I could not thank you enough for this recipe and I am thinking
about the other nut milks you could use this with.
And what
about other nut milks?
Not exact matches
All of those are absolutely incredible, but I've always been curious
about what
other types of
nut milk taste like.
Kelsey, the

A typical full day of eating for me looks like: Breakfast: Spinach, Mushroom, Onion and Tomato Frittata... sometimes with bacon or homemade sausage Iced Coffee with coconut
milk Lunch (this is usually my largest meal of the day): 4 - 5 ounces of protein (turkey burger, pulled pork, chicken thighs, ground buffalo), roasted veggies and sometimes a sweet potato or butternut squash Snack: apple with almond butter or a handful of macadamia
nuts Dinner: A large salad with all kinds of raw veggies (cucumber, celery, carrots, cauliflower), avocado or olives, usually a lighter protein like grilled chicken breast, salmon or shrimp This would represent a full menu... I would say I hit this
about 4 - 5 days a week,
other days I may omit the snack or keep the snack and omit a meal, if i do that though I would add a bit of protein with it.

other commenter

nut butter and

A 50 g serve of almonds contains as much calcium as half a glass of
milk and supplies
about 130 per cent of daily vitamin E requirements (more vit E than any
other nut).
Foods
other than oils can contribute as much or more saturated fat, e.g. adding a can of coconut
milk to a recipe adds as much saturated fat as
about 1.5 cups of olive oil; 1 avocado has more saturated fat than 2 tbsp of olive oil, and an oz of several types of
nuts and seeds have the almost the same amount as 1 tbsp oil.
- Instead of coconut oil: ghee (in cakes) or cocoa butter (for chocolate coating)- Instead of coconut
milk / cream: cream, cream cheese, mascarpone or almond /
nut milk (very low in fat so may not work in all recipes)- Instead of shredded coconut: almond meal or
other nut / seed meal, flaked almonds, etc. - Instead of coconut flour:
about double the amount of almond or
other nut / seed flour
