I use French Vanilla Nut Pods, almond and coconut milk. Yummy!

They’re in the refrigerator section in the grocery store. No sugar and creamy too.

Straight, organic coconut milk is best. The sunflower/safflower oils in all of the other nut milk products., and other products, HIGHLY inflammatory. It's the ALA.

I just looked at the box again, it does have Sunflower Lecithin. Also, I do know that almond skin has lectins which are inflammatory.

Straight organic coconut milk is too thin for me, so sometimes I will whip up organic canned coconut, but it's really high in calories.

Such a dilemma, Maybe I should just go back to tea! I resisted coffee for years, my husband is a fiend for black coffee so I finally gave in 10 years ago, 25+ years into the relationship, lol!

Still resisting after 30 years! 😂🤣

My whole family for years has been trying to lure me "to the dark side" as my sister calls it. Mr. "the Knife" tried to pull a fast one about 15 years ago: He asked me if I would like a hot chocolate, to which I responded, "yes, please!" When I took a sip, the flavor of coffee was awful.

Me: "Why did you put coffee in my cocoa?"

Him: "I put a teaspoon in, how can you even taste that?"

Me: "I haven't ruined my taste buds with all the hot sauces, like you have!"

He still offers me coffee from time to time and I still say, sometimes with a shudder, "No thank you!!"

Mrs. "the Knife"

P.S. It is all in good fun - he brings me tea and I fill his thermos with coffee for work every day!

That’s so funny Mrs. TK. You’ve done a good job of resisting the drink of darkness 😉

Have a great Sunday, I see there’s a special C&C, I better get to it!

I use canned coconut milk. Yes, calorically, it is high, but, it's good fat-derived calories. Plus, it's only a couple of tablespoons. In addition, coconut is naturally anti-microbial. Try to make sure it is in a BPA-free can- yet another hurdle to jump!

Yes, you are right, I used to use it all the time but we RV a lot and fridge storage is tough, small, and sometimes we’re off grid and can’t whip up a new batch so I guess I just got in the habit of the store bought. Definitely BPA free.

I feed my doggies and kitties canned pumpkin and make sure that’s also Bpa free! Thanks for the input, reminders are good.

Do you follow Gundry or Mercola, or ??? Someone who doesn’t try to sell you stuff every minute?
