Coconut milk is one of the healthiest dairy milk alternatives, and it is easy to make, for people who are:

• allergic to milk products
• are lactose intolerant
• can’t process dairy products,
• those who choose to remove milk from their diet for health reasons
• vegans who choose not to consume any animal-based products.

Coconut milk is not a real milk, like that produced from milk derived from cows, rather it is made with water and the liquid and oil locked inside the meat of the coconut.  This is the perfect drink if you’re on a paleo diet, like the one recommended by Brenda Walding, the creator of this delicious recipe.

Coconut milk is rather thick like dairy milk, and is a natural dairy-free milk alternative.

Coconut is considered a superfood, due to its naturally high antioxidant properties, and health benefits.   The fruit of the coconut palm, is particularly abundant in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  Coconut oil is not only a healthy cooking fat, it has many medicinal qualities, so drinking a glass of natural coconut milk is a delicious and healthy alternative to dairy milk.

You can use coconut with cereal, to drink like dairy milk and in recipes that call for milk.  While dairy milk is not always paleo approved, coconut milk can be used if you are on a paleo diet.

If you thought making home-made coconut milk is a long or complicated process, you won’t believe how simple it is, and you can get the ingredients at your local grocery store.

You will want to use a high speed blender, like a Vitamix or Ninja Blender, which which have sharp blades and spin at high rpm, to fully process the ingredients into a smooth consistency.  Unfortunately, a regular blender just doesn’t spin a high enough RPM to get the consistency you need to make coconut milk.

If you don’t have a high speed blender, you learn about the Ninja Blender here, which is the high speed blender we use.
