Posted on | August 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Making soymilk at home is no major hassle these days. There are machines that simplify the process such as the Soyabella Soymilk Maker. So, let’s look at the top reasons why you may want to switch from store-bought to homemade.

1. Full control of additives

Commercial soymilk goes through many processes with a long list of additives. At home you have full control of the ingredients going into the milk.

2. Homemade Costs Less

Soy milk in the grocery store isn’t cheap. You can save a bundle over time by making your own. The quart you make will cost less than a third of the one you bring home from the store.

3. Save the Environment

Think about all of those containers that are going into the trash or recycle bins. The only by-product you’ll have is the soybean pulp and that can be used for other purposes such healthy burgers or added to compost for your garden.

Homemade soymilk has a little more of a beany taste, but with spices and flavors you can create a drink that you will absolutely love.

There is a satisfaction in making soymilk at home that store-bought can never give. If you have children, make this a family affair and have a fun time creating different flavors.
