So, I have been writing about how to make soy milk at home, using natural thing, but now I want to tell you about some soy milk machines that are going to make soy milk for you faster and easier than you were making it at home without it. 

   There are a couple of soy milk machines and the price varies around ~150$ so is not expensive at all if you want to do your own milk at home with no other complicated things. There are a few reviews on the web, I'll point some interesting links to you in order to make an idea of what is the perfect soy milk machine for you:

Soy milk is ussualy as healthy as cow milk, if you are curios if your kid will be healthy using soy milk instead of cow natural milk.

Let's talk a little about the differences between soy milk and cow milk:

• the main difference from this kind of milks if that the first one (soy milk) is created/manufactured from a plant/vegetable and the another type of milk (from cows and other animals like sheep, yes, there is sheep milk to) is manufactured from an animal.
• soy milk (as I've been telling you in the last paragraph) is not milk, is just a beverage form soybeans. Soybean is a plant, a species of legume from Asia that you may have heard about lately if you are here.
• as I have been telling lately, soy milk is not real milk, but what remains after the soybeans are soacked. Because of the soy milk does not have any lactose in it (despite cow milk) it's very useful for vegetarians that want to drink some milk. My grandmother is using some soy food in order to eat because she got some problems and mostly she is vegerarian.
• I've heared that nowdays the soy milk is mostly loaded with a load of sugar. Remember it if you have any problems like diabet or something like that.

How to make soy milk at home (guide):

• it's not hard to make soy milk at home. As I have been telling to you lately, soy milk is manufactured from a plant, so if you know to soak oranges to make orange juice, then you will be certainly able to make soak milk to in no time, for fun, at daily basics or for someone else. I have been doing soy milk for my grandmother because she could not get up from bed and one of the things she was eating/drinking was soy milk.
• yes, you got it. First you need soy beans in order to be soacked and do the milk. Got it?
• firstly (after having the soy beans) you need to clean them and then soak them in water (like you do with other food, not orange juice I think). You will need a couple of hours to for the water to grind the soy beans, so be patient, get yourself some sleep.
• after the soy beans are drained (~8 hours) you need to drain them using a colander per example.
• grind the soy milk using a blender, after the beans have been manufactured/transformed/soacked into liquid. Grind the rest of the soy beans liquid remained until there is nothing but a mixtured of soy beans liquid remained.

Soy milk benefits:

1. one of the best benefits of soy milk is that is a good alternative for people that have lactose intolerance and they could not drink natural cow's milk. Or, as I'll write below, if your kid is having some sort of lactose intolerance you can also make some ice cream with soy milk, if you really want to make him a surprise. There are 2 recipes pointed below, and more to come on the site pointed by me up there. I've tryed 2 of them myself, the another one is up to go. I've been making ice cream with soy for my grandmother.
2. there is another interesting point about soy milk (is not yet approved by the science society) that because of drinking soy milk (soy milk has vegetable proteine because it is made from a plant) you won't have diabetic problems and be dependent of insuline.
3. as I have been telling to you in the first place, soy milk is an alternative to natural cow's milk and you have to know that there are few people having allergies at soy milk than cow's milk, so this is a huge benefit if you still want to drink some milk.
4. also, soy milk contains no hormones, but the cow's milk contains hormones from the cow and also other hormones.
5. cooking with soy milk is an interesting thing for vegetarians who cannot drink cow's milk.

   As I have been telling to you lately there are several advantages and disadvantages about soy milk and cow's natural milk that you may know or not know about (read above in order to learn about it, how to make soy milk at home and much more). Let's say that your kid is having problems consuming lactose (when I do say lactose I am reffering at cow's natural milk because it contains lactose). So, let's say that you want to make some ice cream (and you need some kind of milk for that) and fruit (for example) and your kid is going to have some sort of problems because of the lactose from the ice cream. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about it because you can also make ice cream from soy milk and I am going to give you a few soy milk ice cream recipes in order to help you out:

1. ice cream desert with bananas and vanilla and of course soy milk.
2. ice cream with cranberries and soy milk.
