Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I used to make soy milk often...until I developed an extreme allergy to it, quite likely because MOST soy available in the US and UK is GMO and quite controversial to use-my allergies to it alone were enough to cause me years of painful health issues, so I avoid it and recommend that others do as well-there is a LOT of issues with soy. That said, if you CHOOSE to use soy (I recommend heavy research and personal judgment if you do), I am happy to share how to make soy milk, but I HIGHLY recommend either nut, rice, almond, cashew, sunflower or grain milk instead-all easily made in the Vitamix. To make soy milk, I used to soak my soybeans overnight, then cook them in my crockpot for a couple of hours, then buzz them up in the Vitamix and strain them through a nutmilk bag. You can add a touch of agave nectar and/or a couple of drops of sunflower oil to give it a bit of sweetness and a better mouthfeel, I am confused by the recommendation to only cook the beans for 15 minutes, since that isn't near enough time to get them soft, or to reduce the bitterness in them-from my experience anyway. Organic (non gmo) soybeans are VERY hard to come by, and there is a lot of controversy over whether they can truly even be organic, since the GMO of soy is so widespread-very likely that all of it has been cross contaminated with GMO things-so please do research it (start by googling " roundup ready soy) I find rice milk to be a simpler, tastier, and less fiddly " milk " to make. > > > Hi all, I have a couple of questions.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Shalom!I'm with on doing the research on choosing soy - it is a controversial subject. It is recommended to only use fermented,organic soy if using soy.That said, if one chooses organic (this non-GMO) soy beans and desires to make soy milk, I must say (IMHO) that an automatic soymilk maker is preferred over cooking the soybeans, using the VM and having to strain the okara. I did this :-) I recommend the SoyaJoy Automatic Soymilk Maker. (No, I don't sell products, but I review them professionally). You can read about it here or at: http://www.soymilkmaker.com/index.html The G3 is the latest model. OTOH, if you have the VitaMix, you CAN do as described and make the soymilk by cooking, buzzing and straining, but having done both methods, I greatly prefer the automatic soymilk maker. It works as easily and quickly as a coffee maker does and it uses soaked soybeans. -- ~~In Messiah Yeshua,Vickilynn Haycraft, Real Food Living, Examiner.com, Get Real - Get Prepared radio showMicah 6:8http://www.realfoodliving.com http://www.blog.realfoodliving.comhttp://www.examiner.com/housewares-in-national/vickilynn-haycraft http://www.examiner.com/family-preparedness-in-national/vickilynn-haycrafthttp://www.bepreparedradio.com/category/prepper-podcasts-health/get-real-get-prepared/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Great recommendation, Vickilynn-I started to suggest the soyajoy, as i have used it and loved it (it works great for nut/rice/grain milks too), but I wanted to be sure that it was clear you CAN do it in the Vitamix, but I also recommend the separate maker-works a charm. > > Shalom! > > I'm with on doing the research on choosing soy - it is a > controversial subject.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I watched the SoyaJoy G3 videos. Looks so easy. We go through about a gallon a week of almond milk (spend $35-40 a month). I tried making almond milk, but wasn't thrilled with popping the seeds out of the skins and straining and squeezing (have a bad wrist). Just wondering how easy the G3 is to clean?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cleaning any appliance is easy if you do it IMMEDIATELY after use-enzymes quickly make stuff adhere, so washing right away helps-I keep a battery operated electric toothbrush on my kitchen sink for just such tasks-works great. I just sprinkle baking soda on it and clean any screens, nooks, crannies, etc. We are all mostly conditioned to think milk, whether cows milk or almond/grain/nut, etc should be snow white, but if you can get past that, there is no need to skin your almonds/nuts before making milk, and you can easily the milk drip drain into a container with a jelly strainer rack like this http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=jelly+strainer & oe=UTF-8 & hl=en & client=safari & um=1 & ie=UTF-8 & tbm=shop & cid=18026951725319687186 & sa=X & ei=8tIJT4_dF4Tc0QHEgdGDAg & ved=0CE8Q8wIwAg (google pic, I know nothing about the seller and I buy mine in my local hardware store) Just put a container under the rack (glass measuring cup works great), let it drip, then give a gentle squeeze with a pair of spatula type tongs. The milk will be slightly grey or light tan, but much less fiddly to make.Sent from my iPadOn Jan 8, 2012, at 12:14 PM, <jupiter7@...> wrote: I watched the SoyaJoy G3 videos. Looks so easy.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks, and Vickilynn. I agree, immediate cleanups are a must. Maybe I'll give making almond milk with the Vita-Mix another try. If I'm not happy with my results, I'll try the G3, which seems useful if I decide to make more than just almond milk. ... Who am I kidding. I'm a gadget gatherer, so I'll probably end up buying the G3 just for the ability to make a variety of milks so easily and quickly. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 My G3 just arrived today. I wish I had thought to buy soybeans yesterday so I could have had them soaked in order to try the machine tonight. I'm going to soak the beans that came with it tonight and try it in the morning before I leave for work. Any tips or things I should know that are not in the instructions?? I've been reading about the benefits of soy for women " of a certain age " to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause. I laughed when I read there was no translation for " hot flash " in Japanese. Hopefully as I am introducing myself to eating a more plant based diet, the G3 along with Vitamix will be a new friend. ~another gadget gatherer > > > LOL, -you are in the right place to meet up with like minded gadget gatherers!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Congratulations! That was fast!!Wash everything well before 1st use (except power head).Yes, do soak the beans, that is a must. Discard soaking water and rinse well.Follow the instructions - this thing is SO simple. Place the beans in, add water, make sure the head is well-seated. Turn it on. Wait. It's done. Be careful, the milk is HOT when finished.Strain the milk right away (don't use the plastic jug that comes with it) and either flavor now or wait until cooled. The recipe book has some really yummy recipes. Wash the parts IMMEDIATELY if not sooner! LOL! Seriously, it will clean up fast and easy, but the key is washing it right away. When the G3 beeps, strain the milk into a container, and right away, wash the machine and the parts (except the power head), then tend to the milk.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thank you Vickilynn!! I love Amazon Prime 2 day free shipping :)I did get a glass jug when I ordered the machine just for storing the soy milk in the fridge. I *think* I can strain directly into it but if not, I have a huge glass measuring cup with a spout I can use for straining then transferring into into the jug for the fridge. I am in the habit of washing the vitamix before I even drink my green drinks so I will keep that habit in place for the G3.I've been looking at uses for the okara left in the strainer. Do you use it or toss it?? Will it keep for a couple days in the fridge for later use?Thank you again for your help, I am so new to all of this and am trying to make better nutritional choices. I'm just so tired of being tired all the time!! I know what I eat will make a difference to my total well being.On Jan 12, 2012, at 5:25 PM, Vickilynn Haycraft wrote: Congratulations!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Kirstin, Okara, lovely fiber. Yes, keep. It stays well in the fridge for a few days. The recipe book has some recipes using okara and there are LOTS on the 'net, depending on what you like. It can be a bit gritty so you can puree it further with whatever liquids you are using it in using the VitaMix. I have successfully used it like that in breads, muffins AND I've dehydrated it then powdered it and used it as soy flour. Have lots of fun! Remember freshly-made soymilk does not have the flavor of store-bought, it's simply the milk made from beans and water, you'll need to flavor to your liking, as I said the recipes that come with it give you an idea of what to use, but it depends on your tastes. Some people like to flavor it warm and drink it right away, some like to wait until it's cooled. It's good to add to VitaMix for smoothies, sauces, gravies etc. Enjoy all your milk-making!-- ~~In Messiah Yeshua,Vickilynn Haycraft, Real Food Living, Examiner.com, Get Real - Get Prepared radio showMicah 6:8http://www.realfoodliving.com http://www.blog.realfoodliving.comhttp://www.examiner.com/housewares-in-national/vickilynn-haycraft http://www.examiner.com/family-preparedness-in-national/vickilynn-haycrafthttp://www.bepreparedradio.com/category/prepper-podcasts-health/get-real-get-prepared/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Since I don't use soy, I make " tofu " in my okara press from other types of beans. They all work pretty much the same way, and will take on the flavor of whatever you cook them with. My daughter likes a blend of white beans, garlic and onion pressed in to a cake, sliced and sauteed in butter. Very nutritious way to use up the pulp from bean/grain milks! Just be sure to use food grade magnesium sulfate as your coagulant, rather than the type sold where pool stuff is sold. > > Hi Kirstin, > > Okara, lovely fiber. Yes, keep.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 My first go was this morning using the beans that came with the machine. It was delicious!!! I added a sprinkle of salt and just a tiny bit of grade B maple syrup to it while it was warm and drank a 24 oz glass for breakfast. Clean up was easy. I can't wait for my order of the soybeans to arrive early next week!! I'm probably going to stop at a whole foods store today just to get enough for the weekend.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am so excited. My new soyajoy G3 arrived today. I won't make any though until probably Monday as I still have some storebought to use up first. I can't wait to make some soy, almond, rice, etc. etc. with it. I won't ever have to run out to the store for expensive healthy milks again.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yay, I look forward to your report on the G3. I am very interested in going beyond soy milk. I have made cashews, sunflower, and almonds a part of smoothies in that they are turned into milk, but not just by themselves. Velda On 1/13/2012 10:06 PM, Navarro wrote: I am so excited.
