You could use coconut oil but it may leave chunks of coconut oil in the milkshake. MCT oil will blend smooth.

All of the peanut butter we use usually only contains peanuts and salt. Try your best to avoid added sugars in it.

Really happy to hear that you liked it! Milkshakes used to be a favorite in our house 🙂

I hope so – and I hope you like the other recipes! I’ve used guar gum instead of xanthan in many recipes and been pretty successful. I hope you find it the same way.

Glad to hear you liked it Janice! I haven’t read the comparisons on Bob’s Red Mill site, but I’m not sure about all of them. Xanthan gum is commonly used in cold ingredients (especially ice cream – it’s one of the most popular additions). I’ll have to look into it more, but generally speaking and from my experience, you can use xanthan or guar gum interchangeably (2x more guar than xanthan) in most recipes.

20g isn’t so bad, so don’t fret too much about it. I use So Delicious brand – but you have to make sure yours is unsweetened. Silk does sell a brand that is less (unsweetened), but So Delicious brand seems to be the lowest that I can find easily. Sometimes it’s not refrigerated, so you have to check the Asian section.

OMG this is delicious! I made it exactly as instructed. After dinner I was entering in my last meals macro’s for the day and realized I was only at 430 calories for the day and way low on my fat gram goals but at 8 carbs which I where I like it to be around. So I decided to make these for my husband and I. Unfortunately I didn’t check the carb count on my coconut milk until after I finished drinking it. My milkshake totaled 12 carbs, putting me at 20 carbs for the day. (Oh No!)
What brand of coconut milk do you use? Yours lists 1 carb, my brand is Silk original coconut milk and lists 80 calories per cup and 7 carbs. Can brands really differ than much?
Thanks!

In reply to Susanne Lee. Yeah it is rather energizing - the medium chain triglycerides are converted directly to ketones in the liver (which gives that effect).

I was just thinking about the MCT oil – I recently bought some but haven’t used it much. Is it like regular coconut oil, in that it is rather ‘stimulating’ or energizing (which means I only use it in the morning?)
