Here's a recipe I came across in "Shopper's Guide to Natural Foods" for
making your own soymilk.
Bring water to boil. While waiting for the water to boil, drain the
soybeans and cover with hot water. Pre-heat a blender with hot tap water
(If the blender jar isn't heat resistant, use hot tap water instead of
boiling water for the next step). Just as the water comes to a boil, drain
the beans, empty the blender jar, and put the warm beans in the blender.
Pour enough of the boiling water over the beans so that the water is two
inches over the beans - more if you have room, as long as you leave at
least one inch at the top of the blender. Put the pot with the remaining
water back on the burner and reduce the heat to low. Blend the beans until
smooth. Heat the water in the pot until boiling. Pour the bean puree into
the boiling water, cleaning the sides of the blender jar with a spatula,
and return the heat to high.  When the foam begins to rise (be careful or
you'll have foam all over your stovetop!) lift the cooking pot from the
stove, reduce the heat to simmer, replace the pot, and simmer the puree for
five minutes (keeping an eye on that foam, of course!). During this time,
place a colander over the pressing pot and line it with a dishtowel or bag.
Then pour the hot puree into the cloth-lined colander. Carefully twist the
towel or bag closed, and press with a potato masher or the bottom of a
strong jar.  When  no more liquid comes out, open the cloth and stir the
okara (pulp) with a wooden spoon, fluffing it up. Sprinkle 1/2 cup water
over the okara, reclose the bag or cloth again, then press again to extract
the last of the milk.
Return the milk to the burner, bring back to a boil, then simmer for about
15 minutes. You can add whatever sweeteners or flavors you want at the end
of this simmering.
I don't know how low-fat this recipe is, but it does let you make fresh
soymilk, and it's considerably cheaper than buying it in aseptic packages
at a health food store.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
