After discovering most store bought coconut milk was loaded with sugar and other icky additives such as carrageenan I decided to take matters in my own hands & make my own . Carrageenans are used in the food industry, for their gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.” Carrageenan is not digestible and has no nutritional value so for someone like myself who has had digestion issues in the past, this is something I chose to eliminate. It has also been linked to cause inflammation in the body which causes an abundance of other imbalances. It’s often found even in organic and “natural” products so making your own is the way to go.
I make double batch & store it in a large mason jar so I can have it ready at the helm for my smoothies, turmeric milk, matcha lattes, & chia puddings throughout the week . It comes out so frothy, creamy, & yummy its not even funny. You will wonder why this amazing discovery has been kept from you.
This is how to make the magic happen:
1. One can of coconut milk. Be sure its organic & BPA free. To learn the not so pleasant facts about what BPA does to our health check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/bpa/faq-20058331
2. 2 cups of filtered water
3. Blender
Put water & coconut milk in blender & blend away. Yup, that’s all thats to it.
Enjoy!
