I don't know how much of the fat stays with the okara and how much gets released into the soymilk, but it couldn't have more fat than the soybeans themselves. Since 80-100 grams of dried soybeans (I'm using the measures my machine goes by to calculate) has about 16-20 grams of fat and makes about a quart and a half of soymilk, I would assume that a cup of homemade soymilk has, at most, 3.33 g of fat, possibly fewer. Hope this is at all helpful. Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't figured out what to do with the pulp yet, they do have a biscuit recipe in book but haven't tried it yet...

I love to make " crab " cakes out of it. That recipe and several others I've made are on my site: www.fatfreevegan.com --just put " okara " in the search box. Also, I just found a blog devoted entirely to okara! It's http://okaramountain.blogspot.com/ --not a vegan blog, but vegetarian. Lots of interesting (but decadent) looking recipes there!
