we eat a lot of coconut and we love the milk I make my own like BB does.. I get three or 4 a week . One Grandson can't drink cow or goat but he did coconut milk just fine so as a good Grammie I make milk for him now several of them like it oatmeal or straight on cereal .

seaturtle, I think coconut milk is wonderful! Unlike BB, I don't make mine fresh, but get the So Delicious brand when I can find it on sale and/or have coupons for it. I use their coconut coffee creamer in my coffee just about every day, and it doesn't give a coconut flavor to my coffee either.

That is great Cindy.

I use fresh Thai young coconuts, use to buy them by the case on a weekly basis, know all about coconuts as I use to live off them.

I also consume organic coconut water daily and use raw organic coconut butter which is the most divine treat ever. I use raw coconut oil for skin and hair care. Great stuff.

Jetamio - real coconut milk does not have a bitter aftertaste. You must be referring to denatured coconuts from canned or fridge shelf coconut milk? If you are referring to fresh homemade coconut milk then I must question what kind of coconuts were used and their level of ripeness or if rancid.

I love almond milk as well! Have you tried almond milk ice cream? Yummy.

Coconut milk has sort of a bitter after taste to me. I don't care for it very much and it is higher in fat. I've tried coconut milk ice cream and it was enjoyable.

I love coconut water however! I do a ton of hot yoga and drink it after class ocasionally. Especially if I'm taking or teaching multiple classes.

Link to nutritional label of coconut milk: http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-coconut-milk-i12117

1 tablespoon = 16% of the saturated fat daily allowance...1 tablespoon... Same amount of saturated in 1 tablespoon of Crisco shortening but less than half when compared to 1 tablespoon of butter!

% of daily values:

1 tablespoon = 6% of total fat, 16% of saturated fat, 1% of dietary fiber, 1% Vit. C and Iron based on a 2000 calorie diet.

A high intake of saturated fat has been shown to raise blood cholesterol, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Excess saturated increases LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood. It also may contribute to weight gain by providing excess calories.

Seaturtle, coconut milk made fresh is a real health boost. To make it fresh all you do is cut into a coconut, drain liquid, reserve liquid, open coconut, scrape out meat, transfer meat and liquid into blender and blend. You have fresh coconut milk. I believe you are asking about pasturized store cold shelf coconut milk though. Coconuts are a whole food, fresh coconut milk is as well, store bought processed is not so you will be consuming a denatured product. However, coconut is a lovely food even though it's a fatty fruit and high in saturated fat it has not shown to cause health problems, it has been shown to improve them. There are 3 foods I could literally live and survive off of and at one point of my life DID during health crisis: coconuts, avocados and bananas. Coconut water, the water inside a fresh coconut, is one of the most superior liquids a person can consume. It's PACKED with potassium for electrolyte balance and used in the past to save lives during war crisis. It was given through IV lines during massive injury with blood loss. Shoot for Thai young coconuts, they are the best when chosing fresh. If you can't get fresh coconuts then my best advice for optimal coconut nutrition would be to buy coconut water not coconut milk. There is also such thing as coconut milk sold in the can for cooking... that's not nutritionally dense though. Your best bet would be 1. fresh coconuts 2. coconut water from the store if 1. isn't doable for you... 3. dried coconut meat 4. cold shelf coconut milk and lastly 5. canned coconut milk

I have become a convert to almond milk, can't get enough of it. I never tried coconut milk - how healthy is it?
