This is a compensated review from BlogHer and So Delicious®.
I was compensated for this review, but all the opinions reflected on this blog are my own. You know how honest I am about EVERYTHING on this blog! Read my race recaps, and you will find that out if you haven’t noticed already.
As you all know, I try to stay away from dairy most of the time since it does a number on my stomach. I’m always trying to figure out how to make my meals sans dairy.
The hubs and I are big proponents of non-GMOs. We try to buy the least amount of genetically modified foods as possible, and that can be very difficult sometimes.
I’m also gluten intolerant. I sound high maintenance, don’t I? haha. I am. I admit it.
You can imagine that I was quite delighted when I was chosen to be part of the So Delicious Program through Blogher. Visit their Official site! I don’t promote things on my blog very often unless I believe in the product AND it fits my lifestyle.

As part of their program, I was sent a coupon for a free half gallon of their coconut milk and an 8-pack of their vanilla milk singles.
This is their product information:
Life should be a delicious adventure. So at So Delicious ® Dairy Free, we’re committed to making dairy-free natural foods that celebrate great taste.
Like our So Delicious Coconut Milk. Smooth and creamy, with a light, refreshing taste, it’s rich in MCFAs. Medium-chain fatty acids are a good fat and provide the energy you need to live life to the fullest.
- Dairy-Free
- Soy-Free
- Cholesterol-Free
- Gluten-Free
- Made from Organic Coconut
- Kosher
- Vegan
- Certified Non-Gmo
- Naturally Energizing
- Tastes Just Like Milk—Only Better!
That is a long list of good things especially for people with “high maintenance” intolerances and/or preferences. And what other dairy-free milk can you say all those things about?? Keep reading, this giveaway is GOOD!!
So, for the past week, I have been trying out the So Delicious Coconut Milk in different ways. So far I have:
1.Poured it in my cereal (less slimy than my normal almond milk)

2. Combined the Vanilla coconut milk and a scoop of my protein powder as a post workout recovery drink
3. Made my oatmeal with it!! Really creamy, and when I topped it with coconut butter I felt like I was off in the Caribbean somewhere rather than in 20 degree weather in Spokane.
4. Substituted the milk that was called for my peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for the So Delicious Coconut Milk. I could not tell the difference, and they tasted great like they always do. I paired them with a glass of the coconut milk as well. Great for cookie dipping!
5. Hot Chocolate!!!!! My husband, a long time organic whole “cow” milk drinker, drank some too, and he ACTUALLY LIKED it!! Victory!
6. Combined 1 Vanilla Coconut Milk Single and 1 cup of regular coconut milk with 2 cups of mixed frozen berries and 1 scoop of protein powder in the blender for my post “butt kicking” track workout recovery drink / dinner. It was late. I was tired. A shake was easy, and the good fats from the Coconut Milk and the protein I added filled me up. And it actually tasted good. That’s always a plus.

7. Added a splash to my Chai Tea the other day with my afternoon snack. It added just enough creaminess to the tea without making me heavy after drinking it.

I don’t drink milk or use soy. Since we do so well with coconut oil, I would try this for making pudding and just drinking it since I am at a loss without milk. Bet it would be yummy!

I have tried this milk and it is a great sub for cow’s milk, especially in baking! I did not really like it to drink straight, but I cooked with it and did not notice any difference!

I would let my girls use it for cereal and I would give it to my youngest in the morning with her medicine. Thank you!!
scott March 20, 2011 at 8:59 am
I think this coconut milk would be great to use in deserts as a substitute for soy or almond milk, expecially for those with soy/nut allergies. I tried the plain unsweetened version and was not too impressed with it as a beverage but really want to try the sweetened chocolate and vanilla versions now!

I would use it instead of water to make my oatmeal.
Aaron B from IL March 20, 2011 at 12:47 pm
I will probably mostly use coconut milk just for normal drinking. I have never tried coconut milk at all but I like trying new foods when I can find them at the grocery store.
