HOW TO: Coconut Milk - Milk Alternative
Are you starting, or thinking about removing dairy from your diet?
Look no further my lovely friend.
Personally, I haven’t had any cow’s milk dairy for quite some time in an effort to help with my symptoms of Hashimoto’s and leaky gut. Also, if you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), then you may be saying goodbye to nut milks also.
Never fear. Coconut milk is here.
I’ve always been a devoted fan of the white stuff in my cooking and baking, but never as a milk to add to my cup of tea. Now, if truth be told, I’m enjoying coconut milk a hell of a lot more.
Just 2 ingredients, simple to make, and no hidden nasties. What’s not to love. It’s also packed full of medium chain fatty acids and lauric acid – used by our body’s for energy, and due to being antibacterial and antiviral, coconut milk can actually help build up our body’s immune defences.
Please know, I have no issue whatsoever in using organic coconut milk from a can – but be warned – so many brands (even the organic ones) contain gums and additives, highlighting the need to read labels! This is why making your own can be a real game changer when it comes to your health.
Let me show you just how easy it is . . .
