DIY Coconut Milk

DIY Coconut Milk

  • For 2 cups of coconut milk.
  • 1 cup of shredded coconut or desiccated coconut.
  • 2 cups of hot water.
  • Boil 2 cups of water in a kettle.

Then in a blender add 1 cup of the coconut and pour in the hot water over the coconut. Set a timer for 5 mins to let the coconut rest in the hot water.

Once the 5 minutes are up, blend the coconut-water for 2 minutes on high speed.

The contents are hot so please be careful.

Open the lid of the blender and get a sieve and a wide mouth measuring jug. Pour the coconut mixture through the sieve, and press the remaining liquid with a spatula from the remaining coconut mixture. The liquid is your fresh coconut milk!

Stir the milk with a spoon. Let it cool or drink hot for a warm comforting drink. Add cacao powder if you want an instant hot chocolate!

Store in a glass jar and refrigerate. However it’s best to use it within one day as once it cools the coconut separates from the water. In that case, blend again and use.

Is there such a thing as super-food?

Dear Reader,
You will have noticed that I haven’t put many pictures of fruit and vegetables on my website. Albeit: I’ve pictures up of delicious desserts and flamboyant, fancy coffee!

Depending on the occasion, they all are superfoods! Fruit and veggies, cake and coffee. Super food can be subjective.

Yes. Of course wellness and well-being are all about eating whole foods first. The primary sources of nutrition that are always superfoods are those grown in the sun, soil and on trees; that have been made with the help of birds, butterflies and bees.

If you sign-up for coaching sessions for any of of the problems mentioned on the mind-map, natural superfoods are what you will be eating.
No doubt.

However food is medicine. The poison is in the dose. And we are more than just a body. Coaching through a Being-Well lens means knowing when to have your cake guilt-free, because I know how hard it is to make switches in your diet when you eat for health’s sake. Giving up on your daily biscuit at tea time can be depressing. It weighs on your mental health. It can even lead to a tantrum.

If you learn not to gratify your desires instantly, and know the occasions of when you can have creamy, dreamy pudding, then temptations won’t govern your mind. Our sessions together will help train your mind to be patient by recognising your triggers and eat with intention to heal.


Make sense?
