I'm not too familiar with wheat grass and coconut water; I believe almond milk is like Rice Dream or soy milk from an almond base. Has anyone tried these foods?

Not me. The most I've tried is soy milk. It's OK.

Wheat grass has all the vitamins minerals and enzymes known to man and has them in very high amounts,it has maybe 100 times the amount of iorn as spinach. About two to 4 ounces of wheat grass liquid a week and you can move mountains.

I'm lactose intolerant and used to drink soy milk and have tried the almond milk several times. The almond milk tastes pretty good, but you can't find it everywhere.

I gave up the soy milk, other than as an additive at Starbucks, because of the health issues w/soy and as a diabetic, most soy milk is full of carbs. I was drinking as many carbs w/a glass of soy milk as I was eating. Even the so-called lite soy milk isn't all that light, and I'm better off leaving it alone.

I do use coconut milk (don't know what coconut water is) in cooking and w/my protein shakes. Yum and lots of nutrients.
