Easy enough to make almond, etc in the vitamix. I just find it goes bad really fast so if I'm going to use it in 24 hours I'll make a batch in proportion to how much I will be able to use.

Great idea. I should get a Vitamix.

Almond milk is such a superfood, so rich in nutrients and protein.

Good to know. I need to get something. My Cuisinart blender that I loved needs a new container. The motor is fine, the blade unit stopped working. Cant fix it.
Its a great blender too. Takes down ice into a fine grind pretty fast. I use a blender a lot for soups and sauces. In the hot weather I like to mix ice, a little juice, fresh fruit and water to make a hydrating drink and stay away from soda.
Although this summer I drank a lot of gatorade G2 just to stay alive. lol
