<p>They taste pretty terrible to me, other than their unsweetened coconut milk ice cream (although has sugar alcohols I think). I've tried their unsweetened coconut milk multiple times, and also their coconut 'kefir'. I was so excited by the concept but both taste tasteless and strangely artificial/gummy/cardboardy. I feel like I'm the only person I've heard not like it (along with Trader Joe's coconut milk--that stuff is icky too). Apologies if this is not an allowable question. Thanks.</p>

I mix mine with chocolate, sesame seeds, goji, pumpkin seeds, and myriad other ingredients... No sweetener as I'm a type II diabetic. </p>
<p>Having said that, I do know people who do not like the flavour of coconut. Everyone is different. I do feel badly for them since I believe coconut oil to be one of the most beneficial fats out there. </p>

I love anything coconut and was excited to see what it was like. I poured it on my cereal and noted it was gummy looking. I was so disappointed to find that it tasted like water. Really, really gross.</p>

I guess maybe that's why I sort of like it sometimes--it's less rich tasting/feeling than pure coconut milk, and sometimes I want something more bland. But I also think they over-thicken it, so that it's thicker than actual milk. I wish they'd leave it more watery in texture, in addition to it's watery flavor! And it does have good fat in it.</p>

Just starting out this is the only 'milk' product I've had, should I be buying it in the can (or lots of cans?). I don't mind the blandness b/c it kind of reminds me of Skim milk...</p>

I've tried several kinds of coconut milk and this one is my favorite!</p>

It was thick, chalky and disgusting. I'd rather have NOTHING on my cereal, but I like almond milk, rice milk or even organic soy better than that stuff. EWWW!</p>

It can also be stored in your freezer & most importantly for me, I can freeze the meals I prepare with this product. If you are allergic to nuts, this won't be for you.</p>
