My fave is vanilla almond mylk. I had a Soyabella but found it to be a pain to clean. I love my Vitamix as I use it continually for many things. I don’t want to buy anything in single use plastic. Ding! Vitamix the winner at our house!!!❣️❣️❣️
Most of the time now, I use a vitamix and strain it with a mesh strainer. When I had my juice and smoothie bar, I blended it in a vitamix and then ran it through a green star juicer.
You and your wife would be great on America's Test Kitchen! Thank you so much for your comprehensive reviews on the soyabella vs. miomat vs. Vitamix!! I got the soyabella
Thanks for the video. Just came across it. Since I discovered store bought almond milk only contains 2 percent almond, I switched to making my own almond milk. I use Nutribullet and it tastes so much better.
Tip! I use a vitmix to make my nut milks! 🤪 But the tip is this, Bless your heart! Instead of a bowl to strain your nut milk into, i use a HUGE Meauring Cup! It comes with a Red Lid! I put the nut bag over the top of the measuring cup, then when I am done squeezing all the milk out, I can just use the Pour Spout to pour milk into a jar, put a lid on it and off to the refrigerator it goes! So far I have found the huge measuring cup at Target and Albertsons! BTW, Thank You, love your video! 😊 🙏
@@KennyandJoann You are most welcomed!! Thank you! I cannot wait to watch more videos! I forgot to say what my favorite milks to make! Almond and Postashio Milk! Amond milk I use any berry with it! But Pastashio, my favorite is Raspberries! God Bless!
Thank you, this really helped me. I was trying to decide which nut milk machine to buy, and after watching your video, I've decided... not to buy one, LOL. I'll keep buying the Simply brand, which is my favorite. (I thought it would be cheaper to make my own, but apparently not. The greatly increased calorie count of the homemade almond milk also helped me decide.)
Thank you so much! Yes, the Soyabella can make soup. We will have a video out soon, comparing it to the MioMat. Soup will be one of the competition categories. We appreciate you watching!
Calafia is the worst bevause of additional stuff thats in it with almonds therefore being 2,3% ( Calcium Carbonate, Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Sea Salt, Acidity Regulator (Potassium Citrate), Flavourings, Stabilisers (Locust Bean Gum, Gellan Gum). So,-Soaybella and Vitamix-those two are natural that contain only almonds and water are the best
The only store bought brand we have found that is just nuts, water and salt (one had maple syrup) was Malk. Unfortunately, they completely changed their ingredients recently so we don’t buy it anymore. They are still better than most in a pinch. They have almond, cashew and pecan, I think.
Hi, Thanks for this video demonstration! I have the soyabella and like it but always end up needing to strain the milk anyway because it turns out too grainy. That was such a disappointment to find out after buying it. Any suggestions or am I doing something wrong to keep it from being smooth? Thanks!
If you remove the outer brown layer prior to using the Soybella and pulse 10x you will end up with the remaining nuts a creamy, ricotta like mixture, that is excellent in Italian dishes. To remove the outer brown layer simply give them a light squeeze after soaking and it pops right off.
Yup. We even have a video on soaking almonds to pop them out of the brown skin. The ricotta sounds great! Thanks for the tip, Sara! We appreciate you watching!
I really love your detailed comparison of the 3 milks. What process did you use as for soaking the nuts as this will be my first time using my Soyabella? Thank you
Thank you so much! Almonds need to be soaked 8-12 hours to release the enzyme inhibitors. Rinse them well before using the Soyabella. Most other nuts need to be soaked 8 hours. Hope that helps! We appreciate you watching!
I use the Soyabella and add the pulp to my steel cut oats for breakfast I do find the maker a bit primitive & not user friendly The buttons on mine read raw & another hot but I'm not sure what the black button is for...I've watched several videos, even looked up model online, reviewed directions...any info on model # SB-130? All in all I appreciate this machine just want to better understand it
It seems the black button is just for power. We have an earlier model with "Milk," "Mill," and "Paste/Off" buttons. You've already done a bunch of research, so you may already have seen this link. It seemed pretty helpful. Thanks so much for watching, Ruth! tribest.com/products/soyabella-sb-130-b
It may be harder to digest because the enzyme inhibitors will still be mixed in with the milk. Soaking also makes it easier on the device. Don’t feel bad, though. Just soak them from now on. No big deal. Thanks for watching, Sam!
@@LinMar65 Some nuts only need a few hours. Usually, 8 hours is enough for most. The harder the nut, the longer the soak time. Here’s a chart: www.nuthut.ca/blogs/sprouting-information/soaking-times-for-nut-and-seeds-for-sprouting-or-activating-them
Green Smoothie Girl has the truly raw almonds as a group buy every Fall. They arrive in the Winter. The nut-milk bag is on Amazon. I believe the description has the links. Thanks so much for watching!
@@KennyandJoann ok Thank you. Would be interesting to watch your take. I just bought an A3500 and wondering if I should just stick with that or for nut milks get a specific device for that.
Vitamix plus a nutmilk bag or the “Vegan Milker” is far superior to the Almond Cow (got one and promply returned it after having so much grit left in the milk and still had to strain it). Extremely disappointed in the AC.
There are lots of good nut milk bags out there. Just look for one that is organic and unbleached. Most are cotton cheesecloth. We hope that helps, Raya! Thanks for watching!
This is an old video, but anyone out there tried the Tribest at home? I’ve read that the Tribest and other similar stop working after awhile, or the blades become disengaged etc. I’m done with squeezing nut milk bags. Ugh. Such a mess. I’ve been buying simply almond, but it tastes pretty bland and it’s pricey.
Uh, that's exactly what we teach, so we do know that ... very well. Not sure what your point is, since the two fresh methods did not boil the almonds. They were truly raw almonds that were soaked to activate the enzymes. The Vitamix and Soyabella kept them raw. We weren't advocating store-bought milk. It was just for comparison.
@@KennyandJoann the secret to good oat milk is to not squeeze your nut bag too much or it will make your milk slimy.... That sounded a little bit wrong 😂 but it is accurate
We also have a MioMat video: ua-cam.com/video/qeB5UIobOos/v-deo.html. If you prefer not to use a nut-milk bag, the Soyabella may be your choice. You may want to filter it one more time through a fine strainer, though. They’re all good choices.

I like them all, but I think almond is my favorite!
Indeed! We love it, too!
Mac nut milk,hemp or coconut
Yum, Stacy!
I think I prefer the Vitamix. I like to actually see what's happening.
Thank you for this video! I am debating on getting a soyabella, and I think I am sold on the nutrients you get from home made plant milk.
Thanks, Carolina! You are so right! It’s extremely healthy!

You go, girl! We use our Vitamix several times a day. Love it!
The best thorough review I’ve come across. Thank you for helping me make a final decision on purchasing the Soyabella.
Thanks so much! So glad we could help! We appreciate you watching!
Are you happy with soyabella?
Yes! Soyabella is good. We compared it to the MioMat in this video: ua-cam.com/video/qeB5UIobOos/v-deo.html
Most of the time now, I use a vitamix and strain it with a mesh strainer. When I had my juice and smoothie bar, I blended it in a vitamix and then ran it through a green star juicer.
Very cool, Matthew! Whatever works best. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing. I especially loved the micronutrients stats toward the end.
Thanks so much, Ariyah! Most people would find that part boring, but I’m a stats nerd. So glad you liked it!
This was a great comparison, and so thorough! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

@@elizabethdixon9884 Yum! Sounds great!
Good video, thanks! One factor you forgot to add though... even though I sure love Calafia's milk, you left the plastic waste that comes with it.
Even though it’s container is recyclable, you make a good point. That is definitely still a factor. Thanks for the input! We appreciate you watching!
Once I used a ninja mix to make almond milk and I added. A dash of cvs White Sea salt and 1tbsp of a aguava syrup
That's cool! We'll have to try that. Thanks for the info and for watching!
Yea and it tastes just like store bought the blue diamond brand I was satisfied and my cereal tasted good!! So I’m hooked!!
Agave is bad for you
Very nice method of making almond milk. Thank you very much for sharing. And the comparison is also very useful to know. Regards from Canada.

Do I need to soak all the different nuts in water overnight. (My almonds are not raw )

@@KennyandJoann ok Thank you. Would be interesting to watch your take. I just bought an A3500 and wondering if I should just stick with that or for nut milks get a specific device for that.
The Vitamix is an awesome appliance! I’d buy a nut-milk bag and go with that, personally, since you already have it.
@@KennyandJoann Thank you for the input!
Vitamix plus a nutmilk bag or the “Vegan Milker” is far superior to the Almond Cow (got one and promply returned it after having so much grit left in the milk and still had to strain it). Extremely disappointed in the AC.
what is the name of the strainer bag?
There are lots of good nut milk bags out there. Just look for one that is organic and unbleached. Most are cotton cheesecloth. We hope that helps, Raya! Thanks for watching!
Can you make pea milk?Can it make Mac nut milk? It’s low in omega 6 which

Almost ALL OF THE STORE BOUGHT have that horrible slimy gum thing. I despise them!. Home made much, much superior in mouthfeel and taste.

Almonds are all pasteurized so saying it’s raw is inaccurate. 😊
Nope. Watch the first part again. I got some that were not pasteurized. They’re hard to find, but they exist. Thanks for watching!
