“I try to be as plastic free as possible, and thanks to this product, no more milk cartons (that are lined with plastic and aluminium, hard to recycle if you council ever does...).
It’s been great with all my recipes so far, great in smoothies too, so easy and quick. The only thing is, I use more paste than what is suggested per litre and I add 3 or 4 dates when I blend. When pouring from the blender to the bottle, I use a fine mesh strainer.
I find that the milk is creamier after a day or overnight in the fridge, especially the hazelnut one.
Because I use more paste than suggested, I don’t get to make 10 bottles with 1 jar but still satisfied with how much I get.
Not going back to carton, this product is a winner.”
“It tastes nice on muesli, but is absolutely rank in tea. It didn't blend with the water well at all, and was too bitter to take the bitterness out of the tea. And left a pile of sludge at the bottom. I made it up in a bottle that I cannot now get clean so will have to recycle. I don't know what to do with the rest of the (expensive) jar as it's not really usable for replacing milk in most of my normal uses.”
“I don't get why so many of the reviews are positive. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a nut milk concentrate that means a huge reduction in plastic packaging and food miles. That's why I bought it. But if the producers of this product are not paying for all that packaging and food miles then why would they be charging an amount equivalent to 8-10 lts of the higher quality supermarket nut milk? I thought it could only be because the taste is so good that it exceeds better ones I've tried like Milk Lab and Australia's Own barista range. I wouldn't call it disgusting. It's just not a very good nut milk. It's watery, not particularly pleasant tasting and, while it doesn't separate, it ends up with lots of tiny bits of nut in it. And, essentially, it's basically raw nut butter with some arrowroot and mesquite. And it costs triple the price of high quality nut butter?! What is going on there?! If companies like Bega can manufacture smooth nut butters, then the technology exists to make a nut milk concentrate that doesn't end up with little bits in it after blending. And then it just has to taste good and be sold at a reasonable price. I mean, if someone is going to create such a positive environmentally friendly option as this, surely they can make it appealing too.”
“This is amazing stuff tastes better than store bought and no waste since I se most if not all the jars. Be careful to make in small batches though to last you two days and then make fresh so it doesnt go off. Recommended. I like it mixed with the hazelnut yum - Also worth noting, maybe mine doesn't last as long because I like it fairly strong, using 2 big tablespoons for every 760 ml water - for an idea”
“I love having a jar of this in my fridge to reduce my use of dairy milk. Great in smoothies. I use the higher end of the ratio (about 2.5 Tbsp per L of water) as I prefer a creamier milk. It can be a bit gritty towards the end, but doesn’t bother me at all.”
“This nut milk base is really handy to have in the fridge, no more chucking half full cartons of milk. Tastes good, doesn’t fully blend up with the water though.”
“I've been using the Ulu Hye but mylks for about 6 months and I think they are great. This one is my favourite, I have tried them all and find this the best all rounder (the Hemp one ends up with a lot of sediment but you could filter it out with a cheesecloth).
I find you definitely have to use the maximum amount of paste they recommend to get a good consistency. The lower amount is too watery for my liking.
There is sediment to all of the mylks in varying degrees but just shake it up!
Not the greatest for cooking where consistency is key.
Generally a great alternative to tetra pack plant mylks.”
