In the book 'Not Milk ... NUT MILKS!' Candia Lea Cole presents us with '40 of the most original dairy-free beverages ever,' featuring organic nuts, seeds, fruits, wholesome sweeteners, liquids and natural flavorings. Banana Coconut Cream Walnut Milk, Apple Fruit Harvest Pecan, and Mellow Carob Almond Cocoa are just a few of the delicious choices that she says provide a nourishing source of plant-based protein and calcium. Served warm or nicely chilled (for four season enjoyment), a quart of these creamy smooth-sipping beverages (made with heart-healthy flaxseed) can be prepared in 10 minutes. The author enjoys serving the nutmilks along with a muffin to her family and friends as well as the neighbor kids, who especially like the 'magic' of "making milk without the moo!" Perfect for those who must avoid dairy and milk products due to allergies, lactose intolerance, asthma or other medical reasons. In a taste test, whose results were published in Dr. Julian Whitaker's Health and Healing Newsletter (July 1993), this collection of nut milks ranked #1 amongst several non-dairy contenders! Nutmilks are "eco-friendly." They are free of veterinary drugs and growth hormones that commercial milk products contain, which put the health of cows, people and eco-systems at risk.
