- Soy milk. I recommend Silk soy milk for it's smoothness.
- Almond milk. I recommend Almond Breeze almond milk for it's tastiness.
- Coconut milk. Can or carton is fine. Beware: high fat content.
- Cashew milk. The recipe can be found here.
- Sunflower seed milk. A strong taste and can be bitter.
- Hemp milk. Easy to make at home, expensive to buy at the store.
- Apple juice. Sweet and thin, to reduce the apple-y taste, just dilute with water or OJ.
- Orange juice. Tangy and slightly sour, pick one with very little added sugar.
- Coffee. A bitter, strong-scented liquid.
- Cranberry juice. A slightly, bitter berry juice.
- Guava juice. A very sweet juice.
- Hot chocolate. Cool it down first, of course.
- Coconut water. Great refresher liquid.
