Wildcatgrad Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is the Silk Unsweetened Cashew milk Whole30 compliant? Here are ingredients: Cashewmilk (Filtered Water, Cashews), Sea Salt, Locust Bean Gum, Almond Butter, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavor, Gellan Gum, Ascorbic Acid, It sounds to be compliant but I want confirmation from the pros please.

Kjwaggon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's particularly yummy for making iced coffee, I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmysticks Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I saw this and wanted to try, but was unsure if it was a-okay. Now I'm definitely picking it up! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just a quick note...if you enjoy cashew milk it is pretty easy to make with just raw cashews, salt, and water. I'm willing to guess cheaper in the long run as well and without the shelf stabilizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloryshea Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I love my homemade cashew milk. It's way tastier than any store bought! I add cardamom and cinnamon to it along with the sea salt. Pre whole 30 I used a handful of dates for sweetness:) so good in coffee or to make creamy sauces. For breakfast side dish sometimes I soak berries and coconut flakes in it.

eboyle86 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I was quite surprised to find this at Walmart. Here in Ontario, we have very little prepackaged foods that are compliant (there are only two stores I can go to to get coconut milk that doesn't have anything added and one of the two is always out of stock). I use the coconut milk for cooking and coffee so I was pleasantly surprised to see compliant cartoned Cashew Milk. It's actually really good and has a pretty decent shelf life (for how much I use I need it to last a while lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthuz Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, good thing I use this already. I don't like any sweetened "milk". Question: How much raw cashews to make your own 1qt of Cashew Milk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2015 Let me add a word of caution here. Cashew milk, almond milk, any nut milk, is not a great food choice. No nut milk makes it to the top 50 list of things you should be eating. It is a fat source that you might include during your Whole30. When I hear people getting excited about cashew milk, I am afraid that it is being used as a substitute for crappy, processed coffee creamers and thereby keeping cravings for that crap alive and seductive. You can lighten your coffee or tea with a nut milk. You can use it in recipes. However, when you start adding dates for sweetness and soaking berries and coconut flakes in it, you have created a dessert and you have left the territory of a Whole30 and gone back to your former life. Don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yay!!! Glad to hear it's complaint. Gonna have it for breakfast with chia seeds and berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yay!!! Glad to hear it's complaint. Gonna have it for breakfast with chia seeds and berries. Did you read the thread? Here let me repost Tom's comment for you: However, when you start adding dates for sweetness and soaking berries and coconut flakes in it, you have created a dessert and you have left the territory of a Whole30 and gone back to your former life. Don't do it. Eat veggies, fat and protein..ok maybe berries occasionally, but, don't mess around with chia and cashew milk, and especially not in place of a template breakfast.

eboyle86 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I was excited to find it as there are very few options for compliant coconut milk in my area. The couple stores that carry it are usually out of stock. The cashew silk, however, is available at every walmart I have near me. I use it mainly for cooking and a little bit in my coffee (I can drink pre-made bought coffee black but can't seem to make my own that I enjoy so I add a little "milk" to it). I don't use it for anything else and definitely not for creating dessert type dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punklin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I use it in my mashed potatoes in place of cow's milk. Haven't told hubby and he doesn't know the difference. It's very creamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
