Hey Vital Family! In today's blog post we are sharing with you a crucial coconut mylk recipe for all of your favorite cereals, smoothies and sauces.  This is such a powerful recipe because here we are using the shreds instead of having to purchase the fresh raw young coconut meat that can be costly and hard to find for some. We love fresh coconut mylk make from organic young coconut meat but if this is not an option for you, here is your ticket. 
What you will need:

2 Cups Unsweetened Coconut Shreds
2 1/2 cups Water
Equipment Needed:
Nut mylk bag
Large Bowl

Here is how to make it: 
You want to heat your water on the stove just under a boil. Then add this water on top of the coconut shreds in a large bowl. Stir it at first and then knead it with your hands to really incorporate the mixture well. Do this for several minutes as it will yield a richer, creamier mylk.

Then simply add the contents in the bowl to your nut mylk bag and strain out the mylk into another bowl or jar. This is your final product and a nourishing, rich cost effective way to create coconut mylk!

Lots of love from the Vital Life Team.

Take your desired amount of mylk depending on how thick or thin you like your porrdige and put it in a pot on the stove. Choose the lowest heat or a setting for "warm".  Keep an eye on it and stir it so that it gets warm to the touch but not hot so you keep the enzymes and nutrients intact.

Then add in the desired amount of chia seeds, around 1/4 cup for 1 to 2 cups mylk.

​Grind one tablespoon of flax seed and put this in the mylk.  Allow the chia to swell and the flax to incorporate well. In a bowl add a few fresh pomegranate seeds, goji berries and fresh, cinnamon & ground vanilla bean powder. 

Enjoy this nutritious raw porridge that is sure to nourish and warm your heart.
