Keto Flax Milk

Over the past few years, many types of Keto plant-based milk have gained popularity. That’s because they are healthier than dairy milk and are lower in carbs. However, one specific type of Keto-friendly milk deserves more exposure, and that is flax milk.

Flax milk is one of the easiest types of milk to prepare, requiring only two ingredients and 15 minutes of active work. Unlike other plant-based milk recipes that require overnight nut soaking, you only need to soak the seeds for 1 hour in this recipe. All that is left to get a creamy and delicious Keto milk is blending it with water and straining it

How can you use it?

This is one of the best plant-based types of milk for Keto recipes. It is an excellent substitute for dairy milk. Because it is creamy, you can use it in baking, as a base for soups and smoothies, and in beverages like coffee and hot chocolate. It also tastes great on its own if you sweeten it and flavor it with vanilla extract.

What are the health benefits of flax milk?

Research suggests that flax milk may have some heart health benefits because it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. It is also naturally high in fiber and low in sugar and carbohydrates.

How long will it last in your fridge?

Because this recipe contains no preservatives, this Keto milk will last for up to a week. You can prepare a fresh batch every weekend to use during your busy week.

Is this recipe budget-friendly?

Yes, it is! Flax seeds are way cheaper than nuts, and you only need ¼ cup of them for the recipe anyway. Also, the great thing is that you can repurpose the strained flax seeds for many recipes such as this Keto Pumpkin Spice Flax Porridge:

Flax Seeds

0.25 cup
Boiling Water

0.5 cup
Water

3 cup

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the flax seeds and the boiling water. Cover the bowl. Let the seeds soak for 1 hour.
Step 2

Transfer the soaked flax seeds to a sieve. Rinse it under running tap water to get rid of its slimy texture. You can now add them to the blender’s jug.
Step 3

Add the remaining water to the flax seeds. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Stop the blender, and run a spatula along the sides of the jug to release any stuck seeds. Blend for another minute until the liquid is opaque.
Step 4

Place a sieve over a bowl or a jug, and pour the flax milk. Using a spoon, mix the seeds to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Store the seeds for another use, such as Keto porridge.
Step 5

To get smoother flax milk, run it through a cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids. At this stage, add more water if the consistency is too thick for your liking. You can also sweeten it and add vanilla extract if you desire.
Step 6

Pour the flax milk into a glass container of your choice. You can use it right away or store it in the fridge for up to a week. Make sure to shake it well before using or consuming it.
