How to Make Soy Milk, Almond, & Chocolate Hazelnut Milk 

I think it is an awesome video! I LOVE your shirt by the way!!!!

Mic. the Vegan I will buy your shirt Sir! Oh, and I put your other almond milk video on my FB page the other day and people liked it 👍

In the notes you say 1/2 c dry soy MILK. Do you mean beans?

Growing Young MUSLIN? SIEVE? What exactly do you press?

OriginalFirebuck Yeha. :/ He meant beans.

VegAnimation that explains why Unnatural Vegan exposed Mic, he's such a liar omg!

Of course that how you milk almonds. It worked for me.

ik i can't believe the lies the almond milk industry is telling us.

😏

Unnatural Vegan is clearly a shill that backs her view with pharmaceutical bullshit. All these recipes work and are not a a scheme developed by Mic to deceive you. They are classical ingredients made in a Vitamix. that is all

What do you do with the okara?

You can also use it instead of chickpeas for hummus

Thank you.

When I was little, my grandparents also made savory pancakes with it. They are delicious!

Well, the okara produced this way is UNCOOKED.. uncooked beans have toxic substances.. I would not eat this okara... Unless you find a way to cook it in a recipe..

Almond milk is for baby almonds :p

LOL

Matt Lam Honestly, half of me laughed and half of me got triggered.

Yes, and free range.

Quick question, and not entirely on point (also I watched a bunch of your videos, but idk if you covered this in depth): how should a newly transitioning vegan (myself for 8 weeks now) combat gas? 😵💨 And what do you think about the use of Probiotics vs eating prebiotic foods?

Hmm, maybe I should be using different nuts then...

Make sure that they're grass fed, don't want any of that unhealthy peasant almonds.

Once they start lactating, make sure you take the baby almond. The baby almond will take the milk and make it so you can't steal it!

I only use ethical almonds that are pasture raised. I let them choose which other almonds to procreate with and don't artificially inseminate them....mostly.

Inseminate them!

Tristan Devereaux You go to the grocery store to buy the nuts and soy it's not homemade

Go for it, nut milks are delicious af! If you intend to make something sweet with it, then I have a suggestion for you: lay the nuts out in an oven tray and bake them at around 200 °C for about 8-10 mins, you can achieve mindblowingly delicious flavours (be careful, though, DO NOT burn or brown them, you just want a light bake, so they can set free all their aromas. Stand close to the oven and keep watch)

You can make some smoothies with very ripe fruit, mashing them with a fork and using a lot of water. Obviously i know a blender is best though

It's actually easier to make nut milk in a vertical slow juicer. No nut bag required. I make cashew milk all the time in my slow juicer. I use 1 cup nuts to 1.5 cups water. Its soooooo much better than store bought cashew milk, hands down.

I don't filter any of my plant milks. More "rustic" that way, I guess, but more nutritious too. And a lot faster.

sameee!

So are you saying we don't need that special milk bag? Did you also soak your cashews overnight?

yeah you don't need it if you don't mind having some pieces in it (amount depends on how strong your blender is). I don't usually soak mine but that would make it blend better I would assume

Great thanks!

You're amazing!

Sorsha Hi queen!

So are you!

Shorsha!

TheElement OfFyre yes but not really, I ❤️ 🧀

Dooo eeeet. These days, there is a world of variety among plant milks. My latest favorite is oat milk, but I'm the only one who likes this. The trick is not to expect it to "taste" like dairy. Most don't. Oat milk tastes like oats. I like oats, so I enjoy oat milk (also, the viscosity is perfect and silky).

Good on you! Take your time, but here's some tricks to replace dairy already that helped me a lot: -Switch to plant milk -Use hummus instead of cheese on bread -For that cheesy flavor, get some nutritional yeast - great on pastas, bread... you can even make vegan parmezan with it!

Vladimir Yuvachov already got my nutritional yeast, haha. The thing that gives me the most problems are eggs. The only days that are not vegan rn are the days I eat eggs

Vladimir Yuvachov and thanks for your piece of advice ❤️

The only difference is dairy... it's not that big of a change. Man up!

Ahh, I see! That's great! What do you use the eggs for? If it's for omelettes a great replacement would be a tofu scramble - if it's for baking, there's quite many nice vegan pastry recipes and whatnot out there too! But if you simply like boiled eggs I suppose I can't think of an immediate replacement to be honest. And no problem! :D Hope it doesn't come across as pushy, just trying to help out! It usually takes some time to transition, but knowing the right recipes makes it much easier.

Unfermented soy is full of hormones. No need to add!

@@BetterDoneYourself WAIT CAN YOU MAKE NATTO OUT OF TOFU??

@@frankchen4229 no, you need whole soybeans

Jaxon Basra yep. That's why I ferment all my milk and only eat very aged cheese. Fresh milk is no bueno!

@@BetterDoneYourself Soy is unique in that it contains a high concentration of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) that is similar in function to human estrogen but with much weaker effects. ... The two major soy isoflavones are called genistein and daidzein

Metric system ftw!

In engineering a lot of stuff is still in imperial in all other country's.. its fucked.. you just have to learn both.

It's such a pain in the ass when using US recipes, I'll never understand. Pretty much everyone everywhere agrees the metric system is much more user-friendly and logical - why it hasn't changed yet is really a complete mystery to me.

Don't blame US technical people. Most of us would like to get the hell off this stupid units system. The absolute *_worst_* are project I have worked on where some of the units are SI and others English. One project had a major part that was 8 cm by 8 cm by 8 thousandth of an inch thick! Why wasn't thickness given in millimeters? Because the thin films it was built up from were all spec'ed in mils (thousandths of an inch). In a current project I have a generator being driven by a turbine engine. The power coming from the turbine is given in horsepower and the power of the generator is given in watts. At least on this one I insisted that we all work in one unit for power and since we are dealing with electrical power output which is always watts, I got my turbine guy to switch to watts. So I feel your pain.

Vlad. Why don't you just buy yourself some cups? I've got all three: Cups pound/ounces kilograms/grams/litres etc. I actually quite like the simplicity of cups.

Just use blanched almonds, which is just almonds dunked in hot water to get their skins off.

Thanks, but usually I use walnuts.

I've made almond milk with almonds soaked overnight. I've never peeled them.

Kasia Pe wow really? Mind blown. Never thought of WALNUT milk? Is it very bitter? Also, if you don’t take the skin off the almonds when you make it, does it taste grainy?

I'm still laughing. I never peel my nuts either

😂😂😂

U have 69 likes 😂 ,i was gonna like but im not gonna mess it up lol

Kristin R. Free the almond nipples.

LOL

Kristin R. XD XD XD

Spot on comment Sarah Robbins. Mic the Vegan is the King of the Vegans. What an intelligent and capable and very well meaning (caring) person Mic the Vegan is. I work to spend my limited RU-vid time with Michael Greger and Mic the Vegan - two very good influences and sources

Let's Do Better Now you mean Almond juice..... :/

James Oliver Dean sure if you want to call it that :)

some none vegan sent me this xD,, enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JJCTIPWPNtw.html

@@LetsDoBetterNow hes addicted to dairy CasoMorphin

most people probably arent going to do this stuff anyway. it takes way more effort than just grabbing a carton even if it costs less.

or take them out for a date either 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

No you have to milk the almonds udders.

Hmmm...milk with melon seeds. That sounds interesting.

Oh. My gosh. That's brilliant! I'm going to try this...

I was thinking the same. Why strain out the almond bits?

Lisa Morelli Daly lol you're never too old to make a change and see results. You'll probably experience overall more longevity. I've seen older vegans. You'll find some like minded people.

You're not too old to gain the benefits. Think about heart disease, diabetes, cancer and weight problems. Old people, like me, have those problems big time. And going plant based gets rid of them.

I've been vegan or vegetarian since 1989, when I was 38. Went whole foods plant based in February of this year at the ripe old age of 65. You're never too old.

I'm 66 and just went vegan. Never too late

I went whole food plant based no added oil in February at 65 and a half. I'm noww 66, 45 pounds lighter, off insulin, and reduced meds for diabetes. BP 110/70, cholesterol under 160, resting pulse 60. You're never too old to go vegan!

Whenever I go to a vegan's house and they don't have a Vitamix, I know that they aren't serious vegans :-D

papparocket so true...I'm totally a clown vegan...!!! 😜

a Nutri bullet works just as well as a Vitamix, it's just a bit smaller, but 1/10th of the price.

Maybe they are just poor vegans.

NinJA Too!

That actually sounds pretty good.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say yes, you are definitely the only weirdo here. The rest of us are just decidedly odd.

papparocket hahaha

i dont but tht sounds like a delicious idea!

Thoughts On Banana, 🍌Banana milk drinker, here, (Banana milk is my usual, go to, first, because I have no high powered blender, and second, no nut milk bag.) so, hey, Where's the carob? I'm having a rough time finding carob anywhere, and chocolate powder seems to have too much caffiene. (irregular💓 heartbeat bothering me after a tiny bit on my peaches. ) 😇🍌,🥜

tuzmo you most definitely need a new blender 😂

@@JDBob3 hey...that's lot of information for my tiny brain

Dudefromspace567 No you are filtering not all the fiber just some of it Also phytonutrients & minerals & vitamins

John Constantin after high speed blending there is no fiber left

Then just put the almond milk back in the blender after you squeeze the pulp out, add the dates and blend it again.

Veinous Sure, the fibre does not disappear, it just becomes useless.

dobster Do you know what fiber is? You cant form glucose from fiber just by blending it

Dark Enforcer depends what you measure. In water its around 125ml.

Cup is a volume measure and grams is weight -- which varies by ingredient, of course. 70g for 1/2 cup of almonds or hazelnuts 90g for 1/2 cup of dry soybeans For water, each cup is about 250ml.

Use the internet for conversions. Just type in cups to grams.

James, that study was done ONLY on men who smoke and has no known connection to non-smokers. You gotta read the articles, not just the headlines.

Duncan Bananatyne B12: Not Even Once.

Did you get the part where you add almonds or hazelnuts to the water? Maybe that is where you went astray. ;-) Actually if you are comparing this almond milk to commercial almond milk it will be thinner because the stuff you can by in the store has thickeners like carrageenan or guar gum and the like added to make it taste "creamer". It is an illusion, but if you want to add this illusion to your homemade stuff I bet you could add a couple teaspoons of ground flaxseed or chia seeds before you blend it. I have never done that myself, just extrapolating from my experience cooking with "flax eggs" as a thickener/binder replacement for eggs.

papparocket he is referencing the video.the guy said almond milk tasted like water
