Brazil nut milk is a nature’s energy drink that not just tastes great but offers numerous health benefits. Brazil nuts are a nutrition powerhouse, abundant in selenium, antioxidants, heart-healthy fatty acids, and a whole library of minerals.  

Brazil nut milk makes a delicious, smooth, and silky positive pranic drink that is perfect to start your day with. Brazil nuts’ potassium-sodium ratio is 760:2 (milligrams per 100g), making them one of the top energy-generating food choices. I love to supercharge my smoothies or oatmeal with it, and it completes homemade granola perfectly.

The taste of this natural energy drink is mild, and to a lot of people, it tastes “just like dairy milk.” Because of its versatile taste profile, you can easily incorporate it into your favorite dishes. So, you can use Brazil nut milk in soups, curries, or stews as well.

The quick and easy method of making the Brazil nut milk I’m offering here can be applied to any other nut/seed milk (except for almond milk and coconut milk, where different techniques have to be applied).

I like to add a couple of Medjool dates to all my plant-based milk. In the sattvic (energy) diet, dates are considered to be one of the top ojas-building energy foods. (potassium-sodium ratio is 518:1 (milligrams per 10 pieces)).

Going Nuts for Brazil Nuts

Disclaimer: 🤓 Geek alert!

Brazil nuts are plentiful on selenium; this is one fantastic trace element that is essential for the proper function of the body. Among other nuts, Brazil nuts have an unmatched amount of selenium (96mcg in just one nut! while there is less than 1mcg on average in most nuts).  

Selenium is a powerful anti-inflammation agent (1), helps regulate thyroid function, supports your immune system, and healthy cell development and growth (2). The highest concentration of selenium is in thyroid tissue. The thyroid gland secretes hormones responsible for metabolism (therefore energy production) and body temperature.  

Furthermore, the concentration of copper, zink, and magnesium in Brazil nuts is significantly higher than in other nut-meats. 

Copper is responsible for beautiful skin and joints health, accountable for the maintenance of healthy collagen and elastin levels. Zinc is known for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, immune-supportive qualities, eye health, and associates with male health. Magnesium assists in maintaining healthy sugar levels and supports the assimilation of calcium into bone.

Brazil nuts are an abundant source of antioxidants, which help to maintain healthy cells by combating damage caused by free radicals. They are also high in polyunsaturated fats that promote cardiovascular health by lowering “bad” cholesterol levels. 

Who wouldn’t make use of this wonderful gift from nature?!

Brazil nuts

Things to Know before you milk Brazilian nuts:

  • Brazil nuts must be raw.
  • Buy high-quality, fresh, organic nuts. If the Brazil nuts are not fresh, the taste quality of your milk will be significantly affected.
  • Brazil nuts must be soaked (you can find out more about this here » The Benefits of Soaking nuts);
  • Use good quality water. As any milk is mostly water, it is essential to use filtered or spring water.
  • High-speed blenders are preferred to use for plant-based milk. They make milk incredibly smooth and creamy.
  • The ratio of Brazil nuts to water can vary. For example, 1 cup of nuts to 2 cups of water will give you a nice creamer. The ratio for milk is from 1:3 to 1:5.

All you need is:

  1. blender (high-speed preferred);
  2. cotton nut milk bag or cotton towel;

    I am puzzled ! We are told time and time again to limit ones self to no more than two pieces of Brazil nut per day. Obviously the Brazil nut milk will go well over this this limit.
    Please explain.
    Thanks.

      The serving size of Brazil nuts (according to USDA) is 1 ounce (28 grams).
      1 once of Brazil nuts can range from 2 to 6 nuts (depending on the size).
      1 cup of Brazil nuts = 5 ounces, which makes it 5 servings.

      This recipe calls for 1 cup of Brazil nuts and identifying 8 servings, which brings it way below the daily serving allowance.
      🙏
