Pulp is fiber. If you want the milk try almond or sunflower, lower in fat.
I would reduce the nuts by half. I use only 1/2 c nuts per 4 cups of water. I got the idea from a recipe called Economy Nut Milk which uses only 1/3 c almonds per 4 coups of water. However, I do think some of the calories and fat are retained in the fiber but I can't prove it!
On calorieking.com, I believe Brazil nuts are listed as having 186 calories per ounce. It's not much higher than almonds, which have about 164 calories per ounce. Macadamias are the most caloric of all nuts (205 calories per ounce). The pulp is mostly fat, so after straining the mylk, it should be fairly low in fat. The only thing you might want to consider is the extremely high selenium content of Brazil nuts. Too much selenium could lead to a case of toxicity. One Brazil nut already covers the DV in selenium.
