Can you have coconut milk on Whole30

Finding Whole30 approved Coconut Milk Brands can be super tough for a few reasons. You have to find one with NO sweeteners or carrageenan… those two ingredients are in the bulk of most coconut milk brands.

This blog post is entirely dedicated to the drinkable Coconut Milk, not canned coconut milk that we use in place of cream in a lot of recipes (that blog post is coming, too!). If you want another alternative, my Whole30 Approved Almond Milk post is one of the most popular posts on my entire site, and it’s packed with helpful info!

What is the official rule when it comes to Whole30 Approved Coconut Milk?

As long as the ingredients in your coconut milk are compliant, then that coconut milk is Whole30 compliant.

Here is the “Tip” about Almond Milk in my favorite Whole30 Book simply called “The Whole30,” and I think it’s applicable here.

Tip: Nuts and seeds aren’t your best fat choice, in general, and drinking your food is always less healthy than eating it. So when it comes to almond milk, even if you make your own… we’d rather you just eat the almonds once in awhile!

I think the same tip applies here. Generally, for satiety and a few other reasons, eating your food is always preferred to drinking it. I think the same could be said about eating a coconut instead of drinking almond milk. But, there could be times we want to sit down with a glass of coconut milk, so I want to provide you with a list of Whole30 Approved Coconut Milk Brands and Where to Find them to make it as easy as possible for you!

What to Look For to find Whole30 Compliant Coconut Milk Brands

We’re looking for as few ingredients as possible! All Whole30 Compliant Coconut Milk will be labeled as “unsweetened.” Some are also listed as “Carrageenan free” as well.

What to Avoid in Coconut Milk

We’re trying to avoid all sweeteners (look in the ingredients themselves, NOT the nutrition label), carrageenan, soy lecithin, and sulfites [sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfate, potassium metabisulfite].

Additives you may find in Coconut Milks that are compliant: 

Acacia Inulin, Agave Inulin, Calcium Carbonate, Acacia Gum, Gellan Gum, Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavors, Niacin, Potassium Chloride, Riboflavin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Nitrite, Sodium Nitrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Zinc Gluconate.

First, let me explain that Whole30 Approved is a label trademarked by the Whole30. Brands can become officially Whole30 Approved, and use the Whole30 Approved label on their products to help consumers like us know when a product is trusted by the Whole30 team.

That being said, there is not a single Coconut Milk Brand that has the official “Whole30 Approved” status.

Now, before you freak out, there are a LOT of Whole30 Compliant coconut milk brands, and I’m sharing those below!
