geddy2115 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi, I've looked everywhere I can think of to find compliant Coconut Milk but have not had any luck. I've checked Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Sprouts. Any other spots that I may have missed or do not know about? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Are you looking in the Asian food aisle? You want canned coconut milk. Trader Joe's makes a light coconut milk and coconut cream: last I checked, both were compliant. (I personally hugely prefer the coconut cream: yum.) Whole Foods' 365 brand of coconut milk, last time I checked, was compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thai Kitchen is also usually compliant (always check labels in case they've changed!). I find that at my regular Publix. It has guar gum, which some people try to avoid, but that's allowed on Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Do you have a super Wal-Mart nearby? I've found the cheapest coconut milk there $1.46 and its only coconut milk. I believe it's called golden star brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddy2115 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks folks! I was just looking for the boxed versions but all brands I camw across had Carrageenan it it, which is a nono for Whole30, correct. I was not though looking down the Asian aisles if these stores so I'll definitely do that. Should I be looking for canned instead of boxed? Thanks again!

Tina R Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Boxed Aroy-d coconut milk is compliant but I get it from amazon. There is an Asian market in Escondido on E Valley Parkway that may have it. I need to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canned is your best bet for finding compliant coconut milk in a physical store. Just watch out for potassium metabisulfite as an ingredient, which would make it non compliant. And yes, carrageenan is off limits on a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betsie_n Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Boxed Aroy-d coconut milk is compliant but I get it from amazon. There is an Asian market in Escondido on E Valley Parkway that may have it. I need to check it out. HELP! I bought the Aroy-D milk from Amazon in the 33.8 oz box. I want to mainly use for my morning cofee, but the sticker on the side of the box reads: "Once opened shelf life is max 2 days in refrigerator." Is this true? Two days?? If so, suggestions on storage when I'm only using a little per day? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No it will last longer but it does go bad in about a week. I think you will have to make some spicy Thai coconut soup. Another option might be to freeze it in an ice cube tray, then add one ice cube per cup of coffee. I have not tried this so It may not work but you could try freezing one or two cubes first to see how it goes. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've frozen coconut milk in ice cube trays and it works great for things like marinades/batters, though I haven't tried it in coffee (I drink mine black). Worth a shot, especially if you've already bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
