Loco Over Coco

Whenever we are in our home base Santiago, we have pure buko juice as our water. So when the sourcing of products for Organika brought my attention to non dairy coco milk and ice cream, i lost no time in trying it out.

For several days I conjured the taste and texture of the coco milk in my senses. Initially, I thought coco milk...gata. It was explained that the coco milk derived is the one where the virgin coconut oil is removed, so you don't have that VCO taste. It is chemical free and healthy for us.

Yesterday, I had their ice cream as dessert and brought home coco milk. This morning, after my wheatgrass juice, I had to have the first taste of my non dairy, low fat coco milk.

HEAVEN for me. The sweet buko juice is there, creaminess with a hint, or ok...a slight taste of gata. It is coco milk, it should taste like coconut :) Refreshing, creamy....sarap. You don't have that aftertaste associated with the VCO.

I will definitely have this in my Organika roster.

  1. Hello Solraya! Yes, coco milk is an excellent substitute for dairy milk, particularly for the lactose-intolerant ones.

    I, for one, wouldn't mind the VCO aftertaste. Coco milk ice cream? Deliciously healthy! :-)

    Just my two cents.

  2. Yikes, did I say I give the impression it was the VCO taste I didn't like? Maybe I was just thinking for others :) Sometimes, it is that oily bulk that's hard to swallow.

    But, I love the gata taste :)

    And yes, I tried to fill out your contact form, it didn't accept me. Maybe it was my connection that day.
