Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi: Over the holiday I made some almond milk. I soaked natural almonds about 1cup and 1/2 added 3.5 cups water. I did not have a nut bag so I used a stainless steel strainer. after straining I put the milk back in the vitamix with 1 tsp vanilla and 2 dates. after I finished blending I put the results into a container in the refrigerator. The next day you could see the pulp so strained again. Next day same thing had to strain again. So my question is, will the nut bag be the answer or do you have to strain the finished almond milk on a daily basis? Also would anyone know the calorie amount from a cup of freshly made almond milk? Thank you in advance as I am still learning how to use my vitamix. Happy Holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've made almond milk and just used a tea towel to strain it. I line a strainer with the towel, pour in the liquid, let it sit for a while to naturally strain out then gather up the edges and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! It works well for me (until I can buy a bag). RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God. On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 3:51 PM, <sparky_89_99@...> wrote: Thanks I just checked the QVC book I received with my Vitamix - page 74 for calories.
