AussieBelle Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hello I use coconut milk for fruit smoothies and thai stir fry...is there anything else you can suggest I cook with? I need to get some fat into my body tomorrow and my avocados aren't ripe nor do I feel like having coconut oil all day.... Thoughts, ideas?...anyone, anyone? Thank you!

Derval Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I suggest not using it for smoothies while on W30 It's nice poured over some fruit, or on/in coffee (I pour mine over the back of a spoon Irish coffee style) You could make a thai soup? sweet potato & coconut milk? chicken? Or I make a thai fish curry with it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrustdc Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You can sour it and and use it like sour cream; you can make kefir with it (I think it if you search the forums, there's a post about making kefir) and you can make yogurt. The sour cream is fast; the others aren't things you could do and eat today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieBelle Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 very good, thanks so much for these suggestions! Derval, are you suggesting not drinking a smoothie because of the fruit? Grrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 very good, thanks so much for these suggestions! Derval, are you suggesting not drinking a smoothie because of the fruit? Grrrrrrrrrrr Tom 'mod' Denham says The guidelines do not ban smoothies, but they are a bad idea. Drinking your food has a different effect in the body that eating the same foods whole. You don't feel the same fullness, so you are setup to eat more. And most smoothies include too much fruit, so is really a sugar fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It's so true. when I was a raw food vegan, I made a lot of green smoothies. It didn't matter how much protein powder or oatmeal or coconut oil I added to them, I was always hungry again way before the next meal was due. I used to think it was just me being greedy, it's so wonderful to be able to eat a meal and almost have to remind myself when the next one's due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy R. Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I made a cream of mushroom soup last week that was delish! I used coconut milk in place of the heavy cream. Today I made butternut squash soup that has it in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I couldn't find a link on here to the sour cream or yogurt recipe, is someone able to give me a link? Last time I made it, I used a cap full of apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and some smoked paprika. It as so good on the pulled pork lettuce wraps we had for dinner.

bratdoll Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Is Goya the only major brand of coconut milk that doesnt have everything added in it, besides guar gum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 this is my favorite thing to do with coconut milk. I make a sort of risotto with cauliflower and mushrooms. http://www.eatingforidiots.com/mushroom-cauliflower-faux-sotto/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there are a lot of brands that are clean. Just look at the labels for ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoodles Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I love this seafood stew: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/moqueca_-_brazilian_fish_stew/ I never bother with all the veggie layering and removing and putting everything back in the pan.... I just toss it all in and simmer it and it's so yum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratdoll Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I ADORE it in my espresso. I absolutely love espresso with sugar and cream, but since those are out of my diet now, espresso by itself is just plain yuck and coconut milk gives it the perfect amount of sweet and creamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love espresso with sugar and cream, but since those are out of my diet now, espresso by itself is just plain yuck and coconut milk gives it the perfect amount of sweet and creamy Heresy Espresso by itself is concentrated happiness. Add water (Americano) and you get to enjoy the happiness a little longer. That said, I like coconut milk in all of my coffees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrayS Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 A couple days ago I baked two butternut squashes in the oven on 400F for about an hour until they were fork tender, scraped and mashed all the flesh and mixed it with one can of coconut milk and a generous amount of cinammon. OMG, YUM. I've been eating a serving of it with each meal since (because there's a lot and my husband won't touch it) and each time I forget how delicious it is until I take the first bite. I also put it in my coffee now every morning. Tastes like heavy cream to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayS Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I should clarify that I put coconut milk alone in my coffee every morning now..... not the butternut squash concoction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
