It seems like every time you go to the store, there\u2019s another new type of vegan milk that promises to be richer, frothier, or creamier than any that has come before it. Here\u2019s how to get past the marketing ploys and flashy packaging to find a healthy plant-based milk for your cooking and baking needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
All vegan milks (also known as \u201cplant milks\u201d or \u201cplant-based milks\u201d) are essentially made the same way: by blending a grain, legume, or nut with water, then straining out the solids. They\u2019re easy to make at home (see below), but it\u2019s hard to beat the convenience of plant milks from the supermarket. These milks have been pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized just like dairy milk to eliminate any harmful microorganisms and extend their shelf life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
