Soy & Dairy Free, Unsweetened or Vanilla
If dairy isn’t your thing, and you’re looking for a new alternative, Trader Joe’s Coconut Milk could be just the drink to satisfy your search. Made with organic coconuts, both the Unsweetened and the Vanilla flavors are rich and creamy, making them excellent alternatives to dairy milk in everything from coffee to breakfast cereal to baked goods.
How does one make milk from a coconut? Simple, really. Combine equal parts of coconut meat and water and simmer until the mixture thicken and foams, then press through cheesecloth to produce a smooth, milky liquid. Voila! Coconut Milk. Ours is fortified with magnesium, calcium and vitamin D and rich in medium chain fatty acids, which serve as a natural energy source. You’ll find it in half gallon cartons in our refrigerated case, curiously positioned near the dairy milk. We’re selling Unsweetened or Vanilla in half gallon (64 ounce) cartons for $2.99 each, a great value, every day.
