This Sunflower Milk will blow you away with how easy it is to make! If you have two minutes, and a handful of ingredients, you can have this sunflower seed milk ready to go in no time.
Plant based milk from the store almost always contains preservatives – something I try to avoid, so this homemade sunflower seed milk is a great alternative to store bought.
This recipe is:
- vegan
- a great dairy free milk alternative
- smooth and creamy
- preservative free
- so fresh tasting
- easy to make
- has 6 grams of protein per serving
This sunflower seed milk recipe uses a shortcut. There’s no blending and straining sunflower seeds involved. Say what?! Yep, it’s true. There’s no need for a nut milk bag, or an expensive machine like the Nutr or Almond Cow where you’re using a whole cup raw sunflower seeds.
Sunflower Milk – Ingredients
SunButter (unsweetened)
Filtered water
Dates or maple syrup (optional)
Sea salt
Sunflower Milk – How to Make
First, add the sunflower seed butter, 4 cups water, dates or maple syrup, and salt to a high speed blender.
Next, blend on high for 2 minutes or until everything is well encorporated.
Lastly, transfer to a glass storage container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days for maximum fresheness.
Recipe Notes
I recommend using unsweetened SunButter so you can control the amount of sweetness in the final product. The sweetened version also uses refined sugar which is great to avoid when you can.
Feel free to add a pinch more salt, or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for more flavor.
