Sweet Coconut Milk
When going dairy free, one of the first things people wonder is what to do as a milk alternative. Although they are becoming more popular, milk alternatives sold at grocery stores can be quite pricy plus you must be cautious about certain brands that add in a lot of ingredients to the product that can derail your overall goal of health.
Though this milk turns a light brown color from the cinnamon, that is an optional ingredient so you could make it more of a white "milky" color if desired. It's great in protein shakes or over Paleo cereal.
