We make our own soy milk with a Soyquick machine I purchased at the Salvation Army. Soybeans can be purchased cheaply in the bulk goods section of Chamberlain's Natural Foods. I add two tablespoons of oatmeal to the beans to make the milk creamier. While the milk is still hot, I had 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. Splenda, and 1 tsp. vanilla. We bought glass pitchers to store the milk in and we go through about a gallon per week, so I run the machine through two cycles per week.
After making the milk, I am left with the bean pulp which is full of protein. Since it is the same consistency as cream of wheat, mash potatoes or refried beans, but has little flavor- I use it for those kinds of recipes. I add brown sugar and eat it as a hot cereal, garlic salt or gravy for potatoes, etc. It can also be used to thicken soups. If anyone has any other recipes or ideas for the pulp, I would like to hear them! I don't like to waste it because of its nutritional value.
