Almond Soy Milk
Recipe: #9284
April 27, 2013
"I got so tired of buying packaged almond milk, since its so expensive (around $3.50 for a half gallon) and since it has so many unidentifiable ingredients, so I recently ordered a Soya Joy soy milk maker. For around 65 cents for a half gallon, I couldn't be happier with it. There are all kinds of blends you can make, but this one is my favorite so far. It has the benefits of both almond milk and soy milk, lasts about 4 days in the refrigerator (if you don't use it all up by then like I do), and has the consistency of 1% cow's milk. But of course, it has none of the saturated fat or cholesterol of animal milk. The addition of the oats makes it creamier, and it can be sweetened with a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup, but I like it the way it is."
