What's a good substitute for milk in my smoothies?

  • Since we can't have dairy, what should I mix in my shake instead of just water?

    Coconut water, or even better - coconut milk! Canned is best.

      Making your own coconut milk is super easy! Plus you can dry the pulp and use as coconut flour. :)

      Here's a good article about canned vs. carton. There's even a recipe on how to make your own coconut milk! http://life.dailyburn.com/die...

      Also super easy to make! ;) I will use the almond pulp dried into flour in baked goods. I love learning new stuff! :D

      I also use almond milk, the unsweetend plain kind. Alone it's not the best but when mixed with anything I can't tell the difference.

    Coconut or Almond milk is awesome! Just make sure you get the UNSWEETENED kind! The sweetened vanilla or original kinds have a lot of sugar added to them!

    Water. if you are going with almond milk, make sure to get the organic, all natural kind. the name brand kind in the local grocer have way too many chemicals, you might as well drink milk at that point.
