Joy,

 

I've been using Rice Dream on my cereal and really like it. I

recently noticed that they have it now in regular half gallon milk

containers, so aluminum shouldn't be an issue with that package.

 

On a daily basis I'm taking an additional Selenium tablet aside from

my multi, because Selenium values are always low in patients with

Alzheimers. I also do an Omega 3 fish oil and natural Vitamin E to

avoid dementia.

An alternative to buying rice, soy, almond milk, etc. is to make it. I bought a

maker on eBay that basically heats the water then grinds the grain or nuts up in

a filter basket and lets you know when it is done. They had recipes for many

types of vegan milk. You could do the same thing with a blender and then filter

the milk and I always filter a second time to reduce sediment. The remaining

nut or grain can be used in cooking as well.

 

Remember that many of the vegan milks have little or no calcium like dairy milk

and those in the stores often add it for those concerned about getting enough

calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients.

 

For any of those that have the luxury of a Vitamix mixer, it will do a nice job.

But the Vitamix is the crème de la crème of blenders.

What kind of machine did you buy? How long does the process take

for making milk? How long does it last in refrigerator?

 

I have made almond milk before and the shelf life is very short--day

or so.

 

Thanks.

Carol,

 

Mine is a Vegi Gourmet. It is used by many Asians as most of the directions are

either Chinese, Korean or Japanese, not sure which, but they do have

instructions in English. For cleaning etc. you have to basically follow the

pictures. It looks like a big metal pitcher with plastic top that houses the

motor and plastic bottom.

 

I use it primarily for soy milk which lasts longer than dairy which is true of

the type you buy in the store as well. I will tell you that clean up is a bit

tedious especially the filter basket as removing the residue is not all that

easy at times. But you basically set it and forget it and it will keep beeping

when done until you turn it off. It has settings for regular and extra thick

but I don't find the extra thick to be all that more thicker.
