Roasting extends shelf life and enhances flavor.
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
Spread peanuts, almonds, soybeans, and pumpkin seeds on separate trays.
Roast for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cool completely before blending.
Step 2: Toast the Rolled Oats
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add rolled oats and toast for 5–7 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
Remove and cool.
(This step prevents spoilage and adds a nutty taste.)
Step 3: Prepare the Chia Seeds
Simply measure out 2–3 tablespoons.
No roasting or soaking required.
Step 4: Blend Everything Together
In a high-powered blender or grinder, combine roasted nuts, seeds, soybeans, oats, and chia seeds.
Blend in batches to avoid overheating.
Once a powder forms, add milk powder and blend again until smooth.
Sift to remove larger chunks if needed.
Step 5: Store It Properly
Transfer to an airtight jar or container.
Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if you live in a humid area.
Use within 4–6 weeks for best freshness.
For longer storage, freeze in small airtight portions.
