Coconut Milk substitution for Frugal Friday.
Hosted at Biblical Womanhood.
Todays frugal idea is something I have read a little on here and there and finally just decided to try. It is a coconut milk concoction. Normally I buy soy and rice milk and enjoy them both. Soy milk is always high in sugar and rice milk a little bland, both can be quite pricy, even with coupons. Making this coconut milk costs me less than half what I normally spend on soymilk, even after sales and coupons! I make a pitcher for about .80!
Ingredients:
one can coconut milk
3-4 cans water
10-20 drops liquid stevia (or sugar, both optional)
dash of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla (also optional)
Mix all of these items in a big pitcher and keep in the fridge. Try it on cereal, on oatmeal, in a glass, in recipes. It is soooo yummy!
Worried about getting enough calcium normally found in cows milk and soy milk? Did you know celery and oranges are high in calcium? We eat such a huge variety of whole foods and take good quality multi-vitamins I am not concerned about calcium in beverages. I am loving substituting this for myself, but for my daughter may do some soy as well as coconut for all the added vitamins!
Give it a try! You just might love it as much as I do.
