More and more people are cutting milk out of their diet – either voluntarily or out of necessity – but this doesn't mean you have to go without muesli, porridge and the like. Using just three ingredients, you can easily whip up some delicious, plant-based milk alternatives. My personal favourite is almond milk, which works wonders in sweet and savoury dishes alike. This is why I often keep my almond milk plain and avoid using sweeteners or seasoning so that I can use it in breakfasts, lunches or dinners, as required.
