Yep, the title says it all. I have been drinking unsweetened almond milk for awhile now..but I saw the other day in the grocery store by the same company and also unsweetened..almond/coconut milk..OMG it's so good!! I blended it with some unsweetened cocoa powder (antioxident rich) and a little bit of blueberries and 2 strawberries. I added a little stevia, some ice..SO GOOD! delicious smoothie! I was a little bad today..I also had a grapefruit too. shocked

But anyway..try this! It's so good, even alone without anything added!! Very tropical and light.

Yum!! Thanks for sharing! Will have to look for this!

Have you tried the frozen bananas, with a little coconut milk and cocoa? Tastes like a banana chocolate milkshake!

I'd love to, but unfortunately, bananas are too high in sugar and are very starchy. I bet it would be awesome though blended with this!

Lately I've been adding a splash of coconut water to my almond milk when I make my morning Green Vibrance smoothie. it's good stuff and has a lot of potassium. I once ran a half marathon using coconut water as my sports drink.

Yes!! Together and it's delicious on its own but even more divine blended with cocoa powder and a handful of berries and a little stevia!! Mmmmmmm I'm starving as usual about now at work with nothing to eat:( but when I get home I'm having some of this asap!!

WWJD-- I don't know about you, but I have an ice cream machine and I bet it would make a very yummy treat!!

Yes it's sugar free LOL. I get plain unsweetened cocoa powder by hersheys. I'm in lurve LOL. And when you add stevia watch out :)~

Bananas will also increase inflammation smhair - something none of us need anymore of!!

For a lot more of the benefits of coconut anything (water, milk, or any other pure form), please see: www.coconutresearchcenter.org/ as the potential benefits are too many to list here!!

Sometimes I wish I didn't live out in the middle of nowhere!! I can't even get coconut or almond milk!!! Then you guys get started discussing chocolate too!!!! smhair ACK!!!! Now I'm in a chocolate mood!! shakehead Oh noooooooooo!!! Giggle!

Have you tried full fat coconut milk in the ice cream machine? Don't do the low fat stuff, do the thick kind that comes in the can in the Asian section. That should be really good and healthy.

Bananas increase inflammation??? Oh, that's a bummer! Is it because of the sugar content????

Woo good ideas for ice cream! WWJD-- check out www.almondbreeze.com !! You can find where they stock it. In my grocery store I find it in the milk section. They also sell it non refrigerated (not sure about the combo tho) I prefer to buy it refrigerated.

Traveler--have you tried your local target? They have the almond milk there at mine. Also, you can ask your local grocery store to carry it! If you cant find it I'd be happy to send you some!!

Although bananas won't cause inflammation, they will however increase any inflammation that is already in the body. Inflammation is something that a lot of people with these infections already have trouble with - even if they don't realize it.

An easy way to find out if they are affecting you - if you are eating bananas regularly, avoid them for about a week , then eat a banana or two and watch for increased symptoms. If you are only having a banana every once in a while you can either eat two and watch for symptoms or just pay close attention when you eat just the one.

Sleepless~
LOL!! Someone would have to send me some for sure!! turn Giggle!! We don't even have a local Walmart!!! Definitely not a Target or anything else! As I said, I live out in the boonies!!! smilewinkgrin I'll have my youngest daughter bring some up with her one day though - I gotta try this!!! Then I'll have to try it once my goats start milking again! Yum yum!!

Raw goat's milk isn't like cows milk. Even in Chinese Medicine they want you to avoid all but small amounts of dairy - unless it's raw goat's milk - then it's considered very healthy!!! turn

By the way - all I did in your last post was to make your link into a hyper-link! wink

Wow - I usually drink smoothies every day for lunch in the spring/summer - I am officially REALLY excited to try this!

(Although tomorrow is apparently supposed to be 70 degrees in NJ! ...makes me want to run out to the store right now!)

Thanks for sharing! And for making me very hungry! smilewinkgrin

ROFLOL!!!! OMG!!! turn Now that's an idea I can get behind!!! LOL!! It's a bit expensive for a regular diet for my little goaties, buuutttt - wouldn't it be fun to try?!?!?! smilewinkgrin

I am lactose intolerant, so I grew up on soy milk (Vanilla soy milk by Vitasoy...packed with sugar). But when I started treatment for Lyme I had to switch to the stuff with no sugar. It is definitely still yummy and much healthier! Coconut milk is more expensive, but I like it better because it has a little more taste and is a little thicker- the almond breeze is a tad on the watery side for me

LOL!!!!!!!! Yeah Trav--let's feed your goats some coconut and almonds !! LOL!! Thanks for the laugh.

See, I find the almond breeze perfect..but then again, when I did try and tolerate milk, it was aways organic skim. So that's probably why! But try the coconut/almond combo. It's delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
