This is very good! I've made it about three times and I haven't worked out the best way to strain it yet, but the flavor is really good! It's great in smoothies and over cereal. Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.

    This is a great recipe that is the most similar to the one I make at home when we are fasting. I have found the best way to strain it is to use a cheesecloth. I have also used the mesh device that comes inside my Lalanne Juicer. The result is a delicious, creamy milk that is free of harmful vegetable oil, concentrated sweeteners, and the problems associated with cow’s milk and soy.
