Frozen coffee drink

This is so simple, and just what I've been wanting on these hot days.  The vanilla almond milk has a density similar to lowfat milk.   I use other milks for baking.  But for drinking, I find rice milk is too watery, oat milk is too oaty, and hemp milk leaves a weird aftertaste.  Perhaps there are better brands of these options out there that I have yet to try, but almond milk has been a real winner lately.

In a tall glass, add:
12 ice cubes
1/2 c. coffee
1 1/2 c. vanilla almond milk (or other MSPI-friendly milk you like)

Repeat as necessary.  I haven't had coffee of any sort for about 9 months and I suddenly needed two of these yesterday.  And today.

Orange chocolate chip cake

Okay, so it seems I'm really into cakes these days.  Maybe it's because my local store hasn't had cococnut milk ice cream (or any other frozen treat I can eat) for months.  This is another recipe that doesn't dirty too many dishes and can be thrown together in about 5 minutes, or as fast as you can get all the ingredients out of your pantry.


Preheat oven to 350.


Add to 9x12 pyrex (or other baking) dish and mix together:
2 c. all pupose flour
2/3. c. sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt


Then, add (wait to mix until the end):
1/2 c. canola oil (or other MSPI-friendly oil)
1 substitute egg (EnerG egg replacer) (or a real egg if you're not allergic like me)
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 c. orange juice
1/4 tsp lemon juice (optional)
1 cup vanilla oat milk (or other MSPI-friendly milk or water)
1/4 c. chocolate chips (Enjoy Life is the only brand I can get here that doesn't have soy lecithin)

Mix well.

Bake 35 minutes or until knife comes out clean.  Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Yum!!
