Freshly made Brazil nut milk is in a league of its own—smooth, creamy, and naturally rich in selenium, a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function and thyroid health. Unlike store-bought versions, this homemade alternative is free from unnecessary additives, offering a pure and nutrient-dense plant-based milk that’s perfect for smoothies, porridge, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Soaking the Brazil nuts before blending not only softens them for a silkier texture but also helps reduce phytic acid—an anti-nutrient that can interfere with mineral absorption. This process enhances digestion and allows your body to better absorb essential nutrients like selenium, magnesium, and zinc. With just a few simple steps, you can create a wholesome, fresh milk that’s both nourishing and delicious.
The dates, vanilla powder and salt are optional. They add an extra level to the milk, but can be left out if you’d prefer a plain milk.
2 cups. Soak the Brazil nuts for 8 hours or overnight. Add them to a bowl or jug and add plenty of fresh water to cover them.
1/4tsp.
Pink or sea salt contains trace minerals, unlike processed table salt, which is stripped of minerals and contains additives like anti-caking agents.
1/8tsp.
