Yes, I know. There are some of you out there who LOVE your milk, and don't want to give it up. You don't have to! Remember that it takes 12 cups of alkaline water to dilute the acid in just one cup of cow's milk. If I drank that much water in addition to the 3 Liters I'm already trying to drink each day...I think it would do me in! So, we need alternatives.
In our home, we top our cereal with Almond Milk. It is naturally sweet and delicious. Now, you can make this yourself using 4 parts water to 1 part soaked almonds in your blender if you wish.

Robyn will also tell you how to make your own raw ice cream. Trader Joe's carries almond milk by the box for almost half the price of regular grocery stores, but you can find it at almost any grocery chain (look for it in the health food section). What a great way to add to your food storage as it does not need to be refrigerated until after it is opened, and it can sit on the shelf for approx. 10 months (just check the expiration date).
I use Coconut Milk in my cooking. It is a healthy way to thicken soups, gravy, and sauces. It's absolutely divine in a fruit or veggie smoothie. Coconut Milk is also an excellent addition to your food storage as it comes in a can. Experiment with what you like. You'll never go back.
