Pina Colada, by Brad Wolff, MS - Food Science, UCLA
Today, I made the most awsome, delicious, nutritious, whole-food, raw
pina colada.
Just put the "milk" and "flesh" from a young coconut in a Vita-Mixer
(young coconuts have soft "flesh" that can be easily spooned out.
They can be found at some natural food stores and Asian markets.), add
one fresh pineapple, cut into chunks and turn Vita-Mixer on high for 1
minute. Then add 1 cup of ice cubes and 1/2 teaspoon stevia extract
(Optional. A natural, calorie free, sweetener that can be found at
most natural food stores.) Run on high 15 seconds and voila!
This recipe should work with a regular blender but you will have to
run it longer to smooth-out the pulp.
Eaten raw and in moderation, coconut is a healthy food. It, like
all other plant foods, contains no cholesterol.

Mr.Rodgers
Here is a reciepe I've worked on to try to get the taste just right.
Rice/Oat/Almond Milk Tastes & looks like real milk.
Ingredients:
½ cup raw uncooked rice(brown is best)-or- 1 ½
cups of cooked rice.
½ cup raw uncooked oat groats
½ cup ground almonds
12 ½ cups of good clean filtered water
2 ½ tsp. Sea Salt
2 Tbs. Safflower Oil
2 Tbs. sweetener (raw sugar, maple, etc)
Makes 4 quarts
Place ½ Cup of raw uncooked Rice and ½ cup of raw uncooked
Oat Groat’s in a
container and wash under running tap water until clean. Rinse with
good
water then add 2 cups of good water and let them sit in the water
for 3 or
so hours - this is called sprouting - Rinse sprouts again with good
water,
not tap, and place with 2 cups of good water into blender with ½
cup of
ground almonds (optional--but improves flavor)
Blend mix for 5-7 minutes. Place 3 cups of water in cookware, and bring
almost to a to a boil -
Add Blended Rice/Oat/Almond/Water mixture *- Let simmer for 30 minutes.(best
to use flame tamer)
Stir often. Let mixture stand in pan with lid on until cool enough
to work
with.
.
Now add 2 ½ tsp. of Sea Salt, 2 Tbs. of Safflower (or
other) Oil plus 2
Tbs. of sweetener. Add 3 cups good water and blend for 5
more minutes. Thin to taste with up to 4 ½ cups
more water,
stir in well. Strain twice if you’ve added ground nuts
*For a milk with more body, add more ground almonds or some other mild,
fatty nut to the cooking rice
Refrigerate .The results 1 gallon of rice/oat/almond milk that looks
and
taste like REAL MILK!!!
