(Orange Creamsicle Drink)


Ingredients:

1/2 cup of Ice cubes

The only commercial non-dairy evaporated milk that I've seen available is made out of coconut but you can make your own. See below for directions.

"Batida de Lechoza"
(Papaya Smoothie)


Ingredients:
1 cup ripe Papaya
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup Evaporated Almond Milk  (or any Non-Dairy Evaporated Milk)  
1/2 cup Ice Cubes
1 tsp Coconut Sugar (or Sweetener of choice to taste)

Ingredients for making Evaporated Milk:
2 cups Almond Milk (or any Non-Dairy Milk)

Optional Healthy Additives as shown:
1 tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
a pinch of Nutmeg on top

Directions for making the Non-Dairy Evaporated Milk:
Canned evaporated milk is homogenized milk with about 60 percent of its water removed. Although there are vegan versions of evaporated milk, finding it can be quite hard. So I decided to make my own. I took 2 cups of Almond milk and simmered it for about 30 min on low to medium heat to reduce it by half. Use a big pot in case it starts to boil so it won't spill onto your stove. Keep an eye on it and stir it often. Try not to let it boil. You could also put the milk into a crock pot and let it reduce that way. I just didn't want to wait for 4-5 hours. The end result was really amazing in this drink. Cool the mixture down before using it. 
​


Directions for making the drink:
Cut a very ripe Papaya. I used a Maradol papaya and I know when its ripe because it turns ugly. Lol... Do not throw away the seeds, they are edible and are great for protecting your kidneys from toxins, eliminating intestinal parasites, detoxifying your liver and are effective against E. Coli, Salmonella and Staph infections. I eat a few everytime I have a serving of papaya. 

Take 1 cup of the papaya and all the other ingredients and put them into a blender. Puree til smooth. I added fresh Aloe Vera gel to my drink, not for the taste but for the health benefits. The mild flavor does not affect the taste of the drink. 

I topped it with a little nutmeg.
