Has anyone used these almonds for nut milk? I typically buy mine from nuts.com, but I'm trying to find a less expensive alternative. Thanks!

I have never used them to make nut milk so can't answer that question. I buy the ones that are 20% halves with pieces and also the ones that are whole. I like the Kirkland brand as they arrive fresh tasting and if refrigerated stay fresh until they are used up.

Kirkland nuts are excellent, premium nuts. If you have a Costco membership, but from Costco. Otherwise, get these. They are fantastic. I use them for homemade granola as well.

I used up a whole bag of this within 2 weeks. Found out you have to soak them for at least 8 hours, to activate some sort of enzyme or deactivate some acids for better nutrient absorption. So I soak plenty for 5 days usage, then rinse & drain them & keep them in a plasticware in the frig to use as needed. These almonds are good sized & nice. I also buy from CAalmonds online, their almonds are a bit smaller, but more intense in taste. So I like both brands.

Yes, I use them all the time to make almond milk. I just soak them overnight and they work great!

Yes, I just made some this morning with these almonds and have used these before for almond milk. They make it tasty!

You don't have to use eggs, there a lot of different recipes! I've never tried it with soy milk or almond milk but I'm guessing it would work just fine!! Now I might have to try making some! :-)

Well, I threw in 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 3 frozen strawberries and a handful of spinach. I didn't have any almond milk, so I added about a cup of water and 1/4 cup of almonds and blended it to oblivion. :) I thought it was delicious. Maybe the "almond milk" helped. I have put a little scoop of plain yogurt in sometimes, too. I have also done it with a couple of oranges and some ice (instead of OJ) and that worked great, too. I usually throw in some greens and can't even taste them. :)

I don't have the box any more or any of the packets from it. I normally would tell you that almonds should be kosher but today they can be packaged in an non-kosher facility. Hopefully some else can tell you. If not see if you can find this brand in a store.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

First latte I made I used Almond milk and it tasted horrid. Though I like Almond Milk just fine in my cereal it made the latte' undrinkable. I now use 1% cow milk and its perfect.

I did make almond milk with it. It came out a little thick. It doesn't have a setting to make an unheated milk like you usually would for almond milk. Unless the juice button is it. There are no instructions for it. I just used the soymilk button. I returned mine and got one that is a lot less work and has a mill button for making raw nut milks. The milk turns out way smoother too. I have the soyabella now.

I tried the almond milk and it didn't froth up very well for me. So far my favorite is Lactose Free Milk which I heat in microwave about 20-25 seconds and then froth up....yum.

I used almond milk tonight for the 1st time and it wouldn't froth at all. I finished making my latte,though cause I was curious,but it tasted bad..therefore,if you want to use an alternative to cow's milk,choose soy milk. I especially like an unsweetened vanilla kind since I like my drinks sugar-free.

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've only made almond milk with mine. It comes out cold as I start with cold distilled water. Making milk only grinds the nuts you've soaked overnight and combines the "juice of the nut" with the water. There is no heat in this process. Maybe doing something else with it uses heat.

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything!'

Hey Alyvia B. They taste suprisingly good :) I use almond milk with mine, I think it makes it taste sweeter. They only thing I would give you a heads up on is if you let it sit for a couple of minutes, shake it before you drink again.

My last shipment was the same too. There was no difference in the taste. I stirred it up and used as normal. I would imagine this is not atypical given that there is nothing other than almonds in the container.

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.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

Please tell me how. I just bought one and have been trying Trader's Joe Almond Breeze original (unsweetened) three times and no luck. I bought it because I read here that it does. Any hints? Thanks
