FAQ

Can I use regular coconut milk instead of full-fat organic?

Regular coconut milk may have added sugars or preservatives, so full-fat organic is better for clean eating.

Is avocado oil the best choice for this recipe?

Yes, avocado oil is a clean, unrefined oil. Avoid seed oils like canola or vegetable oil.

Can I substitute the sea salt with something else?

Organic sea salt is preferred for its natural minerals. Avoid iodized salt with additives.
