Penny recommends:

• Making your own Homemade Nut Milk or Oat Milk is preferable as it saves buying the cartons and is also cheaper but you do need a powerful blender (e.g Vitamix) to blitz the nuts.

• To save time in the mornings, you could prepare several portions in one go and store in the fridge for a couple days ahead.
