Keto Coconut Milk is best for anyone following a low-carb or ketogenic diet will love this easy and creamy dairy-free substitute. It is made with only two ingredients—water & unsweetened shredded coconut. It’s a great way to increase your consumption of fat while lowering your carbohydrate intake because coconut milk is naturally high in healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Coconut milk is utilized to make a lot of recipes like we use this milk to prepare curries, coffee, desserts, & shakes. Additionally, home-produced coconut milk is fresher and more affordable than store-bought varieties. It’s a practical choice for your keto diet because you can freeze it for extended storage or keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
