I'm so excited! I was wandering down the organic/ethnic aisle at Meijer today and I happened across SO DELICIOUS Unsweetened Coconut Milk... Soy free, dairy free...and the best part SUGAR FREE! I am a happy girl. This isn't for those of you looking to avoid fats; it's full of 'em. 5g in 1 cup. But, sugar-free!!!

    Coconut anything is very healthy though, and I have started using coconut oil for baking in place of shortening, no saturated fat or trans fat in certain brands. I will have to try the milk.

    just be careful with it, it can give you belly aches and I don't think you can cook with it. I use almond milk and it makes a really good pudding, shakes and smoothies it really thickens up. And if you get the boxed on the shelf it has about a year shelf life

    The BEST curries are all made with coconut milk. Cook it up!

    SO DELICIOUS makes tons of great products. I'm a huge Ice Cream lover, but since going dairy free can't eat it of course. I recently came across the So Delicious ice creams............YUMMY! My favorite is the Coconut Almond Bar. Tastes like a frozen Almond Joy! I still want to try the coconut milk and the coffe creamers. Those are my next purchases.

    Do you happen to know the calorie count per cup?
