In this post I share a video of how to make soy milk at home with a soy milk maker. I show you how to make delicious soy milk at home without that beany flavor. And, I also show you a better way to strain homemade soy milk — no squeezing, no mess. I also share the cookbook tip that eliminates the beany flavor from your homemade soy milk recipe (hint: do NOT soak your beans).

How I Use the Novalife Nut Milk Maker
I make soy milk (see videos below), almond milk, oat milk, walnut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, flaxmilk, juices, and smoothies in this blender. It has basically replaced my Vitamix blender!
The best part is the Novalife is very inexpensive. It is about $80 regularly on Amazon, however I’ve purchased two at a discounted rate of about $50.
How it works:
High-speed blades break down ingredients into fine particles, often combined with heating and automatic filtering.
Key features:
- Multi-blade systems
- Fast processing
- Lower cost
Pros:
- Affordable
- Easy for beginners
- Quick results
Cons:
- Inconsistent texture
- Less durable
- Can produce foam or sediment
Best for:
Beginners or budget-focused users.

I use this device to quickly and easily strain my soy milk without any mess!
▸ Nut Milk Bag Alternative Strainer Device
EASIEST Way to Strain Nut Milks
I use this device to strain nut milk VERY easily (see videos below for a demonstration) >
I used the Novalife 8-in-1 nut milk maker machine to make fresh soy milk at home, then strained it four times using a nut milk bag alternative device that is SO much easier. At the end I compare my homemade soy milk to store-bought from Trader Joe’s — the difference is night and day.
Whether you’re looking for the best nut milk maker, a better soy milk recipe, or just want to learn how to make soy milk at home, this video walks you through the entire process step by step.
