Does this work well for making almond milk?

I found it to be ok...I was not happy with how it made green smoothies or almond milk so I upgraded to a vitamix. This is a good blender for the price but if you are doing recipes like almond milk and any other raw recipes you may want to consider a more powerful blender.

I have never made almond milk, but I bet it would work well. Makes amazing hummus.

Yes for certain! I only use this to make Almond yoghurt currently. I have tested other brand, but am sticking to this since it is easier to make in one tub. I do not add any thickeners or other additives, therefore the yoghurt will come out runny, my main aim is to get better by getting a lot of good bacteria; I know that the Almond yoghurt that I make gives me more bacteria than any capsule would give. I use one and a quarter cup of blanched almonds per quart of Almond milk, I soak the blanched almonds for 24 hours and blend them for about 8 minutes, then I strain through cheesecloth. I then add 2 tablespoons of Honey per quart, to give the bacteria added fuel to multiply. Then I go through the yoghurt making process as per Yogourmet instructions, I normally ferment for 15 hours, but lately have increased the time to 18 hours (I think that this 3 hour increase gives even more bacteria). There if a point where the bacterial population start to collapse if you keep fermenting for longer than 24 hours, I have not gone that far yet. All the best to you!

Never used a nut bag. We've made Almond Milk numerous times using the machine and it works well. Just need to soak Almonds overnight and don't use too much water. Follow the proportion of almonds to water they give you and it will come out fine.

I've used it to make peanut butter, but not almond butter. Really great machine for everything I've tried.

I use almond and whole milk...both are great. The whole milk foams really well when I only do one serving.

I have only made almond milk. If you want me to tell you how to do that, I would be happy to.

I think it would be quite good to strain almonds for almond milk. Less messy than the bag, too.

I would think it would, only because I haven't actually used it for milk once! I used it to whip a salad dressing that was more of a glaze and it was amazingly mixed/whipped so if it does that for vinegar and oil, i think it would make warm almond milk frothy as well! :)

It did when I made it. almonds are so expensive I only made it once and all I remember is that the milk was AMAZING!!! way way better than anything you can buy in the store. The way it grinds it makes so that it will strain out all or most fine pulp and leave you with silky milks. :)

I have not tried it - but my vegetarian daughter says you can use it successfully on Almond Milk.

Yes, but it doesn't always come out as thick; sometimes your grains will get all temperamental when you switch things up on them (like even just switching milk brands can throw them off a batch or two). I use mine to make almond milk kefir and coconut milk kefir but it only ever comes out thicker if I add a tsp or 2 of coconut sugar (separation happens regardless). Sugar and minerals are what kefir grains ultimately feed on, which is why I add a tiny amount of coconut sugar (it's rich in minerals). It's also a good idea to do milk batches every once in a while, otherwise they'll starve.

Yes, I always use it with milk.. Regular milk works best. I have used almond milk also but it doesn't turn out as well.

I make my almond milk with it, but if you squeeze too hard it can tear and break thru. It Is pretty tough stuff and good quality for the price. I would buy again.

Yes, I think so. I use it to with almond milk to make naturally flavored coffee creamers and I have had to cut down on the amount of coconut I use because it is so intense.

Yes, I often make almond and hazelnut milk with the blender. The trick is the longer you allow the nuts the soak, the softer they will be when you blend. You may also need to blend in two batches. They longer you blend them, the finer the nuts will become.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!

Yes. Almond,milk does froth quite nicely. Froth is thick but not stiff. Very nice for latte.
