BookLover02 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi! I am on day 4 of my very first Whole30 and I am loving it already. There are so many delicious recipes that I just can't wait to try! Unfortunately I am allergic to coconut. Mostly coconut oil and milk but as a general rule I try to stay away from it completely. I am dying to try the ranch dressing, the sweet potato soup and a lot of the other recipes in the book that call for coconut cream or milk. Is there a substitute for that, that will make the meals just as delicious but safe for me to eat? I am sorry if this questions has been asked and answered already I haven't had a chance to read through all the forums yet. I have to say that I feel so great that there is a place where I can voice questions and concerns like this! This program is so inclusive and feels so great already! I appreciate any answers and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflower Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 you could try almond or cashew milk...maybe? Or substitute broth? You won't have the same creaminess, but might be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate any answers and help! The easiest way to search the forum is google... 'whole30 coconut allergy' would be a good search to start with, altho just plain google will help too... there's a huge paleo community online and while Whole30 is a bit of a different animal, for answers to things that are not whole30 specific sometimes Google in general is helpful.

purplepadres Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I don't love the taste of coconut milk in ranch dressing, so I've made it without. I use mayo, ranch seasonings (or fresh herbs), and some red wine vinegar blended together to make a very tasty ranch dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
