JD12377 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I just started paleo a few days ago. Im having a fun time and it seems simple to me. Its working for me. I have one problem which Im hoping you guys can help me out. Im a huge fan of creamer in my coffee. I need an alternative that is paleo to get me off creamer. Also, I drink iced green tea out of wawa containers and turkey hill containers that are store bought, I need an alternative there as well. Any suggestions and help?

amberino21 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 There are plenty of alternatives for coffee - ghee,l and/or coconut oil blended with your coffee is delicious, or you could just add coconut milk. My favourite is just blended c.oil. No idea about the tea- sorry!! Just brew your own and chill, or blend with ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bargey Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Amberino is right.. coconut oil is lovely. MCT oil by itself is also good but it doesnt taste of anything! I like the fatty sensation it gives though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo_Mom Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 My daughter loves coconut milk in her coffee. Simply use in place of creamer. Look for one without additives. Shake well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahEM Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Can you make your own iced tea? Then you'll know exactly what's in it. As long as you remove the bags after steeping the tea it'll last in the fridge for a few days. Squeeze in some lemon and viola. Or make it fun by adding a few berries. Mmm...muddled berries in iced tea is so yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD12377 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Is almond milk permissive? And isn't any form of milk considered dairy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Is almond milk permissive? And isn't any form of milk considered dairy? Almonds aren't animals last time I checked! Most cartoned almond milk contains non-compliant ingredients (carrageenan is a big one), making your own is your best option. Coconut milk is probably an easier option!

JD12377 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I just tried coconut oil and yuck lol. It just looks greasy too. I'm not a fan. I'm gonna try coconut milk next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trezkholl0806 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I just tried coconut oil and yuck lol. It just looks greasy too. I'm not a fan. I'm gonna try coconut milk next. Make sure to blend it (it will get frothy)! Otherwise the oil will just sit on top of your coffee. Sometimes I use 3 things: coconut MCT oil, coconut oil & coconut milk, blended... sprinkle of cinnamon on top. So good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberino21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Definitely blend - I don't drink iced coffee, but blend my hot coffee with the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightandres1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was thinking that using coconut oil could be a dangerous deal. But i amazed with the results. The taste is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDBERRY Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Can I use Coconut Cream instead of Coconut Milk? I bought both thinking coconut cream would be good to use in cooking too, but also in coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nheco Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 About bottled tea, in japanese stores you may find bottled green tea without any sugar. (I don't know what type of tea you had. Also be careful, sometimes they use Genmaicha (which has rice in it, and maybe is not really whole30 then.) or some use barley. Just check what is inside.)

Robin Strathdee Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 LDBERRY - as long as it's only made with coconut and water (or maybe guar gum), go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The coconut oil makes great frothy HOT coffee, but I've not tried doing much with it cold. You'd need to emulsify when hot, but I'm not sure what'll happen when it goes cold. Maybe lumps Coconut milk or almond milk would be closer to regular iced coffee and you could shake it up with ice if you wanted. Cold brew coffee is much less bitter than hot brewed, and would be ideal for iced coffee. I don't like black tea, but I've made lots of nice iced teas from white tea and herbal/fruit teas. I brew it hot and then add iced water. Peppermint is very refreshing, as is Lemongrass & Ginger, Chamomile tastes really weird cold (to me).
