Ecosak Nylon Nut Bag Review

I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature.

Well, can you believe that I am trying out a nut bag to make my own almond milk? (I'll pause a moment so that you can let the shock wear off!) I can honestly say that never in my life did I intend on making my own almond milk. But as you know, we are making some changes to our diet.

So I decided I would give it a try.  And with the Ecosak I also received some recipes which really helped since I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do.



I asked Lil Man if he wanted to help me, and he was more than thrilled. Apparently making almond milk was an exciting and fun thing for him.


First things first was to wash the Ecosak (easy to do) and soak the nuts. Yep, I put some raw almonds in a bowl, covered them with water and let them soak 6-8 hours or so. After they had been soaked, I simply drained the almonds, added them to the blender, added about 2 cups of water, a half teaspoon of vanilla, and Lil Man pulverized the almond mixture in the blender. 

Then we poured that mixture through the Ecosak. I assumed it would be really really messy. But I was wrong. It was super easy to use. Lil Man helped me press the liquid out of our nut mixture. It wasn't hard to do at all.





I also thought the clean up would be difficult. I mean we just squeezed milk out of a nut bag. But honestly, I turned the bag wrong side out and and rinsed it out (added a little detergent), but yeah pretty much use, rinse and hang it up to dry.

I had just assumed that making my own nut milk would be time consuming, messy, and require lots of clean up. But the Ecosak was super easy to use. The entire process took minutes.

As for the result? Well, Lil Man wasn't impressed with the taste. Hubby wasn't either. So I might have to tweak the recipe (the possibilities are endless - and several different types of nuts can be used to make various nut milks). I personally thought the taste was decent. I've never had nut milk - so this was my first experience.

Today was the true test for me. I had cheerios with almond milk instead of my cows milk. And well, I thought it was pretty good.

Will I make almond milk again? I sure will. I like how I am making something that isn't processed. I'm using all natural ingredients. And the Ecosak made the entire process very easy.

If you make your own nut milk, I encourage you to give Ecosak a try. And if you are newbie like me, I also encourage you to try it. It really was super easy. And I have to admit, like Lil Man, it was fun to do.


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

  3. It's nice that the ecosak made thinks a lot easier. It's better to do it yourself so you can control the ingredients.

  7. Nut bag? *giggle* *snort* All joking aside, this is actually pretty nifty and I honestly didn't know how you could make your own almond milk until now.

  9. Almond milk has a lot of health benefits and it's great that you are using all natural ingredients to make it. Some prepackaged ones in the parket contain lots of sugar that it becomes bad for those who have diabetes. Ecosak though is not available in our local market.

  12. I am going to find this bag. I bet it makes great cashew milk. I don't like almonds. I'll try coconut as well. Thanks for the tip.

  16. This is absolutely amazing! I actually make my own almond milk at home using almond flour, but using whole almonds would be so much cheaper!! Those little bags of flour are so expensive!

  17. Love it! There is nothing like homemade almond milk. The kids love it!

  18. I didn't realize easy it is to make a milk alternative! I'll definitely have to try this, because I love almond and cashew milk.

  19. This just blows my mind! I was ready to read about a really lengthy process, but it's so simple my hubs could do it! Not that he would, but you get the point. LOL

  21. I look making homemade almond milk! Looks like you all did a great job!

  22. I remember the first time I made my own almond milk. I made a mess but it was worth it. try sweetening your milk with some dates. I found that a dab of vanilla and some dates make the perfect almond milk. Or add some carob powder for a nice chocolaty drink for the kids.

  23. Why is it called almond MILK? Isn't milk an organic byproduct from a female mammal?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm glad to hear you tried it and liked it. I'm sure this would be a very healthy alternative, I would love to make our own milk.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow that's a pretty neat bag and great that it's healthy!

  26. That's a pretty cool sack! I've not seen anything like that before.

  27. Thats a great looking product. I have a friend that is very into making her own stuff, I am going to have to find this bag and purchase it for her.

  28. Hmm I've never thought about doing this before! I may have to try it out!

Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker Review and Giveaway

I love music and streaming music through various apps on my iPhone. But with the case that I have on my phone, it sort of blocks the speakers a little. I can hear, but it can be a little muffled. So when I heard about the  Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker  I jumped at the chance to try it. I was a little nervous since there really wasn't a lot of instructions on setup. I mean it had the usual pictures of this button does this etc, but there really wasn't a lot of documentation with it. So I was a little apprehensive at first.  But it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't need a lot of instruction. It was pretty much straight forward. Charge it. After it was charged, turn it on. I went into my connections on my iPhone. It immediately found it, paired, and I was good to go.  I did get a little confused on which button was volume up (and down). But after a little trial and error with that, I've had absolutely zero iss

What Summer Taught Me

This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

Rejection

You'd think as many times as I've been rejected in my life that rejection wouldn't hurt anymore. Really, I can't count the number of times that I've been rejected, or slighted, or been on the receiving end of cruel words. I'm almost 40 for pete's sake. Rejection shouldn't bring tears anymore, but it still does. It just seems like I've been faced with it a lot lately. It started with the Running and has seemed to carry over into other parts of my life. I have spent most of my life on the sidelines watching other people. That's what happened with the marathon.   Once again, I'm on the side as others do things that I want to do. I trained. I had to have an unexpected surgery. I got injured. I couldn't run. It happens. It isn't the end of  the world. But what many don't realize is that there are numerous times in my life that I am on the sidelines, watching, wishing I was the one 'out there' - not the one watching. . But
