Join the discussionDo you think almond milk would go ok in it
I was wondering the same thing about almond milk. But this sounds awesome. I think my husband would love it as will I after the baby arrives!
Almond milk would work fine but will change the overall flavor the smoothie.
How many ice cubes would that be for the coffee and coconut milk to prepare freezer bags? Thank you!!
For each serving, I ended up with about 4 cubes of the coffee and 5 cubes of the coconut milk.
Could you use something besides coconut milk to make the WW points lower?
You could use another milk type product though it will significantly change the flavor. Most of the flavor comes from the coconut milk. Also keep in mind this is not the full fat coconut milk but the coconut milk beverage. Almond milk would slightly lower the WW points but will give a different overall flavor.
I have a coconut allergy, so I’m not sure what coconut milk tastes like. What taste does it lose when substituting with almond? Sweetness?
I have not tried it with almond milk but the coconut milk does provide sweetness. You could certainly try with the almond milk and see what you think!
You’d probably want the vanilla flavored almond milk.
May be a silly question, but does coconut milk taste like coconut? 😛
Yes, it does!
Is it one banana per bag? I’m going to try this, looks delecious.
Yes, one banana per bag.
I have looked at Kroger and Publix, and there is *no* coconut milk in the dairy section – anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find it? I’m almost finished getting all the ingredients for next weekend’s big cook, and I really want that coconut milk! 🙂
Have you tried looking in the dairy section near where the almond milk and soy milk is located? The brand I can find locally is Silk and is with all the other milk products. I can find it at various local grocery stores. If you are looking for the same flavor you could use the coconut milk from the can with a mixture of another milk but the true coconut milk is much more thick and rich than the coconut milk drink.
I don’t like Silk but the almond company makes coconut milk & it doesn’t have as many additives as Silk.
Found in same section as silk. I buy it at Target.
At my local Publix, the coconut milk is usually with the ethnic foods and/or the organic foods. Maybe try looking there?
Could yogurt be used in place of the cococut milk?
I would think so, you might have to add a little liquid though.
Why do you use coconut milk beverage and not real coconut milk? Does it make a difference?
Thanks,
Paige
Real coconut milk is much more rich and contains a higher fat content. It could certainly be used but you may want to add some regular ice/water to ensure it is not too rich or thick.
Has anyone tried blending it all together before you freeze it. I tried another smoothie on this site that was done that way. You just let it thaw on the cabinet then served. It worked out fine.
We do lots of smoothies that way – you can certainly do it with this one too!
