Pages: 1 COCONUT MILK AS SUB FOR SOY MILK IN RECIPES?       #1673 - 02/28/03 04:43 PM Edit Reply Quote SharonMello Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 996 Loc: Groveland, CA Hi - I was wondering if light coconut milk can be substituted for regular or soy milk in recipes? I have some in my cupboard but I can't remember why I bought it!!! Sharon -------------------- Sharon "Anything Chocolate"...that is all!

Coconut milk is usually super high in fat - check the ingredients and see if less than 20% or so of the calories come from fat. Also check what the serving size is they're using to give that figure. And make sure they haven't added any nasty chemicals in there as well. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

Here's the scoop: 14 oz. can Serving size 2 tbsp at 13 serv in can Cal 20 total fat 2g sat fat 2g chol 0 solium <5mg total carb <1 g fiber 0 sugars <1 g protein 0 So, the whole can is 260 cal, 26 g fat (wow!). There's a comparison between light and reg coconut milk: Lite cal 20 vs 55 lite fat 2 g vs 5 g sat fat 2 g vs 4 g Ingr are coconut milk and water. No preservatives and no artificial colors or flavors. What do you think? Sharon -------------------- Sharon "Anything Chocolate"...that is all!

I'd be super careful with this stuff - maybe use just a tablespoon or two per recipe to give a bit of coconut flavor. I'd treat it like any other oil and not like soy or rice milk. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
