      I like trying different recipes. I use about 50 soaked almonds in 1 tsp each of Apple cider vinegar and Himalayan Salt for 8 to 12 hours in 110 degrees dehydrator. If I leave it out longer they will sprout. I let that happen sometimes. In my Almond Cow machine, I am able to add 50 almonds, 2 tblspn organic cinnamon and 2 tblspn organic cocoa nibs with 4 organic dates. I clean the dates by soaking them and using my finger wiping them down with Apple cider vinegar and water. In 6 cups of R/O water this gets blended but keeping all the pulp in a container to separate the milk from the pulp. I love my Almond milk. Some people said it taste like Horchata but way more healthy. There is a button to press to get it going i press that twice. Much creamer pulp and the milk is blended better. This machine makes drinking my homemade almond milk much easier to make!

Please don’t mess with that! Not every baby has access to breast milk for many reasons, and some have allergic reactions to formula, so alternatives must be found.

      If your child tolerates dairy feed her real dairy, if you can get your hands on raw cow or goat milk that’s liquid gold! No milk supplement will ever compare none! The nutrients in these fake milks is not nearly as bioavailable as real dairy. Real dairy will help your child not only keep strong bones and teeth, but it will also help your toddler develop proper jaw and facial structure, yes making them more attractive. Hope this helps! Also some kids that don’t tolerate milk from the grocery store do in fact sometimes tolerate raw dairy without the processing❤️

Several time I ordered oat milk. The packages arrived leaking. The shipping containers were undamaged. But the milk containers had been punctured. I quit the service when I opened a box that had actually been packed very well. Unfortunately, the inside of the box was coated in a gray-black mold. I reached in and grabbed a can of soup. My fingers went thru the can. All the cans had been punctured or were leaking. I had to throw the whole box away. That was the last straw. I quit their service and went back to buying locally. Thrive convenience is not worth the frustration of getting rotten or damaged products.

Leave the oats soaking on the counter for 24 hours.
      -After this period, pour the mixture into a collander and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
      -Add the oats and enough cold water to your blender or processor to bring the level to 72-ounces. This will result in 64-ounces of milk.
      -Pulse for a couple of minutes; then pour everything into a bowl with a fine cloth draped over the edges.
      -Have another bowl ready. Squeeze the oats captured in the cloth to get as much "milk" out of them as possible and put the remaining oats in the spare bowl.
      -Your oatmilk is now ready to use. Good in shakes and over cereal and in baking. I also use the fine oatmeal leftover as porridge and in other recipes like veggie burgers.
      It will keep for 5-6 days in the refrigerator
      Remember to shake before each use,

    Thank goodness ! For appx 10 years now i buy different brands of almond milk hoping to find the taste of almond milk. I am too lazy to boil almonds & add a little orange blossom water. It's light, it's frothy, it's extremely refreshing. Very yummy.
    Now i know why i was always so let down !!!
    Ok i will break my lazy ways and treat myself to goodness.

      The equation is simple: if you have to pack food, you’re not selling the food, you’re selling the package and the publicity that comes with it. This is applicable from something so simple as water (bottled water is basically the industry getting rich from something the nature produces every single second and much better and healthier) to something more elaborated as ‘milks’ or sauces.

    Hey Bobby, FYI, done recent research on almond milk. The article I found about the growth of the almond industry has caused the orchards in California to get much larger. Almond trees need large volumes of water and because of that they are actually threatening California's water supplies, so deeper wells have been dug to accommodate the excessive water needs. In doing so they have actually hit a level of arsenic. Recent testing of the almonds has showed elevated levels of arsenic.

    Bobby, thanks for making informative and enjoyable videos. Does the protein content of the milk matter? Almond Breeze and the Thrive Market (almond milk) had 1g whilst the other milks had 3g or 4 g. Also, recently what has been bothering me is the non-recyclable packaging of all the products I buy. I love the variety of products available but I’m trying to cut down due to most packaging ending up in a landfill. We need to be good to our bodies but also good to the earth. If a product is available in recyclable packaging (coconut sugar is my most recent purchase) or non-recyclable packaging, I buy the product with the recyclable container/ packet even if it costs more and I get less product.
    Lastly, I was watching a video by PBS about the our consumption of beef and how the pandemic has affected the beef supply chain. Since the pandemic has affected US beef production US companies have been looking to make up that shortfall. This is where Nicaragua has stepped. If foreign beef is sold to the USA, but has been processed in the USA it’s labeled as a product of the USA. The problem with Nicaragua beef is that beef exporters are stealing the land from indigenous people. The indigenous people are being intimidated and sometimes killed to make way for cattle ranches. The beef ends up in the USA, it’s processed here, and labeled as product of the USA.
    I’m sorry to preach but we need to make careful buying choices. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

    My toddler’s doctor and his dietician from the Children’s Hospital both recommended fortified pea milk as the closest to dairy instead of almond, hemp milk, oat or soy milk. Ripple milk is also available in most supermarkets around us in the unsweetened original form. Ripple has a similar protein and fat content compared to regular milk, and has more calcium. Most hemp milks on the market only 4-5 grams of protein, which is important if you live a plant based lifestyle.
    I am curious as to why it did not make your list?

It’s easier to purchase Hemp seeds add water and blend and you can add a tad of natural vanilla and for sweetener Agave Nectar and natural wild-crafted seamoss. Your baby will love it and get very strong bones because the Active mineral in Seamoss is Calcium. We are made of 102 minerals not “vitamins” or “protein”. That word protein is dangerous because whatever protein represents in our body Cannot be found in Natural God made foods and Unnatural man-made hybrid foods at the same time. That’s a contradiction most don’t realize.
