✦ Full-fat MCT coconut flavour
✦ Often calcium and vitamin D fortified
✦ Very low protein
✦ Rich plant-based alternative
Full-fat retail coconut milk (carton format) is a plant-based dairy alternative made from coconut and water, with a rich flavour and higher fat content than reduced-fat versions. It is often fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Like all coconut-based products it is high in MCT saturated fat. Its protein content is very low compared to dairy or soya milk.

Preparation note
Works well in teas, coffees, and smoothies where its coconut flavour complements the drink. Check whether the product is fortified — this varies significantly by brand. Not nutritionally equivalent to dairy for protein.
