I was just wondering if there is a way to make ice cream from the almond breeze milk. We finally got some in this town and i was thinking it would be nice to make ice cream from the chocolate milk, i think my step son would be so happy. So if anyone has any recipes please share them

I have used almond milk to make a shake in the blender. I like strawberry/blueberry best, and sometimes I add some banana, too.

Just put frozen fruit in the blender, add a few teaspoons of sugar and enough almond milk to nearly cover the fruit. Begin blending and as the fruit begins to freeze the milk, if it gets too thick, you can add more almond milk, a small amount at a time, until it's diluted enough to finish blending all the fruit.

Drink immediately before it begins to melt.

I use Almond Breeze and tofu to replace the cream and milk in all recipes - it works perfectly.

Is Almond Breeze a milk dairy product or a soy product? and where in store would I find it?

Several things can be used to make a milk-like product. Soybeans, rice, nuts. They are made by grinding up and soaking in water for a time and then straining out the solids. They don't taste like cow's milk, but can be used as a beverage, over cereal and in baking.

Almond Breeze is made by Blue Diamond and is made from almonds. I use it because I try to avoid soy and don't really like rice milks. Almond milk is packaged in a box just like the other milk substitutes and would be on a shelf along with soy milk and rice milk. They are not in the refrigerator case.

I also try to avoid soy and while I do like rice milk, I eat a good amount of rice as it is and figured some variety would be good.

I get mine from Trader Joe's, where I'm at in Michigan it's $1.99 per 32oz.

That is an awesome price, it is 3:29 here, but when you have been living without milk for so long, i am willing to pay the price lol. I have never tried the rice milk cause all we have is rice dream which is not casein free. I also do not like soy, it bothers me, so im happy that is soy, casein and gluten free.

I have made a sugar free, dairy free pudding with Almond Breeze, and it tastes great.

1 1/2 cups unsweeted Almond Breeze (any flavor)

2 tbsp cornstarch

Your sweetener of choice (I use stevia - 2 packets)

Any additional flavoring (with plain Almond Breeze, I have used vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or even some canned pumpkin with cinnamon and nutmeg)

Mix the ingredients in a pot on the stove and heat over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour into individual serving cups. Put cups into the refrigerator for several hours.

Makes three half cup servings or two larger servings. I'm sure the recipe could easily be doubled.

I was searching the web for almond breeze ice cream recipes when I found your question-here is a recipe I found on "Red Ramekin."

I'm sorry I don't know if the rest of the recipe complies with your diet but it sounds good-i am going to try tonight...

Almond Cremolata

2 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk (I used Almond Breeze)

1/2 c. sugar

1 tbs. corn starch

1 egg yolk, beaten

pinch of salt

dash each of vanilla and almond extract

Mix 1/4 c. almond milk with corn starch and whisk until thoroughly combined. Heat remaining (2 1/4 c.) almond milk and sugar over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Once mixture is hot, add a bit of the liquid to the egg yolk, whisking vigorously so that it doesn't scramble (this is called tempering). Add the egg yolk mixture to the almond milk, continuing to whisk to avoid scrambling. Add cornstarch mixture, salt, and extracts, and continue stirring until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Before freezing in an ice cream maker, strain custard through a fine-meshed sieve to get rid of any rogue lumps. It is best served right after churning, but freezes well, too.

Oh, yum! That sounds wonderful.

I would think you could make ice cream with Almond milk just substituting the regular milk for almond, you can make it with other milks w/out a problem. I'd add something creamy to it, though, because it will turn out like ice *milk*, thinner and more icy and less creamy if that makes sense. We made some with rice milk once, and added peanut butter and grape jelly. Sounds a little weird (and it was) but it tasted really good! The peanut butter made up for the missing creamy fat in the milk. Or you could use coconut milk with the almond milk if you like coconut....That would be really good and go a long way towards replacing the fat!

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
