- In this video I unbox, review, and share some recipes for the Almond Cow. This is a great product if you are looking into making your own plant-based milk at home and begin a more sustainable living.
Current favorite Almond + Oats recipe:
Fill tank to the max line with water. Add almonds to the blending cup to below the 1 line then fill up the rest with oats. Add a pinch of salt and a 1/2 or 1 tablespoon of date syrup. Blend twice and it’s ready!

The problem with the Almond Cow is this: The machine allows no flexibility because it works on a fixed water to almond ratio. The 5 cup water amount at the minimum fill line and the 1 cup almond cup creates a watery mix. It’s like weak coffee, it tastes horrible. Even if you run the cycle twice it doesn’t help. The only thing that helps is making a batch of “cream” which is just one more cup of almonds mixed in the plastic cup and adding that to your original batch. And you still need to use a nut bag to get the extra milk! That’s too too much work, defeating the purpose of buying an extra machine. In the blender you can put 2 cups of almonds and 7 cups of water and you get a perfect 1/2 gallon of almond milk. The design ratio of the Almond Cow is off.
Thank you for sharing this information.
@@Juzslim23 You're welcome! Super bummed we're past our 30 day return date
Thank you very much for the info. I have a large Bullet emulsifier. Thanks for the tip. I was just about to purchase the cow.
Part of my brain wants to buy a new gadget but the other part knows this person has posted truth. Sigh. Thank you for saving me money.😅
Thank you for this! Was just about to buy. ♥️🙏
Thank you for not wasting time on no sense and giving the exact information that we look for. 💚
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Great review. Straight to the point, no fillers & covered all the essentials. I just bought my mom one ❤️
Thank you so much! We love ours - hope your mom does too :)
@@Andrew-rk3dn lol, wrong. I just liked the way the video was presented
Had to subscribe, love the way you show & explain things in such a simple way ! These are the kinds of reviews I love to see
Agreed! Thanks for not wasting time on nonsense and going straight to the point! Much appreciated!!
Great review! Thanks so much!
Its so hard to find great reviews online and yours was amazing. Thanks for getting to the point, being genuine and properly reviewing a product.
Hi Gustavo! Thank you so much for the kind comment. I really appreciate it and I’m glad you found the video helpful!
Great review. Thank you. I use a blender and nut milk bag. Your the 1 at one that suggested to blend twice, so much is left behind if only blending once. I also use warm weather instead of cold because it helps the fats/oils in the nuts extract easier
you could just blend the pulp up in the blender and add it to your milk recipe after you’re done, you could add a few more ingredients in the blender with the pulp to add more flavor and it definitely will make the milk creamier ❤
Such an in-depth,beautifully presented and organized review video, thank you so much for sharing your content~
Thanks for the kind comment! So glad my video was helpful. :)
I just got mine yesterday. Made some cashew milk. I have a fancy blender and did the nutmilk bag thing for years. This is soooo much better for busy people. Its also cleaner.
So glad you like it! We still use and love ours too :) best milk we’ve ever had and we know exactly what’s in it.
Such a perfectly spoken review and the pros definitely outweigh the cons 🎉 I’m so excited to make the chocolate milk ! 😊
I wonder if you could make eggnog or something very similar to it in the AC 🤫
dude!!!! this is amazing!!!!!! I want this almond cow maker!!!!
Thank you!! You should definitely look into getting one. We love ours! Thanks for watching :)
Just got mine- love it!!
I got mine a couple weeks ago, I love that it’s no waste and so easy to clean afterwards 🎉 I put the pulp in my protein shakes ❤
Sweet little angel at the end - that's the real deal.. if that little angel loves it.. then it MUST taste great.. thanks for your honest review!
Thank you so much, Carla! He’s definitely a little angel :). Glad you enjoyed our video - we absolutely love our almond cow.
nicely done video..i have same cons in mind..also it just doesn't break stuff all the way down
Thank you very much for this great review. Straight to the point and simple. So far, this is the only video that explains that this machine starts 3 different circles before it is completely done.
I was about to return mine cause I thought it was broken. 😂.
Thank you! 😊
You are welcome - thanks for watching!
i loved the video thank u soo much for this review
Hi Hasnaa! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for such a nice review! I wanted to make sure how loud it gose. I'll go buy Almond cow! Sending love from Japan:)
So glad the video was helpful! We definitely love our Almond Cow. Enjoy yours!
Now this is a review video. Respectful of the time we have and what we need to know. Thank you
Thank you! Glad we were able to help.
Love those Ikea bottles...great way to store it!
I use the very large canning jars , they store foods and beverages nicely 😊
I just won a unit and am watching vids before I receive it. I am so excited to get it and don’t know what to make first? Lol. So very excited.
Oh wow, congrats! What an awesome prize to get. We have nothing but great things to say about it and we’ve had it for a while. We mostly make our daily non-dairy milk with it. Maybe start there so you can get used to how it works. It took us a few tries before we nailed a recipe that we love. Enjoy!
Great work!
Thank you!!
Great video! Just wanted, obviously this stays best when consumed within a week, but my question is for the store bought shelved and sealed almond milks. On the containers, most say they are good until a year(Until they are opened) Is this because They are air sealed? Or is it because they add thickening agents to them? I don't think thickening agents act as preservatives which extend the shelf life. So, that is why I was asking. Thanks
Do you know if it will grind small seeds like finger millet or sesame seeds and hemp seeds along with almond ?
Would love to see a follow up video to see how it’s working today.
Or perhaps in a year
Thank you so much for this! It helped a lot. May I know how many mL of milk is made when you use the minimum line? Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful! Sorry, I don't know the mL amount but I'm sure you can shoot them an email and they'll let you know
excelente herramienta, tu sabes donde la puedo conseguir aqui en Colombia? gracias
Se puede pedirla en línea! Hasta el fin del día de hoy tienen una descuenta, se puede comprar de cualquier país!
I wonder if it would be good for horchata? I need to get this!
Hi Jacob! I just looked on their website and they do have a recipe for horchata! I’ve never tried it though so I’m not sure how it tastes but it looks delicious. Here’s the link: almondcow.co/blogs/beverages/horchata
Where can I get one to buy
How much milk you can get from 1tz of almonds?
You should try coconuts
That sounds delicious!
So it can have some grain left over? I really hate that..my nut bag get rids of the grain. But I want a faster option. So in your opinion is the almond cow still worth it?
Hello! Yes, I think the almond cow is 100% worth it for our family. We’ve used it for a few months now and we haven’t bought milk at the store since then. Milk is done so quick and it is always delicious. But unfortunately, it does have some tiny grains/sediment left when you make it. We’ve gotten used to it though and I believe there are ways to avoid it by soaking your nuts first. Hope that helps!
@@MindfulHome ok. I always soak my nuts anyways..ok thank you
@@wlacroix10 let me know if you end up getting it. Curious to see what your experience is like!
@@MindfulHome ok..I just ordered today..so I will.🙂
@@MindfulHome So I just tried it today and is was a hit!!!! no grains or anything. I did run it twice and soaked the nuts overnight. but yeah I love it so far. Thanks for the review.
Homemade fresh almond (or oat) milk is only good for 3-5 days?
Hi Tiffany! Yes, 3-5 days of storing is what Almond Cow recommends. I’ve done up to a week and it was fine, but it’s definitely better and more fresh the first few days. Thanks for watching!
@@MindfulHome it is literally almond flavored water, since when does water go bad?
Hi, it doesn’t heat anything right? It stays raw?
yeah it doesn’t heat anything i think
Hi Philipp! that's correct - it does not heat anything. If you want a machine that does, check out my review video for the MioMat milk maker.
Just a thought, could you just then just get the recipes, use a blender (aka saving $250), and then filter it out into a bottle? All the machine looks to be is a blender with a filter.
Hey Connor! You can definitely do that and it would work just as good. Similar to how you can toast bread in your oven and also in your toaster. Different appliance, just one is more focused on a specific task so it's quicker and more convenient. Hope that helps!

Hi Roberto! So sorry to hear that. Were you able to purchase one?
I have to buy my almond cow😭I need it.
Why not just blend and strain in a nut bag? Does it taste different or just easier?
Hi Heather! You can definitely just do that and not purchase the almond milk. Our blender is not fancy enough to crush the almonds all the way like the almond milk, though. And it does save you the straining process as well but if you already do that then just save the money :)
Was this sponsored?
Hi Kelsey! No, this is not a sponsored video. I payed full price for the machine and it is my 100% honest review. Hope it was helpful - Thanks for watching!
I thought not making noise is a pro!
Oooooh - I love, love , love chocolate ANYTHING, but my body said nope. No more caffeine for you, and if you eat it or drink I'm not going to let you sleep. Waaaaah!!! 😞
Although, nifty little machine. Might look into it. Thanks!
So Almond Cows are real after all 😭
Boy ain’t no way ain’t no way 💀
Exactly I’m surprised 😂so after all he was right
Date strip?? Back to processed!! 😏
You can definitely use fresh dates. We all do what we can :)
No way almond cows are actually real 💀💀💀💀
💀💀💀💀
Right cause tf😂😂😂
It’s basically just a glorified milkshake maker. If you don’t believe me, compare the blades.
I can see how they have similar blades but the Almond Cow does very specific work. I feel like a lot of appliances have many similarities if you really look at it that way, though.
