How to Store and Keep
- Keep in an airtight container. A large mason jar works great! Store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3-4 days. Before serving, shake vigorously as separation can occur while it's sitting.
- Drink it as a special treat.
- Use in your favorite smoothie recipes.
- Pour over your morning bowl of oats.
- Mix it into overnight oats.
- Pour over your favorite cereal.
- Add it to your morning coffee to create a mocha!
- If you don't have cacao powder, cocoa powder can be used as a substitute.
- This oat milk has a deep dark chocolate flavor. For a lighter chocolate taste, use 2 tablespoons of cacao powder.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Add less maple syrup for a lightly sweetened beverage, and a few tablespoons more for a sweeter finish.
- Be sure to use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. This will strain all the blended oats and leave you with a silky smooth creamy drink!
