Roland Coconut Milk, Classic, 14 Ounce (Pack of 24)

I purchased this case of coconut oil from Amazon and this review is no reflection about them, it is more directed at the company Roland. I was exited to get this product and when it did come, it was in Roland's Box which was then inside of Amazon's box. So I realized that Roland's has their product already packed for Amazon to ship. After opening the box, all cans were dented and none were in good shape. I had to throw out 6 of the 24 cans because some of the dents were far more severe then the rest. With that said, I need to express how wonderful this milk is to use for smoothies and cooking. It has an amazing flavor with full fat. I lost 6 pounds since using it, without changing a thing in my diet or exercise. I use it for cooking veggies and in pancakes etc. But most of all I use it in my smoothies. I take one can which is 14 Oz and then pour in a quart mason jar, then I fill the remainder of the space up with purified water. It works out to 1/2 cup of milk equals 100 calories and about 1 Tablespoon of Oil fat from the coconut. I thought this was important because in Fife's book it is recommended that adults take approximately 3 Tablespoons a day for most weights and for very petite persons it is about 2 1/2 Tablespoons a day. So with that said, I use 1/2 cup of coconut milk in two separate smoothies a day which gives me 2 Tablespoons and then I cook with coconut oil to get the remainder that I need to get my quota or I use it directly on my skin. I feel totally different and I literally feel my cells coming to life.. My daughter suffers from horrible cycle pains of her monthly and after taking this for only 3 weeks her next cycle she was nearly pain free, It is truly a miracle for she suffered from disabling pain for years now and nothing helped her.I truly recommend this product, I also recommend Coconut Oil from Nutiva (extra virgin) for it is the purest one I have found yet on the market.For me I use it for my gallbladder issues. It has saved me much pain for I cannot take in any type of dairy or meats of any kind. I am trying to dissolve my stones by myself rather then opting for operation which can cause so many problems after surgery, not to mention the gallbladder has more uses then what is normally stated by docs.. Anyway, I use the coconut milk as 1/2 cup then add water to the blender to bring to the 8oz mark and then add 5 ice cubes. After this I add 1/2 cup raw organic beets cut up and then 1 cup of cucumbers, both these are amazing for gallbladder problems but not just that, they are amazing to cleanse your liver as well. Then I add 1 cup or more of greens to the blender, and 1/2 banana, a few cherries, or 1/2 strawberries, 5 blueberries, 5 blackberries or other berries, and any other veggie I can think of and blend with a Dr.Mercola Miracle Whey which has medium chained fatty acids just like coconut milk and wow, it is so delicious and what a way to get your veggies in... Dr.Mercola's products have no sugar but use of stevia..Anyway, I feel totally different and could not live without this stuff..If ONLY Roland's would find a way to have the product shipped to them without the damage of the cans.. This is a dangerous thing, for poisoning could take place. I'm sure its in the travel that it takes to get here to the U.S but their cans just roll around in the box, there is no padding what so ever.. So I guess I am saying that a person must realize they will or could lose more then a half dozen cans when it gets to you.. Someone should talk to the company about this. Other then that I think this product is much better then any other coconut milk on the market and I still do recommend it highly.

In spite of the fact that there are some ten syllable words in along with this coconut milk, and in spite of the fact that one can equals 650 calories(!), it is the least expensive way to go for coconut milk, if you have Amazon Prime. The application I plan to use it for mostly is some ice cream. I've only made one batch so far, but I feel like I've died and went to heaven after eating the Strawberry/Vanilla/Coconut ice cream I made with this stuff yesterday, and I probably will die and hopefully go to heaven because there must be at least a million calories per serving, but what do they say about everything in moderation:~) I just substituted the coconut milk for the regular milk called for in the recipe and let me tell you......THIS IS THE RICHEST AND CREAMIEST ICE CREAM I'VE EVER TRIED!, it is sooooo silky, not a trace of ice crystals to be found anywhere, and the coconut flavor does come through. For a once in a while indulgence, use your favorite Vanilla ice cream recipe and use this stuff instead of the regular milk and....... knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door........ I also plan on baking up some Coconut Milk bread here shortly, will get back with comments when I do.P.S. At least half of the 24 cans came dented, so much so, that I dare not even chance using them, but I went to fill out an exchange form and found a link where I could get live phone help with this problem. I filled in my phone number, I clicked the link, and I swear to god, I got a return call in under 10 seconds!!! And..... they are sending replacement cans by two day UPS, what great service!

My family drinks a lot of coconut milk (about a can a day) and we have tried almost every brand out there. This one tastes OK, but contains more preservatives than any other we have tried. Unfortunately the ingredients are not listed here so I wasn't able to find that out until after my case arrived.For the price this Roland brand isn't a bad deal but I would recommend Chaokoh or  Natural Value Coconut Milk, 14-Ounce Containers (Pack of 12)  over this one. Natural Value has no fillers or preservatives and tastes great which means it is perfect for making healthy coconut yogurt with the  Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker . If you haven't tried making coconut yogurt yet I highly recommend it!A lot of people are still under the impression that Coconut milk is bad for you. There was some faulty research done years ago on hydrogenated coconut oil which is mostly to blame for this. If you are one of those people that still think coconut is bad I recommend reading  The Good Fat Cookbook  to help set the record straight.
