I haven’t bought almond milk in over 2 months now. Really not a whole lot of nutrients in it and lots of other ingredients that I don’t want to consume! Trying to simplify my “diet” right now! I have really enjoyed making my own homemade coconut milk and using it to create these naturally flavored Coconut Milks!
One note when making your homemade coconut milk (which is so easy), the smaller batches you make, the more “milk” and cream you extract! When making my milk yesterday, the cream didn’t even harden on the top (after being refrigerated) because I blended it so long and in small batches! I need to do it a few more times and make sure I have that part figured out.
I hope you enjoy these 3 variations. Blueberry milk would be nice too. I should be picking blueberries this week off my mil’s TREES (the bushes are HUGE)! I can’t wait!
NOTE: If using canned coconut milk, be sure to use one that only contains coconut milk and water. I highly recommend making your own Coconut Milk. It is so easy and it taste SO much better! Also, dilute the canned milk 2 or 3:1 (coconut milk to water).
**For Frozen Shakes, add frozen berries or 5-6 ice cubes to blender.
