Coconut Milk with Coconut Oil Coffee Creamer Recipe
by Tarla Dalal
Health-conscious people are always looking for healthier alternatives to milk to add to their black coffee, even though it is just a few teaspoons of milk that is needed to make your coffee palatable!
Milk contains lactase, which is considered to be unhealthy in many ways. You could replace the milk in your coffee with half a teaspoon of full-fat cream. Yes, full-fat cream is better than milk as it gives you good, healthy fat. Still, it is not the ideal option!
So, we continued looking out for better options and after a lot of research, we came up with this awesome Coconut Milk with Coconut Oil Coffee Creamer that goes beautifully with black coffee!
Anything to do with coconut is healthy, be it coconut water, coconut oil or coconut cream. Coconuts contain medium-chain triglycerides, which are easily digestible by the body and provide energy.
So add 1 to 2 tsp of this Coconut Creamer to your coffee instead of milk. You can make a batch and store it in the fridge for 4-5 days. It thickens to a fresh cream consistency when refrigerated, but you can comfortably add it to hot coffee and it will liquefy and mix well.
For healthy living, this creamer can be had as a beverage also. With a tinge of honey and vanilla, it has an exquisite taste. It’s a great option for athletes, lean and fit people. The good fat makes it a healthy snack to have between meals.
