I needed an alternate calcium source for my daughter and found that one cup of natural sesame seed milk has a lot of calcium in it, depending on the seed you use it can be as much as 3+ times the amount found in milk. For more information on sesame seeds go to www.vegparadise.com/highestperch41.html using the Google search engine. For those that like a sweeter milk, add 1 Tablespoon honey or 2-3 dates and 1/4 teaspoon salt optional. Myself I prefer the natural taste of plain sesame seed milk. If you want to make a nut milk, follow the same process with your desired nut. Add your sweetener and salt just before blending.

This gem of a recipe was found in the 2005 cookbook, Raw Food -- Real World. NOTE: For those who might be concerned about whether or not agave nectar is a raw food, here is a quote from the internet = "To make the agave nectar, sap is extracted from the pina, filtered, and heated at a low temperature, which breaks down the carbohydrates into sugars. Lighter and darker varieties of agave nectar are made from the same plants. Because of the low temperatures used in processing many varieties (under 118°F) raw foods enthusiasts generally regard agave nectar as a raw food."

From Recipes for Food Allergies by Marilyn Gioannini. Any seed or nut that can be made into milk can be used to make a milk shake. Brazil nuts are used here as an example. Frozen bananas are an important ingredient - they serve the same purpose as ice cream in dairy milk shakes. Bananas should be frozen when fully rips. Peel them and place in a plastic bag. They will keep in the freezer without turning dark for up to a week.
