    I looked for this in a search, but came up blank.

    Does anyone know how to figure the nutrients in soymilk made with a soymilk maker?

    If it helps, the soy milk machine I want shows the strength of the soy milk is 4.6% dissolved solids and total quantity is 783 ml. The soy milk contains about 7% suspended matter, mainly fine okara. Total yield calculated from these figures is 53%. Oh and it uses 75 g dry soybeans and 1000 ml cold water to make.

    I did a search and came up with this from: bryannaclarkgrogan.com

    She figured the nutrient in her recipe for homemade soymilk. I have no idea how accurate it is, but it gives me something to go on. This is what she says.

    What is the nutritional information for homemade soymilk?

    I came to these numbers by subtracting the nutrients from 3/4 cup of okara (the amount of okara or soy pulp left after making 1 batch-- 6 cups-- of homemade soymilk) from the nutrients in 100 g of raw soybeans, which is how much you use in a batch. I added calories for 1 and 1/2 Tbs. of sugar and sodium for 3/8 tsp. of salt (raw soybeans contain virtually no sodium) for the whole batch. I used nutrient info from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

    1 cup of all-soy homemade soymilk made from my recipe

    71 calories; 5.6 g protein; 3.05 g total fat; 3.11 g total carbohydrate; 34 mg calcium; 2.41 mg iron; 42.6 mg magnesium; 130 mg sodium; .71 mg zinc; 1.36 mcg selenium; .143 mg thiamin; .142 mg riboflavin; .25 mg niacin; .045 mg vitamin B6; 62.45 mcg folate

    NOTE: If you add 3/4 Tbs. calcium carbonate powder to each batch of 6 cups, add 300 g of calcium per cup of soymilk to the nutrient count.

    I don't recall exactly how to do it, but I recall seeing a recipe for making soymilk from soy flour. It was a recipe that I saw on the package, maybe BOBS RED MILL? You could check there for the recipe, they sometimes have recipes online.

    Thanks Cranberrycat. I can make soymilk without a soymilk maker. I would just like the convenience of using one.

    In The cookbook 'Laurel's Kitchen" They give a breakdown of their recipe for homemade soymilk. The thing with that though, I know they didn't understand fiber like we do today. So it shows very little fiber. But that too would be good to use as a beginning. I'll look it up again and post it.

    Ok, here it is. If you would like the full recipe let me know and I will post it.

    1 cup dry soybeans makes 6 to 7 cups soymilk. I'm going to say 6 for figuring. I suppose if you got 7, you could boil it down to 6.

    Per cup
    Calories: 155
    Fat: 8.3
    Protein: 7.6
    Carbs: 17
    Fiber: 0

    The macronutrients were figured in the book by adding 2 tbsp oil and 4 tbsp honey to 6 to 7 cups of liquid.

    So removing the honey and oil would make it (based on 6 cups and the book):

    Oil
    calories: 119 x2 = 238
    fat: 14 x 2 = 28

    Honey
    calories: 64 x4 =256
    Carbs: 17 x 4 = 68

    Total per cup would then be:
    Calories: 82.3
    Fat: 4.6
    Protein: 7.6
    Carbs: 11.3
    Fiber: 0

    And even though I know that is helpful, at least to me, I wish I knew for sure...

    Oh and I forgot to add that the book says the milk contains 65% of the total solids of the beans, more than 80% of it's protein, and most of it's oil. So that too might be a way to figure the macronutrients...

    I looked on Westsoy Organic Plain Soymilk. It is made with whole soybeans and water... I think that is close as I am going to come to the actual nutrients and it is close enough!
