Pour it into a glass for a refreshing drink, or use it as a base for your morning cereal. It can also be added to coffee or tea to mellow the flavor and add a creamy texture. In baking, it contributes moisture and helps bind ingredients together. For smoothies, it blends well with fruits and other additions to create a smooth and drinkable consistency. It can also be used in sauces and soups to achieve a richer mouthfeel.
