For nut milk I soak 100gram of nuts overnight (I especially love walnut) .. Strain the next morning and grind in a blender, then add 2 dates,1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (pureed vanilla beans), and 3 cups of water, then whiz for 2min and strain through muslin .. That makes a liter and takes only 5 minutes of my time :)

Homemade tofu is really hard, as I understand. I have found tofu in bulk in a couple of places where I live – a small Asian grocery and a non-chain natural foods store, so I can now bring my own container. You might check the same type options in Denver – gotta believe that progressive city’s got similar options if my little town does.

Hi Paul. Welcome to the challenge! One suggestion I have is maybe trying making milks that require less time? For example, some things like cashew milk or hemp milk don’t even have to be strained. You can drink them straight from the blender. (Although, I do think you need to at least soak the cashews first.)
