I tried canned coconut milk and it just didn't work well, but this stuff is wonderful! Borogove was the name of the coffee roasters, but they sadly stopped roasting :-( It was the best ever! Was the spinach in the hummus roasted? Blended in? or were there just pieces of spinach IN the hummus? Sounds yummy! As for the xylitol, yes some people do have trouble with it. There is also a lot of good talk about coconut sugar but I haven't gotten my hands on any yet. I have tried stevia, but I cannot seem to find a variety that doesn't have an odd after taste to me. I know it isn't a chemical, but it has an odd chemical taste to me. I am also glad you enjoyed the post. I will definitely post like this more often if it is something people like to see. My normal "everyday food" isn't as pretty as the recipes I usually post though, be warned! If you can find the So Delicious coconut milk you might give it a try.

What is a Borogove Latte? Yeah, I tried almond and hemp milk in my coffee. I just can't get over the ugly separation! And I like my coffee creamy. I have been doing the one can of coconut milk mixed with one can of coconut water thing, and trying to tell myself that it tastes like real cream. It seems like the only cream substitute they have at coffee houses is soy. Xylitol doesn't sit well with me. I get cramps and have to use the restroom. I use liquid stevia, and hope my body doesn't think I am eating sugar. If you work on a eggplant hummus recipe, will you also try a spinach hummas recipe? I used to buy that years ago, and now can't find it anywhere, and it was so great. I loved your post today; I like knowing what other people do and eat.

I am just so glad I found this stuff. I try to stay away from soy whenever possible. Though I am not perfect. I too wish I could drink my coffee black, but I can’t!

I'm wondering if there's any way to replicate that at home to make coconut milk creamer. I'll let you know if I come up with anything. :) Wish I wasn't so dependent on that nasty Silk creamer, but I just don't like coffee without milk.

That latte truly was amazing. I really miss that roasting company! I am SO grateful for So Delicious coconut milk. I was quite cranky when I only had the hemp milk option. I do hope that Mimicreme works as well, but the coconut milk also has a lot of benefit nutritionally so I am a happy camper! Let me know how you like the pudding. I am wondering if it would make a good frozen dessert as well. I know some people have frozen avocados, so I am curious to see if the whole pudding freezes well. I had to admit that the idea of a pudding pop is sounding really attractive to me today :-) Last night I topped my pudding with the famous <a href="http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/recipes/abu-aka-almond-butter-sauce/" rel="nofollow">ABU</a> though I make mine with 2 C. Almond milk and 1 C. almond butter (and no sweetener)...so it is a little more like the original <a href="http://curlytopbop.blogspot.com/2009/06/pbu-my-contribution-to-society-of-world.html" rel="nofollow">PBU</a> QUITE satisfying :-) I hope you enjoy it!
