Why buy almond milk when you can make it yourself? Wait, we know what you’re going to say. “It takes too long!” you protest, “It’s too hard!” Complain no longer. There is a new system on the market that wants to address all your nut milk (and nut butter) making worries. It’s called NutraMilk and it promises to help you make these delicious, health-conscious products in 12 minutes or less.

Thanks to NutraMilk’s “patented, revolutionary method” of extracting milk (or rather, making milk) from just about any kind of nut, you can treat yourself to almond, cashew, pecan, or other delicious beverages in a matter of minutes rather than hours (or even days). The NutraMilk is patented, BPA free, and UL certified, and takes just 12 minutes to make up to 12 liters of nut milk.

So how does it work? NutraMilk promises that only three steps stand between you and a healthful treat. First, add nuts to the system, set the timer, and press the “butter” button if you’re looking to make nut butter. Then, add water and press the “mix” button. From there, you simply need to dispense the finished product.

Cleanup also promises to be a breeze as each of the NutraMilk components is dishwasher-safe and can be easily disassembled. But don’t worry — just because it’s easy to use doesn’t mean it can’t hold up to consistent usage. Rather, NutraMilk says that it is built to commercial standards and can withstand “heavy daily use.”

“Whether you’re in the mood to sip on coffee with hazelnut milk or munch on some toast with a warm almond butter spread, this innovative machine can make it all,” the NutraMilk system claims on its Kickstarter page. You can get creative, too: Should you choose to venture away from nuts, you can add sesame seeds or rice and see what comes of that process.

You can pre-order the NutraMilk from Kickstarter for the early-bird price of $210, with an estimated delivery date of October.

Flash deal gets you an Amazon Echo Pop for $20 — that’s 50% off

If you've always wanted easy access to Amazon's Alexa across your home but you're not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on Amazon Echo deals to equip several rooms with a smart speaker, then don't miss this chance to get the Amazon Echo Pop for only $20. A limited-time deal from Amazon has slashed the device's price with a $20 discount on its original price of $40, so you'll be able to afford to buy multiple. You're going to have to hurry though, as it may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Pop
The Amazon Echo Pop isn't going to challenge the performance of the Amazon Echo Studio nor match the 360-degree sound of the Amazon Echo Dot, but it's a great way to access Alexa without spending a lot of money, according to our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy. It's very compact so you'll be able to easily find a spot for it within any room, and while its front-facing design is a bit limiting, it's a minor trade-off especially if you're planning to place it in a small area.

Fitness deals: treadmills, ellipticals, weights on sale

nordictrack x32i treadmill review press lifestyle

Going on a fitness journey can be very tough, especially if you don't have a lot of motivation, which is why having home fitness equipment is important, especially if you don't want to drag yourself to a gym regularly. While that sort of equipment tends to be expensive, there are luckily quite a few home gym deals that you can take advantage of, whether it's things like dumbells or water bottles, which is why we've gone out and found our favorite deals and listed them below. You can also check out some other great brand-specific deals, such as these NordicTrack deals and Bowflex deals.
Adjustable Dumbbell 55-pound 5-In-1 Single — $156, was $190

One of the worst things about dumbbell training is having too many dumbbells. They can take over your whole gym. This deal (on a SINGLE dumbbell, so buy two!) can take the place of five dumbbells in your complete gym kit. Instead of one 55-pound dumbbell, you're getting an 11-pound dumbbell, a 22-pound dumbbell, and so on up until the 55 pounder. This is advantageous if you're just starting out with working out and don't know what weight you need to start with or if you want to do different exercises with different weights. Finally, note that the design of the adjustable dumbbell is quite safe as you can only adjust the weights (via a simple handle turning mechanism) while they are laid carefully on tray. Once they're off, the weight is "locked in" so to speak until you return them to the try. No lost toenails here!
