I used method two because I couldn't find a canned Organic BPA free coconut milk. It worked just like you said it would. ;) I noticed that without all the gums and junk it takes far less in my smoothie. And you were right again, it is the first coconut milk I have ever had that taste like, well coconut. Go figure. I saved the shreds and use them in my morning smoothie. I get all of that high nutrition value coconut and a little more flavor and texture. Thanks Food Babe! :)
Great video. Vani's coconut milk is delicious, and far superior to the frankenstein "coconut milk" offered by Starbucks. Why they're even allowed to call it coconut milk is a mystery.
I have to say.. I don't like coconut but this is actually pretty good! I used your organic shredded coconut method because I can't find organic manna or coconut canned milk locally. I have ordered them online because I want to try. Thanks so much for this video!
Curious why most other videos say we should Soak the Flakes in Warm to almost Boiling Water? And then we can dump that slushy mush into the blender, then wait for it to Cool before Straining into a container.
I would avoid the canned stuff, even if its one ingredient. Or canned anything. It may be BPA free, but they just replace it with another similar chemical thats just as bad. Its all business, they dont care about your health, just profits.
I about spit out my water when this video started, Food Babe using Carraggenan OMG what? LOL Thanks for sharing these such easy tips. I'm making the shredded coconut method today. :) ♡
My message is concerning Dairystar milk products. By accident I pick up their fat free Half & Half. And noticed I had the fat free container. Not what I wanted. So I looked at the Ingredients listed and was (shocked) 14 added ingredents. Needless to say I poured it down the sink. Please look in to this Thank you
just recently found that I have to stay away from almond milk. we always have canned coconut milk, and 1 can + 4 cups of h2o is great! I have a serious sweet tooth, so I added a tbsp of white sugar to the mix to give it a little boost. thank you!
Hi Vani! I hear the replacement for BPA free cans is titanium dioxide... which attacks the lining in your gut? Are you sure its good to recommend canned coconut milk? Thanks! Attila
Hi Attila! Wherecan I learn more abou tthe sideeffects of titanium dioxide? I am so worried about taking all those pills, creams containing titanium dioxide. I tried hard to find info but all I have found that it is safe, it travelles through your body having no side effect!!!!!
Hi , I can't promise it's bad for you but here is an article that can make you think. I don't find it difficult to avoid eating foods that contain it personally. We make coconut milk by blending coconut flakes and straining it here at home. nutritionfacts.org/2013/08/13/is-titanium-dioxide-in-food-harmful/
thank you. great idea for back up. I still like my fresh coconut. cracking is really easy for me. but his is great for others who don't have access to fresh coconut
Hopefully you paid royalties to the singers for using the songs in your video. Oh, and in case if you were wondering, I had ad blocker turned on, so you are not earning ad royalties out of me :P
Seriously? Seriously? I never knew it could be THAT easy not to mention actually save me money!!!! Thanks, Food Babe!!! :) :) :)

I eat that coconut manna straight out of the jar. Better than Ben & Jerry's. Thanks Food Babe for fighting the good fight!
I loved this video Vani. It is crazy the list of awful and unnecessary ingredients in those milks that are sold in supermarkets.

+evancohenstudio that totally confused me too...
evancohenstudio SCREAMING! U are hilarious...U have my stomach hurting! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tried this morning. So easy and so delicious! Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I make a smoothie everyday and use the box Almond Milk so I'm excited to try making my own coconut milk :)
Amazing. You are absolutely amazing Vani Hari.
I want to come over and see how immaculate your kitchen is : )
Good video, Vani... I'll skip the canned version, as many producers of cans / plastic are saying they are BPA-free, and instead they are using BPS...
Can't wait to try the first recipe Vani! Looks great, and much cheaper than store-bought coconut milk! Do you ever add stevia to sweeten it?
I would avoid the canned stuff, even if its one ingredient. Or canned anything. It may be BPA free, but they just replace it with another similar chemical thats just as bad. Its all business, they dont care about your health, just profits.
we are blessed by having coconuts on our trees

Love it. Was not paying attention and you freaked me out at the beginning.

Great video! I’m going to switch over tomorrow! 🙌

Attila Banhegyi Thanks a lot!
Loved the recipes and the format of the video
what brand of bag coconut do you use for the second method?
Love this, Vani. You're awesome.
I'm so glad you're posting more videos! Cant wait for more :)
How many 1 cup servings does the can method make?
Blend with dates and put a piinch of salt
thank you. great idea for back up. I still like my fresh coconut. cracking is really easy for me. but his is great for others who don't have access to fresh coconut
Where did you get that jar?
ok.. your method of using that strainer with teeny tiny holes is WAY easier than using and squeezing a nut milk bag!
Yay! What a great video! Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!!
Does this freeze well? 5 days is not much time....
Then buy milk from the store that will last you for months you can't have it both ways
utopiachild71 I freeze mine when I make it, thaw it whwn needed and it doesn't spoil. I also make almond milk and do the same thing.
great tutorial vid! Thanks! Gonna try my hand at this! Where did you get that shirt?? I want one!!!
Great ideas.
great recipes
Thanks for your channel
I'm lactose intolerant and hate the junk they sell in the store. thank you.
Wow. You just made me soooooo haaaaapy. Luva Ya. Thx.
What brand of canned coconut milk did you use?
Just about to jump the gun and say isnt' carageenan bad?
Problem is, I don't use that much milk. Only for my coffee. I use powder for that. Can you get powdered coconut milk?
Why would you add water to coconut milk to make what's already coconut milk?
maam can we have coconut milk in place of buffello milk . how is beneficial over cow or buffalo mink pls reply
Vijay Baleja She would reply if she knew the science, unfortunately, that is not the case ..
I wonder if I could use this to make bounty flavored milkshake
You are awesome 😍🤩 🥥🤤
Only way to avoid all the “natural flavors” is to actually crack open a coconut
more of that
Damn it Who wants coconut with water. Coconut milk will be free from water. Surprisingly cannot find coconut milk without "WATER".
I'm feeling a little brain-washed, stupid, small for not having thought of this.
lol@ :24
"Mr. Food Babe"...I'm heartbroken :-)
Are you desi
so you dont use a milk bag
She has beautiful Hair must be the coconut Oil etc.Plus she is a Beautiful looking Woman also.
No actual coconut milk was made. Came from can.
Hey i sent u dm on Instagram about the natural flavors its my name on there is Qiaobu_music
If people stomach Chinese food, people can eat pretty much anything and survive.
This video is literally teaching how to increase global warming by going undoing what an industrial process has already done.
are you aware of the chemicals like BPA and others inside of canned food??? That is a HUGE NO NO... Ask anyone...
Abner I guess you missed that part.
Hopefully you paid royalties to the singers for using the songs in your video.
Oh, and in case if you were wondering, I had ad blocker turned on, so you are not earning ad royalties out of me :P
MarianaLopezz awww
Who cares??
Bianca Cruz your food babe does care about it. ask her how much she earns out of her referral links for all the shitty products that she sells.
and speaking of shitty products, www.bevnet.com/news/2015/coke-investing-90-million-in-suja
fucking hilarious. take organic coconut milk, dilute it, then say you made coconut milk. good job.
