Walnut Milk Benefits: A Rare Plant-Based Milk Worth Trying

Walnut milk is far less common than almond or oat milk, but it's worth knowing about — especially if you already love walnuts for their rich, earthy flavour.

What makes walnut milk different

Walnut milk is made the same simple way as other nut milks — walnuts blended with water and strained — but the flavour is distinct: deeper and slightly earthy compared to the lighter taste of almond milk. Walnuts are well known for containing omega-3 fatty acids (specifically ALA, the plant-based form), which is one reason they're considered a nutritionally interesting nut on their own.

Why it's harder to find

Most plant-milk brands stick to almond, oat, soy or coconut because they're cheaper and easier to source at scale. Walnut milk is more niche, which is exactly why NJM makes it — pressed fresh, walnuts, water and a pinch of Himalayan salt, with nothing else added.

How to use walnut milk

Its deeper flavour works beautifully in recipes that can carry a nuttier note — think risottos, soups and desserts, not just your morning glass. It's a great one to experiment with once you've already got the plant-milk basics down.
