Simple Coconut Milk Recipe

A couple of years ago I learned about all of the preservatives in alternative milk options like almond and coconut milk. I was surprised at how little almonds or coconut is actually in carton based milks you can buy at the store.

Instead, I use this simple Coconut Milk recipe to make my own coconut milk at home. I use it for smoothies, soups, oatmeal, cereal, lattes, and lots more!

The ingredients are simple and it’s so easy to make. We makes this 1-2 times a week and it lasts for several days. We use coconut milk for just about everything so we go through it pretty quickly. Coconut milk keeps will for about 5-6 days in refrigerator.
