can I use it to make Almond milk?

I actually bought this for my daughter, but I am pretty sure she made almond mild with it.

Yes! Just soak the raw almonds overnight. Put a handful at a time through the juicer and use the attachment with the small holes. Put all the ground up almond paste and any liquid in a pitcher with water. Let sit for a few hours, then strain. You can use all the sediment to make almond cookies cakes.

I do not believe it is fine enough for ground nuts. However, when time permits, I anticipate trying almond milk myself and will keep you in mind.

I am sure you can use the machine with any kind of beans or nuts, I didn't try with almond yet but I did with black eye pea & soybean, it came out perfect.

Yes you can 1 cup (230 gr) almond flour2 Medjool dates, pitted , optional for sweetness1/2 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract5 cups (960 mL) watergenerous pinch of sea saltCombine all ingredients in a blender with a tight fitting lid. Blend on high speed for 3-4 minutes. Pour liquid through a cloth lined strainer placed over a large bowl. Strain almond milk through strainer. Reserve almond meal for another use, dry in oven or dehydrator to use as flour. Refrigerate to chill.Makes approx 5 cups almond milkPS commercial milks have thickeners often, if you want it a bit thicker you can add something like tapioca blended in too.

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

No. That would be nasty. It doesn't dissolve. Google how to make almond milk. It is made from whole almonds.

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

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

So far I used lactaid 2% and are going to try fat free milk and I have no trouble with these milks. I can't see any problem that would happen with almond milk if you use a good base yogurt as starter. I use plain greek yogurt for base. I love this machine and wish you luck

I do not know if you can make Malted Milk. I just use is as a sweetener. Tracy

You certainly could, but then you wouldn't have good air flow and I think it would leave a mess in your refrigerator. It would not be my recommendation. However, I have considered (but not yet tried) using one for a extra large nut milk bag...why not? The size is great for a double batch and they wash and dry well on a rack.

Yes... in the booklet that come with it (or in my case I had to request the book sent in snail mail) says you can use Soy or Almond milks also,that will be my next project to try making the yogurt with Almond and soy milks.

Yes Vitamix 5200 can make Nut milks of all sorts. For almond milk you add 1 cup of raw almonds (or cashews to make cashew milk) with 3 cups of water, and add any sweetener to taste if you want to add sweetness. Only takes 2 minutes. The ratios of nuts/seeds to water vary when making other milks like sesame, coconut, soy, and rice. But it can make all of these and more.

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

No! You can make an almond milk yogurt, but you must use almonds that have been grounded up and soaked. Store bought "almond milk" has other ingredients in it.

Yes! You can use any kind of milk (whole, skim, almond, soy). Just make sure to add a couple tablespoons of honey. Or look for a recipe on internet.

Yes since you're adding calories it will only enhance the almond milk, plus anything else you might add ;)
