Mixed Berry Milk for Drinking or Cereal (Non-Dairy)
"I love fruit on my cereal, but I don't indulge in it often enough, so here I created a recipe to pour over cereal that contained both the milk and the berries, but is just great from a glass, as well. Strawberry milk is a second fave to chocolate milk, but the ingredients in this berry milk are more common in my kitchen than strawberry syrup, so I compromised w/frozen mixed berries and unsweetened soy milk. It's a different texture than what you'd get using strawberry syrup, and healthier, too. I also have IBS, which means I'm not supposed to eat dairy. This is great on Shredded Wheat, I just made this this morning and am eating it now. :) This is supposed to be thicker than milk (due to the frozen fruit), but thinner than a smoothie, but you can certainly make this into a smoothie w/the addition of some soy yogurt, flavored or plain."
- Ready In:
- 2mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
1-2
ingredients
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup frozen mixed berries (I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 1 cup unsweetened soymilk (I use Silk brand)
- honey (to taste)
directions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding honey to taste. Add any extra milk or berries as desired; I used 1/2 cup of berries to 1 cup soy milk for a more subtle berry flavor, and I thought it made a good consistency and taste for both drinking and eating on top of cereal.

I used a full one cup of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries to the recipe and it turned out very well. I added 1 tablespoon of honey. This is a really good recipe, even though I am not accostumed to the soymilk which is why I gave it four stars and not five stars. -
Very different, very nice! I used a heaping 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, raspberries & marionberries that I always have on hand & added only a little more than 1 tablespoon of honey! Enjoyed it over a bowl of shredded wheat & a layer of a homemade granola [with lots of nuts & dried fruit pieces! A recipe well worth keeping!

Newest update March 28, 2008; I am so grateful and excited. A wonderful, generous, kind anonymous person gifted me with PM and I can't wait to use all the features. Thank you! I might add a couple notes or links to my page here such as forums I frequent, fave searches, and helpful info. Update March 2008: I was given the opportunity to join my very first recipe swap (I added the banner below, thanks Um Safia) This swap was really fun, interesting, and helpful. Lots of great recipes to choose from and lots of exposure for my own. I thought I'd update this a bit. It's April of 2007 already (wow!) and I might have written the stuff below at least a year ago, and longer. I live in AZ, with a roommate and a nice boyfriend. My roommate has only tried my cooking once, but my bf, bless his heart, tries really hard to tolerate it, lol! He's a good cook in his own right, but me, I'm still a newbie cook at heart. I still enjoy 'zaar and sometimes spend hours and hours on here, as it's still friendly, helpful, and interesting. :) Also, this is late in saying, but I'm supposed to be on an IBS-safe diet consisting of no dairy, egg yolks, caffeine, red meat, too much fat, everything I love, etc.... so I'm working on it, it's taking me years and years, but I've incorporated this kind of diet into my other eating, and if my tummy gets mad at me, well, I only have me to blame. :/
I've been married for almost two years and it's the first time I get to really cook for someone other than myself. (Hehe, I signed up with here not too long after I wrote this, now I'm separated - not because of my cooking lol - but surprisingly found myself again, acting as 'housewife'.) I'm not a great cook, but I do follow after my mother, who tends to estimte her ingredients and taste as she goes, but she and my sister are two of the best cooks I know. The best rule of thumb for seasonings is always add too little, you can always add more, but can't always take away if there's too much. I mostly try other recipes I find, but now and then experiment with whatever I have available if I can't get to the store or am broke, and sometimes come up with pretty good recipes. I also have a hard time cooking usually, it takes me longer than most people as I am legally blind and have no depth perception so sometimes it's hard for me to measure and prepare food. Any of the recipes I post might be estimated unless otherwise stated. Sorry for the inconvenience. :) I found this place doing one of my recipe searches. It looks like a fun place to get recipes. Take care all and happy cooking! :)
