Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a great milk alternative for anyone on AIP, cutting down on nuts/seeds, or who have allergies to nuts or seeds. It's just 2 ingredients and comes together in minutes. This is a guar gum- free and carageeenan-free version too, making it great for diets like AIP and Whole30.
MEAL PREP: This works well during meal prep because it takes 10 minutes to make and can be stored in the fridge for use for up to a week.
FREEZER: You can freeze the coconut milk, preferably in ice cube-sized cubes for easy thawing or 1-2 cup servings in a freezer-safe container.
See the video below to see how to make this.
