How to Make a Delicious Walnut Milk

Fifteen minutes is all you need to make this decadent homemade walnut milk. Frankly, there’s no need to buy pasteurized nut milks at the grocery store when it’s so simple to make delicious nut milks at home.

Walnuts are one of the most nutrient dense brain foods, providing antioxidants, minerals, phytonutrients in addition to high doses of alpha-linoleic and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are incredible for your health and may prevent a wide range of physical ailments.

Studies have found that people with higher nut consumption have lower rates of cardiovascular disease and improved cardiovascular risk factors. To note, several trials have linked nut consumption with lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. (1)

Additionally, walnuts help boost serotonin and dopamine and provide critical cellular support.

Interesting to note, walnuts are shaped like a brain. Hmmm… Mother Nature giving us clues? So, it stands to reason that these distinctively meaty and delicious nuggets provide elements to support brain health, and have been noted to ease symptoms of depression.

I’ve made walnut milk many times without the additional ingredients. It was fine, so if you’re a purist feel free to leave out the salt, honey & cinnamon. However, once I started adding the extra ingredients I was hooked. You may be too!
