TM now also makes a Coconut coffee creamer! I’m hoping WF Devon PA will start stocking it soon!

Can this be purchased in the Toronto store or is it available only in the USA?

I have cut out soy milk and rice milk from my diet and am stuck with only almond milk. I would like a little more variety.

I am allergic to milk so I went to soy for about 10 years. But now I have developed allergic reactions to soy that are severe enough to make me eliminate it from my diet even in trace amounts. I have always loved So Delicious soy ice cream and recently lately have been eating their coconut milk ice cream and love it too! (Although they do need to add more variety of flavors in the coconut milk product.)

I dislike rice milk with a passion and since I’ve cut out soy, I really miss being able to have a refreshing bowl of cereal in the morning with ice cold “milk”. But mostly, I terribly miss my beloved soy lattes! I have tried almond milk and tolerate it because was the only alternative, but can’t say that I’m at all very fond of it.

I can’t wait to try this product. Based on their coconut milk ice cream, I already know it will be great. (Thinking of making a special trip to whole foods this evening just to get it.) I will report back to you with the results!

Well, I tried the Coconut Milk Kefir, and all I can say is WOW! It is fantastic. I have to admit I have only tried the “Original” variety (don’t like sugar and have never purchased pre-flavored, or sweetened cultured milk products), so I can’t speak for the other two. I buy it by the case and use about one bottle a day. Initially it gave me some discomfort and intestinal bloating (as would the introduction of any high concentration of probiotic food), but that has since subsided. This is truly a life enhancing product for me. Thank you to the folks at Turtle Mountain for creating it, and to Whole Foods for carrying it, and for offering the 10% case discount.

I have been working on transitioning to a Vegan diet for about a year now. I haven’t missed cheese and other dairy, but cow’s milk was the thing I just couldn’t do without. Soy and other grain- or nut-based milks just weren’t cutting it (aftertaste, watery…), and I didn’t expect much from Coconut milk, either. But WOW! This is amazing! I put “unsweetened” in my coffee and it is wonderful! None of the issues I’ve had with other non-dairy “milks”. I’m eager to try the coconut milk Kefir and will be looking for it at my local WFM. With Coconut milk and Kefir, my transition to Vegan will finally be complete.

I got carried away the first time I tried Coconut milk based ice cream and ate the entire pint. I then developed the same symptoms I had years ago with milk – terrible gas and horrible dia—–!!

I found this at whole foods after realizing that even lactaid free milk I can’t tolerate. Soy is out of the question too as is Rice milk because of soy and wheat allergies. This milk is DELICIOUS! The weird thing is I do not like coconut itself, but I love this milk. I can finally have cereal again and not worry about the physical reaction. To top it off, this is only 1 carbohydrate, and for a diabetic that is a dream come true. The health benefit is a definite plus. I live so far away from the Market that carries the milk that I am trying to see if I can get my local health food market to start ordering some. Thanks Turtle Mountain for looking out for the rest of us.

We love the Turtle Mountain coconut milk products! I was so excited to see the coconut milk in the refrigerated case. My daughter is allergic to milk and is breastfed, which means I have to avoid dairy as well. We tried this and it is delicious! It is actually the only milk alternative my daughter will drink.

I was absolutely thrilled to find the So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage at my local Whole Foods store. I’ve been a vegan for about five years (and vegetarian prior to that). I am much healthier now than I was a decade ago when I was 20 years old, due to changing my diet from the Standard American Diet. Other non-dairy beverages have been usable, but just ho-hum. This beverage rocks! I love the taste, consistency and availability of the beverage. It fits right in with eating a low-fat, plant-based whole foods diet of fruit, vegetables, whole-grains and legumes. I’m light and healthy. My total cholesterol is 119. A healthy lifestyle diet works if you learn how to do it right! YEAH!

I was very excited to try this milk because of the health benefits and I tried the original and I thought it was not good. My cereal tasted gross and I could barely eat it. I did put it in my coffee and that’s about the only way I can drink it. I may try the vanilla but I was disappointed because it was so expensive and it wasn’t enjoyable.
