As much as plant-based milks have risen in popularity as consumers seek out alternatives to conventional dairy options, many health-conscious consumers choose to make their own simply because they do not want to see added gums and stabilizers in their beverages.
Califia Farms' created a trio of organic 'Homestyle Nutmilks' in cashew, coconut and almond varieties that are made with just nuts, water, salt and oats. As the brand proudly highlights, there are no stabilizers of gums present in any of these nut milks, plus they are also free of soy, carrageenan, dairy and gluten.
While it is possible, but sometimes costly, to make DIY nut milk at home, clean alternatives like these ones appeal to consumers who want the satisfaction and assurance of drinking healthy homespun goods.
