#bulk store

12/06/2018 

Buying in bulk means needing a lot of jars/containers to put your food in. Why not reduce your waste less and get them from your local thrift store? Your thrift store is guaranteed to have jars of all sizes, at a low price.

It feels very rewarding to go to the bulk store with a bunch of mason jars and fill them up! I’m saving money and waste just by doing this simple thing. Food in mason jars looks way better than a bunch of boxes and bags in my shelf anyways.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

very very fine metal mesh strainer. i use a cold brew filter

blender

INGREDIENTS

20 g rolled oats, preferably from a bulk store using your own container

2 c water

INSTRUCTIONS

in the jar of a blender measure out 20 g rolled oats and 473 g (2 c) water

run the blender 20 seconds only. key is to not agitate the oats as much as possible

high speed blenders like blendtec and vitamix: speed 5 or half speed

regular blenders like bullet: highest speed

strain the mixture through your strainer. if you’re using cheesecloth this will take longer and may take a couple rounds of rinsing the cloth and repositioning it.

NOTE whatever u do don’t squeeze the oats or push them through like u would with nut milks. the more the oats are agitated the slimier they will get

eat the oat pulp so you don’t waste it!

refrigerate. since it’s fresh it doesn’t last as long as something like oatly

tea or lavender

steep the tea of choice or lavender in warm water overnight, strain out leaves/petals, then use as if it was just water. if desired u can blend the leaves in with the oats then strain it out

matcha

blend matcha to your taste with the finished oat milk after straining oats out

chocolate

Kabar buruknya, setiap tahun angka tersebut bisa terus bertambah dan semakin mencemari lingkungan, baik darat maupun laut. Oleh sebab itu, sekarang banyak sosialisasi tentang bahaya sampah plastik, agar semakin banyak yang peduli dan sadar pentingnya…
