Juicers Are Great for Juicing, But Not for Nut Milk – Here's Why

John begins by comparing the nutritional content of whole nuts to their milk counterparts, showing that nut milk made in a juicer has significantly fewer proteins, lipids, and fiber compared to whole nuts. He emphasizes that using a juicer results in the waste of valuable nutrients left in the pulp, which is particularly concerning given the high cost of nuts. John points out that while juicing might be a popular method shared by many influencers, it is far from the most efficient or nutritious way to make nut milk.

To offer a superior alternative, John introduces the concept of vacuum blending. He explains that vacuum blenders remove excess oxygen before blending, which preserves the nutrients in the nuts and prevents oxidation. This method not only retains more nutrients but also produces a creamier, more full-bodied nut milk. John demonstrates the process using the Vitamix blender with the void system vacuum upgrade kit, comparing it to the Nama J2 juicer. The results clearly show that vacuum blending yields a richer and more nutritious nut milk with significantly less waste.

Throughout the episode, John provides practical tips and recommendations, such as sourcing truly raw cashews and using vacuum lids for storing nut milk. He underscores the importance of using whole food methods to maximize nutrition and ease of preparation. By the end of the episode, viewers will have a clear understanding of why vacuum blending is the superior method for making nut milk and how they can implement this technique to enhance their own plant-based milk preparations.

John, you helped a lot more people with your educational videos and items you highlight on your channel. I have a question for your recommendation for usage of emulsionizer as an alternative in making of nutmilk, what is your take?

[cinkoxid]

thank you, vacuum blenders are almost always superior but juicing in a slow juicer has a calming effect while doing it 😅

[Ruicsandra]

Where did you get those nice containers to be vacuumed before storage into the fridge, pls?

[livebetter]

#ThankYou This was a great video I came in on the tail end of it so I'm going to start it over to see the beginning I have the Vitamix E310 did you say that I would be able to purchase that adapter component with the E series🤔.

Also how about making fresh coconut 🥥 milk🤔

[xthinguyen]

Can one vacuum blend the nuts then strain through the nama2? I find that straining is not as good as nut milk. What are your thoughts?

[antoinettegould]

Would it work with other nuts? Almond, pecan ❤ using the Void system
