If you don't have access to them, please let me know and I'll type some of them in for you. Serene Vannoy, Oakland, CA -- My daily Kickstart blog: http://serenecooking.livejournal.com/tag/kickstart

Take 1 cup of one of the following things and blend with 4 cups water. Strain if you want (I don't bother); add sugar/salt if you want (I don't): * raw nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts...) * cooked rice (brown works best) * raw or cooked rolled oats To pour on cereal, blending a banana with water works well, but you have to use it right away or it goes brown. The other "milks" will keep for a few days in the fridge. Serene Vannoy, Oakland, CA -- My daily Kickstart blog: http://serenecooking.livejournal.com/tag/kickstart

Any other suggestions that can be store bought and taste like milk?

You might also try sucking warm whole milk right from a cow or goat's teet. I have heard that once you do that, you don't want to drink the de-natured stuff so much. For cheese flavor I have learned to cook with nutritional yeast flake. The sauce I make with it inside of my mushroom and spinach enchiladas is to die for. www

Give it a try it has a sweeter flavor than most and it can be diluted with water in recipes. I could not tolerate the rice milk or almond milk.

I can not eat soy or tofu, because I had breast cancer sensitive to hormones and the doctor recommend me to not use soy products. thank you I was/am a total milk and cheese freak (recovering, at this point) Even when I was an omni or just a garden-variety vegetarian (not vegan), I always went dairy free whenever I was sick. I could always sense how much dairy increased that already bad mucus of a cold; I just couldn't bear to increase it more (I typically got BAD colds). It was very hard the first few days, but by the end of the cold, I wasn't really thinking about drinking milk much at all. I always did go back to it. Just before this Kickstart began, I got a cold (literally, the day after Christmas!). Out went the dairy, as usual for me during a cold. But this time I didn't restart! In the past, when I'd tried various non-dairy milks (usually while I was still drinking dairy), I just didn't like them...AT ALL. It was as if I still had the taste of dairy in my mouth, and simply preferred it; it was familiar. This time....it was completely different. The taste of dairy was already out of my mouth...and I found I really enjoyed almond milk! I don't use it a lot, just to make my hot cereal a little creamier and to take my medications (which I have to crush up and take with applesauce). I've also tried hemp milk, and plan to try others to see which I will like for various uses. I bought some bulk nuts, and plan to try making some of my own. Working my way up to soy and rice...I REALLY didn't like those when I tried them years ago. So maybe just give your palate time. Get completely off dairy for at least a week (which you've done if you're on this Kickstart). Then try a non-dairy milk made from something you really like (which was almonds for me; I would never try the hazelnut one available at my grocery store...as I can't stand hazelnuts!) Don't drink it straight if you are unsure; have it as a part of something (I do love a little stirred into my hot kamut). Don't expect it to taste like dairy; be open to its unique taste! Hope that helps! Regards, Jamie September Kickstart Goals: Walk/bike daily, keep up with forum, 100% low-fat vegan experimenting with maximizing FLAVOR! www
