Does it make almond meal?

you'd probably be better off with a stronger blender, or even a coffee grinder.

Hi MB, I have not tried this but I didn't want to answer no as it very well may. John C.

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

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

It will cook the soy or almond at the same time. This will eliminate the after taste of raw beams. To me.....it's less pot/pan for me to clean. Enjoy!

The term 'meal' and 'flour' are used interchangeably. Technically, almond 'flour' doesn't exist but it is used in low carb or gluten free recipes as a flour substitute (e.g. making a crust for a pie). Flour or meal...it's just finely ground almonds.

I haven't made almond meal/flour myself but I believe it would based on it crushes ice in less than 5 seconds and it's a fine grind.

No, almond meal and almond flour need more eggs and liquids than regular flour. I usually add 2 eggs and at least 1/2 cup of liquid to the recipe but to be honest I rarely substitute preferring to follow recipes specifically for almond meal or almond flour.

I haven't tried it. Are you trying to create slivered almonds? If you want chopped walnuts or almonds, use a Pampered Chef chopper; just a few chops and your done.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

Yes, does a great job making almond butter. I've not made peanut butter, but have the impression that almond butter is more challenging for a food processor. I've made it (almond butter) 3 or 4 times. It takes about 12-15 minutes, & doesn't seem to stress the machine. (I do let it rest in ~30 second increments after running for 1 - 1.5 minutes at a time, just to avoid any problems). Once it reaches creamy consistency, let it go for another 1.5 - 2 minutes & it'll get creamier (& easier to stir into other foods, etc.).

Yes. It makes pretty good catsup. You can use your favorite recipe. Just cut in half.

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

Yup. Well, I've only made almond butter, but I would think it's the same. I've also made raw cereal with it.

Well it does do almond milk, and its not like its worlds simpler, so yes. I believe the instructions say to use the "porridge" button, but I forget exactly which button. I recommend you read through the comments since there are a lot of people commenting on that.

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.
