I want to substitute cows milk for coconut milk, but I'm a bit confused as to what I should buy? I'm talking about milk I could have on breakfast cereal, as well as to drink - not to cook with.

Thanks.

This is what you want...and I'm pretty sure it's not the same as coconut water...

If you have a large supermarket nearby you will probably be able to buy it there. Certainly coconut milk is available in cartons.
I've just googled, it's called coconut water.

That's definitely not on the list, Craft :-(

It'll be a new one for me.... drinking it without all the bits of coconut skin in it!

Thank you :-)

I've just gone onto Tesco's website, and they sell coconut water in cartons. Perfect!
coconut water on cereal? i wouldn't. i love drinking it but its just water, coconut flavoured... and its clearish

See, this is where my confusion is. Coconut milk, or coconut water? (on cereal/fruit)

coconut milk in tins is quite thick and creamy and usually used for cooking indian dishes. You can get light coconut milk in a tin, which I guess is just watered down. Coconut milk is very fattening. Other dairy - free options are rice milk and oat milk- which you can get in any supermarket. Alpro do almond milk and it tastes nothing like almonds.

Thank you Pasta. I've found that one in Tescos, and it's only 2% fat - so definitely the one I want. Thankyou :-)

Scarlett, thank you also. I will give the almond milk a try, too.
For your breakfast cereal, try a fruit juice in stead of milk, makes a nice change and theres lots of flavours

Thanks Chris :-)

Right. 'Milk' update: Well, it arrived and I've had it in my tea/coffee. So far so good. It didn't taste anything like I thought it would, and didn't even smell of coconuts (???) but more like a watered down milk. It was absolutely fine, and I'll be having it on my 'cereal' in the morning.
Thanks for all the help - it's much appreciated.
