Since I'm going mostly dairy free I'm using coconut kefir.
i either buy from health market:
or make my own:
1. Kefir starter package from www.bodyecology.com
2. Water from two coconuts which yields about 2 cups
3. Glass container with lid
4. Let it ferment on kitchen counter for 36 hours. Then place in fridge.
5. Drink about 2 ounces daily. It keeps for about 7 days.
36 hours later:
NOTES:
I'm still hunting for the best way to open up a coconut. I usually just take my biggest kitchen knife and whack it about 20 times on the top and eventually I see the white soft part that I can cut into. So, I started reading about it and came across these nice videos. Enjoy!

He basically says to hold the coconut and whack the side of it a couple of times (I was doing top) which then cracks 'the equator' (basically all along the side of the coconut). I tried this and it did seem to work pretty well:
Video 2:
This was a featured one on youtube. The top holes are called monkey eyes and she inserts a screwdriver. She shows 3 different ways to open it:
Video 3:
This one shows how to make coconut milk which is what I'm substituting for dairy (this one is 14 min):
