Is there an alternative to using tapioca starch?
Hi, SM. Any natural thickening agent will do – organic cornstarch, potato starch, etc. You can also leave it out altogether if you don’t need the beverage to be thicker than milk.
Hi, MarthaWW. You mix the oil with tapioca starch, and mix it into the milk at step 6.
When and to what do you add the oil?
Hi, Lynn. This program doesn’t work with calories, but rather with nutrients to meet your needs. The exchanges listed related to these: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists, which are based on the system standardized by the American Diabetic Association and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly American Dietetic Association).
Why don’t any of these recipes have the calorie count?
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that looks and tastes like sugar, but with none of the dental risks, and only 25% of the impact on blood sugar.
Oil alternatives to canola that may compliment nog very well:
Coconut, hazelnut, almond, macadamia.
Olive oil that is not virgin (i.e. “light”) may also be suitable taste-wise.
All are suitable health-wise.
hmmm
I am not happy to use Canola Oil. Can I replace it with Organic Olive Oil or Organic Coconut oil?
What is xylitol?
Xylitol is extremely toxic to cats and dogs. Be very careful if you have pets!
Can this be frozen?
