So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage is an Organic Dairy-Free Staple

So what is coconut milk beverage? Coconut is confusing because so many recipe creators throw around the term “coconut milk” for various products. Regular coconut milk comes in a can and is very high in fat. It works as a great substitute for milk and cream. But coconut milk beverage (mistakenly written just as coconut milk sometimes) is a drinkable version of coconut milk – basically, it’s been watered down and emulsified. You can use it in place of dairy milk on cereal and in recipes. I buy and use the Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage to test recipes quite often, but they have several varieties available.

So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage isn’t new, but it’s been a decade since we first posted about it! So today, I’m updating this post with our new information and review format (you can leave your own rating and review below), plus the current varieties.

So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage is an Organic Dairy-Free Staple

Sometimes it’s seamless in recipes, but straight up, this beverage does have a coconut vibe. The Vanilla and Chocolate varieties are less overtly coconut, but still have a subtle influence.

Tried to leave a review on their website, but there were “errors” which didn’t let me post it there.
I tried the organic unsweetened coconut milk and it was the worst coconut milk I’ve ever had. It was thickened artificially to the point of making it hard to swallow. Absolute worst for cereal because it gets so thick. Can’t even drink the leftover milk because of how goopy it is. There are also white clumps in the drink. Shook it like there was no tomorrow and white clumps were still in the drink.

I like this brand because it’s easy on my sensitive stomach. I use it for cereal, in my eggs, in many recipes to replace milk and it holds up well in most cases.
