Re: Making Milk Palatable for My Beloved...HELP!

[Guest guest]

hi there~

if your husband loves chocolate milk: what about using pure cocoa

powder and a sweetener of your choice? i used to love it made that

way when i was a kid.

you may need to heat a small amount of the milk to dissolve the

sweetener if it's a dry granulated form, and then stir in the cocoa

powder as well. whisk it if necessary, then add it to a glass of cold

milk.

hope that helps ~ susan

p.s. a couple more ideas just popped into my head:

-honey and cinnamon

-honey, nutmeg and a dash of pure vanilla

-smoothie style drinks: for example: banana, fresh squeezed orange

juice and milk mixed together is delicious! oh how i wish i could

drink milk, that sounds heavenly right now...

good luck ~ susan

Is there any good, WAP alternative for the Nesquick or any other

healthy flavorings to add?

,

THANK YOU!!!!! I can't wait to try the honey and cinnamon one for myself!

THough my husband is a " healthy " eater, he indulges his 17-year younger wife

by allowing me to spend $6 per gallon on " pet milk " and $3 per pound for

wonderful REAL chicken adn $6 per pound for hamberger (now a rare treat).

He will eat whatever I cook without complaint. He has terrible allergies,

which isn't helped by the fact we have a furry Akita who is almost done blowing

her winter coat, a cat and a rat!

I just feel like if I could get the milk down him...it would help his

allergies and prayerfully help our family to increase!

Thank you again!

Hi Mrs,

I hate to be a buzzkill, but if he really doesn't like milk maybe

there's a good reason for it. It's not a magic cure-all that is good

for everyone. I don't know what his exact objection is, but it might

be worth listening to it. Especially if he's willing to eat most

everything else you prepare.

Why not try a good-quality vitamin C supplement for his allergies?

Amla C or Pure Radiance C are good food sources of it and would

probably be a relatively easy sell (since C clearly relieves allergies

and it's just a pill to take).

Would organic chocolate syrup do? Trader Joe's has an Organic Midnight Moo and

Whole Foods has an Alaska brand.

I have to agree with here. It seems that many of us with food

allergies are either obsessed with the food or turned off by it. Especially

since he has allergy issues already, those can often be linked with food

allergies of some sort. There are a number of people at GFCFNN who have

gotten sicker after starting NT because they started to eat lots of " it's so

good for you " raw dairy. BTW, I'm not saying raw dairy is bad - it's can be

an awesome food if you're not allergic to it. :-)

hi mrs. bernstein,

now i see that the milk was in hopes of curing your hubby's

allergies... i will add my 2 cents as well. my allergy symptoms are

actually improved by *avoiding* dairy (except for butter). i ate a

lot of dairy and wheat as a kid, now as an adult i don't do well with

either of those foods anymore.

(steph, i should probably come over and say hello to the gfcfnn

group, eh?)

I like the Midnight Moo syrup available at Trader

Joe's. I havent' bought this product in over a

year, though. (We've drastically cut down on

sugar intake.) So I can't vouch for the

ingredients. I think it is just organic can sugar

and chocolate but I don't know for sure.

Joy and Peace,

" What would the world be, once bereft

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,

O let them be left, wildness and wet;

Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet. "

From Inversnaid by Gerard Manley Hopkins

(1844–89)

I bought some (pasteurized) organic vanilla-flavored milk for my son

who has chocolate allergies and it was really good. I realized the

simplicity of it - just add a drop of vanilla and some sweetener to

the milk and it tastes like vanilla ice cream! We've been doing it

since for those times you get a sweet tooth. Yum!

Add a few egg yolks or a banana and you'll even have a texture a lot like

melted ice cream.

Even beyond the allergy issue, I think certain foods might tend to get

overemphasized. Many ancient and well-developed traditions emphasize

that different constitutions require different combinations of foods

for good health. It seems to me that there are very few foods in

those traditions that are deemed always good for everyone.

For my own part, I've noticed consistently that my instincts about

certain foods are right. If something helps me, I usually crave it

once I've had it a few times. If it isn't good, I don't like it.

(Very anecdotal, I know). Forcing myself to eat it because of some

principled or intellectual idea of its benefit would be a mistake.

But as I said, I don't know his issue with milk or anything about him,

so my comments may not apply at all.
