Free Guide for Thermomix · Plant Milks
Fresher, cheaper and entirely yours to adjust: making your own plant milk at home takes minutes.
You can make your own plant milks in the Thermomix, and it is easy. Nuts, oats or soy beans blend with water in the bowl, then strain through a nut milk bag and you have fresh milk in minutes, with no preservatives, no additives and the thickness set exactly where you like it.
There is something pretty special about making your own plant based milks at home, and it is not just the savings, though that is a lovely bonus. Homemade milks are fresher, free from preservatives and unnecessary additives, and completely customisable to your taste. Want it creamier? Add more nuts. Prefer it lighter? Use more water. Skip the sweeteners or add a splash of vanilla. It is up to you. You are also reducing packaging waste and getting the satisfaction of creating something nourishing from scratch. Simple, sustainable and oh so satisfying, exactly how we like things in the kitchen.

If you are looking for a high quality, durable mesh Nut Milk Bag, we sell a brilliant one. And it is not just for nut milks. Chris says, "I make lots of zucchini slice and it's always better with the water squeezed out of the zucchini. The nut bag does such a great job of this. Then I just turn it inside out and rinse and let it sit on top of my thermie to dry for next time. It's a must have."

Questions we get asked
Which plant milks can I make in the Thermomix?
Macadamia, oat, cashew and soy are the four we have recipes for, and all four are linked above. The method is the same idea each time: blend with water, then strain.
Do I need a nut milk bag?
For a smooth milk, yes. A fine mesh bag is what separates the pulp from the milk, and a good one strains it in a single pass without splitting.
Can I make it creamier or lighter?
That is the whole point of making it yourself. More nuts gives you a creamier milk, more water a lighter one. Sweeteners and vanilla are optional and entirely up to you.
Is homemade actually cheaper than buying it?
The savings are a lovely bonus, but they are not the main reason we do it. Fresher milk with no preservatives or unnecessary additives, and far less packaging waste, is what makes it worth the few minutes.
What else is the bag good for?
Squeezing the water out of grated zucchini before it goes into a slice is the one our customers mention most. Turn it inside out, rinse it, and let it dry.
Cooking plant based in your Thermomix?
