Gryph had a couple bad gallbladder attacks and had to be off wheat and dairy for a while. He can handle hard cheeses okay now, but milk and butter are out of the question. I switched to coconut oil for the butter with no problem (and I'm about to find out how well it works in cookies and brownies) but I've been hesitant with the almond milk.

Cath have you ever used an olive oil/lemon flush with Gryph for gall bladder cleansing?

My experience with Almond Milk is that it can be a little thin. So depending on what I am using it for I may tweak the milk substitute a little bit. Well I tend not to use cows milk in a lot of things, but organic Almond, soy and rice milk can be hard to come by in some locations so there are challenges to that. As long as you do not need the milk to emulsify with anything like an egg yolk you should be ok.

I am very interested in knowing how your coconut oil baking experiment turns out. Please keep us posted.

And feel free to send samples *grin*

(you knew that was coming, lol )

I find Almond milk to be middle of the line. When I want more rich milk I go coconut or hemp. When I want thinner I go rice or oat. All depends on the dish.

Maybe it depends on what brand of almond milk we are using. I love coconut milk. My only concern is that it is not coming from places that are trashing the rain forests to produce coconut and palm products. Getting info on sustainability is hard sometimes. Lots of misinformation out there. Goya is a good bet.

I have never used Hemp milk. Do you ever make your own milks? One of my concerns is that there is so much toxic soy milk on the market. People are trying to eat healthier by buying commercially produced mainstream soy products and they are buying poison. This is so frustrating to me. I am all for GMO and chemical labeling.

Not as often as I'd like to but I do at times. I have a vitamix which makes it easy. Our coop gets young coconuts sometimes so when they have them I make the coconut milk from them. Easy enough to make almond, etc in the vitamix. I just find it goes bad really fast so if I'm going to use it in 24 hours I'll make a batch in proportion to how much I will be able to use.

Great idea. I should get a Vitamix.

Almond milk is such a superfood, so rich in nutrients and protein.

Good to know. I need to get something. My Cuisinart blender that I loved needs a new container. The motor is fine, the blade unit stopped working. Cant fix it.
Its a great blender too. Takes down ice into a fine grind pretty fast. I use a blender a lot for soups and sauces. In the hot weather I like to mix ice, a little juice, fresh fruit and water to make a hydrating drink and stay away from soda.
Although this summer I drank a lot of gatorade G2 just to stay alive. lol
