Day 24 ALKALINE YEAR Milk Substitute In A Yummy Hot Dessert




What do you substitute for milk when eating  alkaline?  Cow, goat and sheep milk are all mildly to moderately acidic; rice milk is moderately acidic; soy milk is very acidic, as are all soy products (tofu, soy nuts)  However, unsweetened almond milk and coconut milk are mildly alkaline, along with other nutritional attributes.  Both contain some protein.  A cup of coconut milk has 41 grams of calcium, and significant amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, according to the U.S. Nutrient Database.

As I don’t usually serve desserts, Jack being diabetic, I decided to give the boys a treat last night and made this yam pudding, a yummy hot dessert on a cold night:

2 medium yams, baked at 350 degrees F for about an hour, or until they are very soft
1 cup coconut milk, warmed
1 tsp. nutmeg

Mash the yams in the hot coconut milk; add nutmeg and beat well to remove lumps; place back in warming oven until ready to serve.
