12″) and medium (12″x9″) strong reusable nut milk bag.

It’s made with commercial food grade fine nylon mesh.

Big 12″X12″ Commercial Grade – Reusable Almond Milk Bag & All Purpose Strainer

Made of Fine Food Grade Mesh Nylon Cheesecloth

This brand was smartly designed in response to customer requests for a bigger better

quality bag with a wider opening and rounded corners to eliminate waste and messy pouring.

It’s supposed to be the perfect shape and size with more surface area to squeeze!

I love this well-designed, durable 2 Qt milk bottle because I can store a lot of nut milk in it.

Refillable glass milk bottles like these take us back to a time when life was simpler.

It brings back memories of the kind of bottles that the milk man would drop off your bottles

at the door so you would have fresh milk for breakfast.

I grabbed this set of eco-friendly glass beverage bottles–perfect personal bottles for my

fresh nut milks.

I like the fact that they have stainless steel caps with an O-ring for water-tight seal and

a wider mouth for easy filling and cleaning.

I am always concerned about keeping my bottles and stainless steel straws clean, so this

nifty water bottle cleaning set really comes in handy.

The set includes long bottle brush, straw brush and detail cleaner.

The long bottle brush is perfect for cleaning the inside of bottles with narrow necks

Short, firm bristles on brush tip thoroughly clean bottom of bottles and soft side bristles clean

bottle walls without scratching.

The long straw brush is great for getting inside sports bottle straws

The detail cleaner is ideal for getting into crevices in caps, cleaning screw threads and locations

where a large brush cannot reach.
