I consume soy milk every morning with my protein

powder and smoothie concoction. If you have a better,

way, please tell me. I have suspected the soy milk is

like a glob of fat and is tough to digest. I would

love to hear what you have to say on the

matter.<br><br>If one has to drink the "poison", I do suggest

Westbrae unsweetend as the other brands are like drinking

a chocolate shake as they have so much

sugar.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>ESPW

I'm also interested in a simple way to make fresh sesame milk or almond milk...I

think the soy stuff is kind of thick and sugary, too.

I've used an almond milk recipe from Fit for Life

for a number of years as it's easy and good for

almond shakes. You do need a food processor

though:<br><br>Put a 1/4 cup of raw almonds and a cup of water

(blanch almonds if you don't won't flecks of brown almond

skin/husk in your milk) in food processor and turn on high

for 1-3 minutes.<br><br>And you're done.

<br><br>Add 3 frozen bananas and a cup of frozen blue

berries/strawberries or raspberries and oh my god you won't believe

it's good for you. Num!

El Senor - it is my privilege to share with you.

This involves a blender (any will do but i think mine

has a turbo lawnmower motor - the

vitamix).<br><br>You will need a mesh baggie to strain the milk after

blending (someone said they got theirs from a hardware

store - i can pass on my source also if you don't have

one).<br><br>Alternate what you use for the base of the milk so that one

may detect any preferences and effects - almonds may

be irritating to some (note sneezing or funny

feeling in throat).<br><br>Almonds: soak a few overnight

(half cup - 8 hrs) in purified good water. Rinse. Put

in blender with some purified water - 1 cup or

more). Blend till liquid.( 30 seconds). Pour through

mesh bag and gently squeeze the bag like milking a cow

(sorry mrs cow). Use more nuts for creamier version, or

put in a date or 3 for sweeter flavor.<br>To speed

the process i first pour it through a big strainer,

then pour the liquid through the mesh bag to remove

all fine pulp. Then put all the pulp back into the

blender with a little more water - blend at least for 30

secs - this milk will be thinner. Squeeze through mesh

baggie and combine all the milk.<br><br>You can play

around with the quantities - more nuts with same amount

water = cream. Also experiment with seeds.<br><br>Use

hemps seeds with the almonds for a blended nut-seed

milk (almonds and seeds in quantity of your choice). I

do sesame/hemp (this has a bitter flavor because of

sesame) or sesame/almond, sesame hemp - you get my

drift.<br><br>It ends up going really fast when you're in the

habit. I just learnt that the longer you soak the seeds(

it sort of starts a fermentation process) the

shorter the milk lasts in the fridge. If you want to make

enough to use later in the day - ok. But freshly made

milk tastes sooo much better than using yesterday's

(yech). Bon appetit!

hi amrita - let me know if you need more specifics and if you were able to find

the mesh bag. I'm seeing a girl who distributes her own bags on tuesday - maybe

she can give us a good deal.
