milk-in-blender

Plain soy milk is great for making smoothies and using in baked goods, but sometimes you just want something different.
 

For a slightly sweeter “milk” that’s perfect for smoothies and all of your baked goodies, try making this brown rice and almond milk in your Soyabella Soymilk Maker.

Ingredients

1/2 cup almonds, shelled
1/2 cup long-grain brown rice
8 dried, unsulphered pitted dates

Instructions

Soak almonds and rice overnight. Drain and rinse, then run through your Soyabella machine like normal. When the cycle is complete, pour the milk into a clean container and add the dates. Let cool for about an hour, then pour into a blender and process until smooth.
 

This delicious milk is very thick and can be used in nearly any way you would use milk or cream. Try it hot with a splash of vanilla and a shake of cinnamon on top.

One of the reasons that many people put off buying a soy milk maker is their fear of the cleaning process. They think that cleaning a soy milk maker is complicated and takes a long time.

Take a Few Minutes

Fortunately for those of us who love making soy milk at home, this just isn’t true. Making your own soy milk is a rewarding experience that also happens to be very simple. After you’re done making a batch of soy milk, it’s important to start cleaning the equipment right away. If you let the screen and other components dry before you clean them, it will be much more difficult to get the pieces clean.

Keep it Clean for Delicious Soy Milk

After your Soyabella Soymilk Maker runs its course and makes you a batch of delicious soy milk, empty the pulp (okara) and immediately clean the screen in hot, soapy water. You’ll have a clean soy milk maker in less than 10 minutes with no stress. Keeping all washable parts of your soy milk maker clean will ensure that your soy milk tastes terrific time after time.

Soy milk is fast becoming the milk of choice for the more health-conscious generation of today. 

Soy Milk Fans 

Now, if you are a fan of this health drinkmaker-small.jpg, how can you do your share in helping save the environment while drinking soymilk? You can buy your very own soymilk maker and do your share in the ‘clean and green’ campaign with the following:
 

• First, you can stop buying soymilk from cans, plastic and cardboard containers.  When you have your very own soymilk maker at home, all you need to have is the raw ingredients and a tall glass or a big mug to pour your soymilk in!
 

•  Second, you can recycle the byproduct of soymilk which is the pulp – by converting it into a baking ingredient that is also high in fiber.
 

• Third, soybeans – the mother product of soymilk – replenish the Earth’s soil instead of depleting it. 
 

• Finally, you can help with the world’s growing problem of food shortage by producing your own milk –all with the help of a nifty kitchen gadget called the soymilk maker. 


Organic SoybeansA little-known fact about making your own soy milk and tofu is that there are different types of soybeans to use for different purposes.  Some soybeans are best for processing into products like meat substitutes.  Others are best for harvesting young and eating straight out of the pod (edamame).  And some types of soybeans are ideal for being made into the creamy soy milk that you know and love so well.

Soybean Types 

Although there are some soybean types, like the Laura soybean, that are pretty much universally loved for soy milk, the type of bean that you use will depend largely on personal tastes.  Some people like a tangier taste to their soy milk and others like a smooth and mellow taste.

Mix and Match Soybeans 

The best way to find the perfect soybean type for you is to try a few different kinds.  Order a small quantity of several types and make a batch of soy milk with each.  Ask your family to try each type and keep notes on what you liked and disliked about each one.  You may even want to try a custom blend of two or more types of soy beans.  That way you will get the benefits of your favorite types all mixed into one delicious milk.

Find the Soybean for your taste

There are many sources for ordering soybeans online these days.  Many sellers will be happy to send you a sample of their beans if you don’t want to invest in a large quantity right away.  It’s definitely worth the time and effort it takes to find the perfect soybean for your tastes.

 


soy foodsIf you are into health stuff and love to go up and down the health section of your local grocery, chances are you have picked up your fair share of soymilk to consume at home.
 

But there is also a great way to get the good stuff without having to go to the grocery – a way that also allows you to save six to ten times on this particularly yummy and healthy drink!

Great Kitchen Appliance

If you want to stay healthy and spend less, you should consider getting a soymilk maker and make it a part of your kitchen. This is a kitchen appliance that cooks soymilk straight from the soybeans itself.
 

Many people are turning to soymilk makers because they realize they can save so much if they simply buy the soybeans and make the soymilk themselves. The great thing about soymilk makers is that you can also customize your beverage to suit your taste or even if you have any specific nutritional requirement.

Save Time and Money

In addition, the soymilk maker also processes okara, which is a soy pulp by-product that is a great ingredient to use when you are cooking up many healthy recipes at home.
 

The more traditional means of making soymilk at home will require of you more than just a bit of elbow grease, and this is where the maker comes in. It is able to perform the entire process of turning soybeans into milk on its own as a way of saving you not just money, but time as well.


glass of soymilkIf there is one drink that has become a staple in vegetarian diets, that is none other than soymilk.  Over the years, it is not just the vegetarians but also the lactose-intolerant individuals who are making the switch from cow’s milk to soymilk. Finally, it has a lot of health benefits that you just cannot find from an ordinary carton of cow’s milk. 

Some quick facts about soymilk:

1. Soymilk is a great protein source alternative which does not contain as much calories as cow’s milk.
 
2. Soymilk is a great calcium source alternative for those who are lactose intolerant.
 
3. Soymilk, produced from soybeans, is rich in unsaturated fats.
 
4. Soymilk is rich is isoflavones, phytochemicals and antioxidants which all help reduce the risks of cancer.
 
5. Soymilk is high in dietary fiber content, making soymilk help reduce the risks of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.

Make your own Soymilk

If you would like to enjoy all these benefits and more, you can easily buy a soymilk maker. Soymilk making machines are a cheap way to produce your own milk. It is more practical than buying carton after carton of soymilk from the supermarket.  Finally, you can gain control of the additional ingredients that can be incorporated with your soymilk.


Those who are already familiar with the taste of soymilk would know that it is not just ideal for those who are lactose intolerant – but for everyone who would like to experience additional benefits to their health.

High quality calcium in soymilk

As compared to cow’s milk, soymilk contains more high-quality calcium and less saturated fat.  It also helps prevent the risks of prostate cancer, it lowers your bad cholesterol level and it is high in fiber.
 

Now, just like sipping coffee from your very own cappuccino machine, soymilk tastes a lot better if it is made from your very own ‘milk machine’.  When you compare all the other soymilk makers in the market today, Soyabella Soymilk Maker is the best of the lot.

Great Features

If you’re as useless as I am in the kitchen, you would appreciate the easy one-touch operation of the Soymilk Maker – which has multiple program settings. For decreased clutter, it has a detachable power cord. 
 

Also, Soyabella has an elegant black trim in stainless steel carafe.  What I personally like about the design is the enclosed heating coil, making it safe to handle.  Finally, there’s an easy-pour spout so filling your glass with soymilk is a breeze. 

Award winning Machine

The Soyabella Soymilk Maker gets five stars in my book for the design, functionality and aesthetic quality.  Apparently, others agree because it won the 2007 Bronze Award of Excellence for recognition in product innovation.  Not bad for something which makes milk healthy and easy, right?

Soymilk MakerI like drinking soy milk, but sometimes, it is quite hard to come by. There are very few health food stores in our area, and only a few of them supply the good quality soy milk that I am looking for. I am so glad that you have the soy milk maker in your catalogue!
 

Now I can prepare my own healthy beverage and enjoy it anytime I want to. I am also assured that I know exactly what goes into the soy milk that I drink and I know that I am not letting any unwanted preservatives in my body.

vegetarian milkI have never heard of vegetarian milk before I found it on your website, but I am willing to try anything once, so I ordered the soymilk machine and made a batch. I gave it a try and my whole outlook on dairy products has changed forever!
 

Coming up with this online store is such a great idea; products like these are more accessible to consumers like me. Now I know that milk doesn’t have to come from an animal to taste really good! Thank you for helping me on the way to healthier choices!
