World Vegan Day -- How to make milk from peanuts and rice

A dairy-free, vegan way to have milk.

November 1 is World Vegan Day.

Many of us think that going vegan means giving up milk and dairy products. Yes, it is true that vegans do not consume any animal products but it does not mean they don't have any milk or curd at all. Milk from plant-based ingredients is completely vegan and tastes yummy too. So if you are a vegan or planning to become one, this recipe is for you.

Dr Nandita Shah who is the founder of SHARAN, demonstrates how to make milk from peanuts and rice. A vegan herself, she eats whole plant-based, organic food that is high in nutrition and low in preservatives and chemicals. Watch this video to learn the art of making vegan milk at home.

If you are going vegan, here are a few tips for you:

Don't forget to take vitamin B12 supplements as the soil these days is deprived of it and it becomes difficult to get it from natural sources.

Store healthy, vegan snacks at home for those hunger pangs in the evening. Some options include berries, chia seeds, amla, flaxseeds. You can even put them all together in a blender, add vegan milk and make a smoothie.

If you are transitioning to veganism, make sure you plan out your meals so that you don't falter and go back to your old eating habits. Click here for more tips.
