Katka Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi can I have just a coffe and coconut milk? I found in istruction you are not supposed to make creamy thing to coffee made of coconut milk, almond flour and other ingredients but not sure about just coffee and coconut milk. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 27, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2015 Coconut milk in your coffee is fine (I'm drinking that right now, as a matter of fact). Just check your coconut milk that it doesn't have any off-plan ingredients and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorbom Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Coconut milk in can or the coconut milk in the refrigerator section of grocery store (with the almond milk)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2015 Coconut milk in the can is more likely to be located without any off-plan ingredients. I have heard rumours that certain variations of "Silk" brand are compliant but they certainly are not in my area (watch for sugars and carrageenan). I am able to find a carton coconut milk in my big-box store that is just coconut milk and water which is lovely......but I understand that this is quite rare. Your best bet is the cans.

GFChris Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Coconut milk in can or the coconut milk in the refrigerator section of grocery store (with the almond milk)? As ladyshanny stated, your best bet, especially in the U.S., is cans, which you'll typically find in the Asian food aisle of your grocery store. Watch out for potassium metabisulphite in the canned coconut milk, which would make it non-compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is the cans. What brand is that? I used to buy the brand that Costco sold, but it had carrageenan in it so I stopped buying it a long time ago and hadn't looked at any other brands assuming they were all the same.

To be perfectly honest I can't tell you the brand. It's a black box with red chinese writing on it. I'm not even sure if it has an english brand name on it.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted August 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2015 Which store is that?? It's at Superstore... in the ethnic foods aisle on the bottom shelf. Black 1000ml tetra box. $3.49/box. The brand is Real Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruddock Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just to return the favor, in case you did not know, Langley Farm Market in Pitt Meadows carries compliant turkey & chicken sausage by Freden which is a local company. No sugar or additives or nitrates. The other locations might too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that the Jamie Oliver sausages that they sell at Thrifty's are compliant...for sure the herb & garlic one and I think the roasted red pepper and onion one.

I wish I sent this a little earlier for you! Thanks anyway on the tip, but I don't eat pork and most sausages have pork. I didn't mention that Freden also sells beef, lamb, pork & chorizo sausages, but I have only ever had the beef too, which are compliant. Sometimes they run out too (probably because of me!), so you don't want to miss out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted August 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks Ladies No problem! I would just kindly ask everyone in this thread to stay away from MY Superstore... It's like a hidden gem and I always sneak into the aisle, look around like I'm about to theive and then jam as many into my basket as I can lift... sometimes they go out of stock and I would be devestate to run out... so enjoy your new found black box coconut milk... just don't buy it from MY superstore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal! And following our complete wiping out of Superstore of all their Whole30 compliant coconut milk, perhaps we should consider getting together for a Whole30 potluck? And make all coconut-milk inspired things?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Jamie Oliver are pork based....and you're not really missing out, they are just alright (and expensive) but handy when you literally just cannot make another meal from scratch. But it sounds like you have a sausage sub, so that's perfect! I'll try the Freden ones next time I come out there. There's an awesome source for chicken eggs out that way for $4.50/dozen. Look up Reggie's Egg N Veg on Facebook. It's 249 and 112A approximately (Maple Ridge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get Maple Hills (also local) eggs from LFM - $4.99 for regular or $5.99 for organic. There is also a couple farms around our area that sell eggs for around $5-6/dozen, when they have them. We like to try to support local farms too, but I will definitely check this one out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted August 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2015 I do the Rabbit River Farms eggs from Richmond Country Farms (they sell them all over the place tho) and they're between $5.99 and 6.29/dozen organic, free range... I do feel the heft of all the cartons of large eggs lately tho because some of them are hardly 'large' so maybe the hens were feeling the effects of the heat. RRF also sells duck eggs (delicious!) at the farm as well as most T&T's in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Maple Hills sells organic "jumbo size" eggs which are truly bigger than a large size and at LFM, they are the same price as the extra large, they come in a slightly larger egg carton so you can tell they're bigger. You can buy Maple Hills anywhere too if you can't get to LFM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
