For thicker milk, straining it once should be enough. - For thinner milk, after straining it the first time, mix the remnants of the shredded coconut with warm water and strain through the cheesecloth once more or until you reach the consistency you’re looking for.   ## What Are the Benefits of Coconut Milk?   Coconut milk is a great milk alternative for those with allergies, sensitivities or just like coconuts. Some its amazing attributes are:   - Weight loss - Coconut milk contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which has been linked to weight loss through heat production, helping you to burn fat quicker. - Heart Health - Coconuts can increase levels of “good cholesterol” or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). - Rich in Vitamins and Minerals - Coconut milk contains high levels of saturated fat, making it a very calorie-rich food filled with protein, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and vitamin C. ## How To Preserve My Homemade Coconut Milk   Depending on what you need your milk for there are two main ways to store it, fresh and frozen.   - **Fresh:** You can store it for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.  If you happen to notice your coconut milk starting to separate after being refrigerated, don’t worry!  This is totally normal.  Just stir it up and proceed with your coconut milk goodness. - **Frozen:** Coconut milk can be frozen in an airtight container and last about 3 months, but like most liquids make sure to leave a gap in between the milk and the container’s lid as it tends to expand. A gap size between a 1/2 inch to an inch should be enough room.   ## How To Introduce Coconut Milk Into Your Life   Coconut milk is one of those amazing things in life that you can discreetly substitute in your everyday foods. For starters, you can try using it in these dishes: - Cereal - Smoothies - Frozen Yogurt - Curry - Oatmeal - Soups ### Want to try some other alternative dairy recipes to make at home?

Regardless of what I focus on, my main goal has always been to improve a person’s wellbeing and putting a smile on their face in the process. Food has always been and will always be a big part of my life. Growing up in NYC and being first-generation has truly been an incredible influence in my life. I’ve experienced so many different cultures in such a small amount of time, it has only made me appreciate the world that much more. When I’m not busy with work or school, I’m playing around with my Grandma’s old recipes or lounging with a book on the beach, completely disconnected. Life is all about the little moments and what better way to enjoy them than with a stomach full of goodness and a glowing tan.
