I have a Vitamix and need to strain out the pulp for juices. Would this be a good use for this Milk bag?

That would be a perfect use for this bag. So far making juices has been the number one thing I have used this bag for. Hope this helps.

That is exactly what I use my bag for. I replaced my leaky juicer with a vitamix and milk bag and think it works better. My milk bag is turning green from juice stains, but it works great.

Probably. The weave is fine enough to keep pulp in and allow the juice through. It seems big enough to hold a lot of pulp while leaving openings for the juice to flow out. I'd recommend you get it and see; it's inexpensive enough that your risk is pretty low.

I think it would be quite good to strain almonds for almond milk. Less messy than the bag, too.

The thing about this nut milk bag is that it has a draw string which keeps the blended almond/water in the bag as you squeeze out the milk. You really need to be able to tightly wring out the milk and I don't think a coffee filter will hold up (most likely will tear and become a mess.) Trust me, I tried other methods and the small price for his bag was well worth it in my opinion. Very little mess, easy to use, holds up really well and easy to clean afterwards.

I would not -- juice pulp would clog. Cannot use champagne because bubbles/air/carbonation interrupt the flow. Only water would be my suggestion.

Hi Lisa: We also had an old one that leaked like a sieve, but it was probably 50 years old, so that's what prompted me to buy a different one. This one, I do keep a little bowl on the floor in case it drips.........I have found it'll drip a small amount if I'm making 'V5', and my carrots aren't mushy enough. The strainer probably isn't made for that, but that food mill will go through anything. So, in answer to your question, I would say 'yes', but only a matter of a few drops........NOTHING like my previous mill, where most of the juice was on the floor. Hope this helps!

Haven't used these for pulp specifically but have found they hold up WAY better than bio bags even with fairly soggy compost. We usually empty our little bin a couple times per week and I have had only a couple leaks ever (compared to constant rips when we used bio bags).

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

I believe so. The process is similar to ricotta, correct? It strains the whey very well. I used it for yogurt and ricotta. If you just need straining ( but not pressing) it works great.

I used it for canned coconut milk-I believe that as long as the "milk" is very cold, it will work.

Absolutely not. Just because a blender has a hole for adding ingredients through the lid does not mean its cut to the exact specifications as the Vitamix container this tamper was designed for. Even between my containers the hole is a different size to prevent inserting the wrong tamper into the container. If your blender didn't come with a tamper, best to push ingredients down the old fashioned way . . .remove the lid and push down with a rubber spatula.

I think it would work. I use it to strain curds and whey that I make. I prefer to double it over so it's 2 layers and then I put it in my mesh strainer and it works great. It's very durable. I hand wash and air dry it and then fold it up and store in a plastic bag in between uses. It's very large so you will cut a piece to fit your strainer.

I'd give it a C. The pulp still has a lot of juice in it and when I'm juicing beets, sometimes a small mist comes out even though it is locked tight. My previous one was a slow juicer and the pulp was really dry. I wouldn't recommend it.

I have not tried, but holes are small, so I would say that it should not be an issue. I strain juice from my juicer(omega vrt400) to strain out some excess pulp.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I used it for my juice pulp. I believe due to the juicing process, which breaks down the food quicker, lead to an overpowering smell that this could not keep in. I would need to do it at least everyday if not more.

Not really because there is a strainer that cannot be removed which filters most of the pulp out. However, if you like the pulp, you could just dump it back into your juice from the strainer since the strainer will hold most of it.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.
