Hi! I know this post is from years ago but hoping you’ll get this! I am looking to fortify my own nut milk at home but I cannot figure out how many capsules to put in for the whole recipe. Do you have the quantities of the supplements that you use for your almond milk recipe that is linked here? Thanks so much!

This is AMAZING. I am pregnant with #2, have enjoyed making my own almond milk but was worried I haven’t been getting enough calcium in my diet. So I started buying Silk from the store (at least it doesn’t have carrageenan) but hate having to buy processed anything when I don’t really want to. I then started thinking, couldn’t I just fortify it myself? I did a search and your blog came up. Thank you SO much for this! This is a game changer :)

I’d say 5 days to a week but I’m not sure, it never lasted more than 3-4 days around our house! ;-)

Hello to another Portland vegan mama!
I know this post is older, but I was wondering how long this recipe keeps in the fridge for?
thanks!

Hi Sierra -
I know this is late but I thought I would chime in. One of the reasons that coconut helps loose weight is because its a laxative. Having lived in a culture that uses it on a daily bases I can testifie of this…though I didn’t loose weight….bummer! From what I know of coconut oil is that it’s great for getting the fats without the laxative effect (as long as you’re not REALLY loading up on it) It’s the milk and other forms of coconut that can cause the problem. When we put our son on coconut milk we foud it really made for some crazy diapers so we switched to oil and he has done fine. I don’t know if this helps at all. I’d love to hear how the fortified milk goes with your kids! Good luck!

I am answering this way late, so I hope you get it! But re: coconut oil as a weight loss stimulant, I have definitely heard this. It’s said to increase your metabolism and it’s promoted by a certain sect of folks as a weight-loss supplement. I’m not sure what to think of that, honestly. I feel like I don’t lose weight when I add more coconut oil, but I don’t necessarily gain it either. But it’s so dang good for you – and for growing babies – that I wouldn’t think you should cut it out completely. Can you just focus on avocados and nut butters as a primary fat source, and lower the amount of coconut? Then you could see if there’s any effect.

Good luck! I’d love to hear if there’s any update on this.

Nope, it doesn’t change the flavor at all!
