Best oat milk powder

Overherd

• Ingredients: Gluten-free organic oats, coconut MCT powder, chicory root fibre, calcium carbonate, and vitamin B12
• Diets: Nut-free, soy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan
• Price: £6.99 for 400g

Not only is this one of the most affordable options, but it is also my favourite vegan milk powder. Overherd have used gluten-free (yay) organic oats and mixed them with fibre, vitamin B12 and calcium, to create this nutritious alternative.

It is really creamy and really easy to mix. You can either add it directly to your coffee as a creamer, or you can shake it up with water and keep a bottle of it in your fridge.

One bag will last you forever, but it is still really easy to carry around with you.

Best almond milk powder

Erbology

• Ingredients: Organic almonds
• Diets: Organic, soy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan
• Price: £17.99 for 200g

This almond milk powder base from Erbology is made using organic cold-pressed Italian almonds. Erbology is committed to creating natural products using sustainable and organic ingredients (they also sell a range of awesome mushroom supplements).

It is a really healthy vegan milk base with a subtle nutty flavour. It pairs really nicely with porridge and cereal.

They haven’t added anything else to the ingredients, so if you’d like some extra flavour I’d recommend a pinch of sugar and salt. It is best made overnight, so the almond powder has time to properly absorb in the water.

Best coconut milk powder

Island Source

• Ingredients: Organic coconut milk and organic rice maltodextrin
• Diets: Organic, nut-free, soy-free and vegan
• Price: £8.99 for 225g

This coconut milk powder makes the most wonderfully creamy coconut milk. It mixes well with water and if you use a little more powder to milk, it can work well in curries when you run out of tinned coconut milk (like in this vegan Thai green curry).

I really like using this coconut milk with my coffee and granola.

To get the most out of this milk, mix it with warm water and leave it to absorb for an hour or so in the fridge before using it.

Best soya milk powder

Urban Platter

• Ingredients: Soya
• Diets: Non-GMO and vegan (produced in a factory that handles nuts and gluten)
• Price: £14.49 for 400g

Soya milk is one of the most realistic dairy milk alternatives in both texture and nutrition. This powdered soya milk powder is no exception. It is high in protein and made using non-GMO soya.

I personally really enjoy baking with this soya milk powder. Its high protein content is perfect for binding together vegan cakes.

I would recommend blending it with the water rather than mixing it as this will ensure you get a smoother more creamy soya milk.

Frequently asked questions

Here are my answers to all your FAQs regarding vegan milk powder.

What is vegan milk powder?

Vegan milk powder is a dry powdered ingredient that you can mix with water to create your own plant-based milk. It is typically made from ingredients like oats, coconut, soya, or almonds. These ingredients are processed into a powder and dehydrated to remove any liquid.

This powder can then be stored long-term in your kitchen, ready to be made into vegan milk whenever needed!

Why use powdered vegan milk?

There are many reasons why you should choose to purchase and use vegan milk powder, instead of buying vegan milk in cartons. Not only is it a lot more sustainable, as it requires a lot less packaging per litre of milk, but it is also a lot more convenient.

You can make your vegan milk whenever needed and you can make just the right amount for your requirements. Moreover, you can use more or less powder to achieve your desired consistency.

To summarise, these are the reasons you should use powdered vegan milk:

• It is more eco-friendly since less packaging is used
• It is more convenient
• You can make the right amount of milk for you
• It is easy to change the consistency to suit you
