since my son is allergic to dairy products (& more) I make the rice milk for his cereal. I used to make almond milk but much of domestic budget cut at our home, I now use rice, Organic Brown Rice. if it is not organic then white rice should be better.

I soak the rice in filtered water over night in my hope to activate the enzyme in rice. rice bran is good for our health, however, I hear it is hard to digest unless fermented. I rinse well before soaking.

ingredients I usually use :
. Organic Brown Rice
. filtered water
in a blender machine, and strain

. Raw Cacao Powder
. Maca Powder
. Hemp Seeds
. Flax Seed Powder
. Xylitol as sweetener
. pinch of Himalayan Crystal Salt & sea salt (my salt is already mixed)
blend again with the Rice Milk above

note : you can add to your tea a little bit but if you cook this milk becomes gooey ...
it seems many people prefer using cooked rice and this video below seems much less rice used but explain a bit of benefits of rice milk.

crust :
rolled oats
dates
fresh orange juice
(when I make a raw pie for my son who is allergic to wheat/oats & nuts but still can handle walnuts & almonds so I use those nuts with dates for his crust. ... this one was for my friend who can't handle much of nuts, so I only sprinkled the sliced almond on the top a bit, that in this recipe you can add some nuts, too)

I put waxed paper first in the sheet so easy to serve

pie :
banana
apple (I like to use apple or pear for the crunchiness)
some berries
and any fruits you like or available
coconut flake
hemp seeds
raw cacao power

shredded coconuts
