Soymil Blender Plus

When the world realized that soy was a healthy way to provide your body with protein, Japan looked over its bowl of rice topped with natto (fermented soy beans) and asked, "What took you so long?" (Soy being one of the staples of Japanese diet since the 8th century.) Soy milk took a little longer to catch on, though, and it was only after World War II that it became really popular. Still, 70 years is long enough to justify an appliance like the Soymil Blender Plus, which allows you to make your own fresh soy milk!

Essentially a 600 ml (20.3 fl oz) kettle, the Soymil Blender Plus also includes a powerful motor with a cross-shaped blade that turns your soybeans into powder, which in turn become soy milk with the water you have added. All you need to do is throw in the two ingredients and hit the "soy milk" button on the side! And if your kitchen is too small for an appliance that only does one thing, don't worry: it can also make soups and juices, boil water, and keep stuff warm, so you are actually getting five appliances in one!
