margaretlogan7 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ingredients: almondmilk, calcium carbonate, sea salt, potassium citrate, sunflower lecithin, gellan gum, natural flavors, vitamin A palmate, vitamin D2, D-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E) I put maybe two tbsp into my coffee this morning, and now I'm nervous that I messed up my Whole30! Please help...is this compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is technically acceptable, but it has way more additives than is optimal. Try to find something with a shorter list of ingredients, if any. Native Forest coconut milk is good and that's what I like in my coffee. Blend it rather than stir.

Physibeth Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Almond milk is really easy to make as well if you like the taste. But there are better brands out there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I highly recommend making your own, you get to control exactly what's in it (and how good your almonds are and whether or not they are soaked). If you're worried about leftovers, just freeze them in icecube trays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oralia Acosta Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I notice that Native Forest Coconut milk has Guar Gum (I believe) and that severely alters the taste of coconut milk and alters the texture when used for cooking. Also, this has sunflower lecithin, is that acceptable? What would be an acceptable substitute for soy lecithin which is ubiquitous? Thank you!

As far as I know, sunflower lecithin is the most common substitute for soy lecithin. You might look for Aroy-D brand coconut milk (I order it online) -- it has nothing but coconut and water. I'm sure there are other brands that are the same, that's just one I've had good luck with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
