Give this easy coconut milk recipe by Petra of Oh My Delish a try - you can use it for smoothies, porridge, baking, or just drink it plain. Enjoy!

Coconut milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, and an aromatic blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and clove... If you're thinking that this recipe by Amy Lyons of Fragrant Vanilla Cake sounds like a liquid version of pumpkin pie you'd be right. It turns out creamy, thick and perfectly sweet, very similar to eggnog only with PUMPKIN. What's not to love? We hope you enjoy!

Raw food recipes don't have to be complicated to be incredibly delicious and satisfying; in fact the opposite can be true!

A deliciously stripped down and simple pecan milk by Gena Hemshaw of Choosing Raw made with a pinch of real vanilla bean, cinnamon spice, and dates to sweeten. There is so much benefit to be found in replacing dairy milk with alternatives made from soaked nuts and seeds which are less allergenic, inflammatory, and mucus forming. If you're already purchasing almond milk you can take it to an even higher level by making your own in your blender! Many don't realize that most nuts and seeds can be used to make delicious milks- and pecans are no exception. They lend a very lovely rich, creamy flavor and when paired with cinnamon and dates the flavor is reminescent of cinnamon toast crunch!

The perfect hot raw drink to warm you up in the winter. This creamy sweet drink will give you both instant energy to burn and some healthy fats to slow the absorbtion of the sweet and give you long lasting energy.

Simplicity at it's finest! This chocolate mylk recipe combines fresh coconut milk with ice, a few drops of stevia, and of course a few tbs of Rawtella for a rich cacao hazelnut experience. Rawtella is sweetened only with coconut sugar crystals, which are low glycemic. Stevia is NO glycemic which makes this recipe very easy on the blood sugar. Sip on it's own, as a mylk over a raw cereal or porridge, or as a base for smoothies. Or leave out the ice, add a bit more water, and gently warm on the stove top and sprinkle with a little extra cocoa powder and coconut crystals for a warm drinking chocolate. Mmmm

A light, creamy, medicinal sesame sweet potato drink with some powerful hormone balancing effects. Once blended thoroughly, the sweet potato takes on a very pleasant, delicate flavor and combines very well with the rich earthiness of the sesame milk. This recipe contains both ashwaghanda and maca which are both adaptogenic herbs helping to balance and strengthen the endocrine system. Ashwaghanda in particular is one of the most widely used herbs in Ayurvedic medicine for energy and strength and also has a very calming effect on the nervous system. Lucuma, maca and cinnamon combine synergistically to help balance out the somewhat strong flavor of the ashwaghanda. Enjoy for breakfast or as a calming drink before bed time.
