The coconut milk will be in the Asian food section of WalMart of any other store. I had a similar problem finding the milk and egg protein powder but finally found it in a health food store.

I can't find unsweetened coconut where I am either. I see you're from Tennessee so maybe it's just not used much in the south. I looked for milk and egg protein too but so far no luck.

Me, a skeptic? I trust you have proof.

My unsweetened coconut is Bob's Red Mill brand which I found at Whole Foods. You can order Bob's Red Mill products on their website if you can't find them locally.

Sorry, I read it wrong. I thought you wanted coconut milk.

I found unsweetened coconut in a health food store. It helps to visit all of the ones you have nearby--I can't find everything at any one store.

I finally found unsweetened coconut in the frozen food section at Publix.

I happened upon milk and egg protein at my local health store.

I couldn't find unsweetened coconut either, so I just bought a coconut, peeled it and put it through a food processor. Not exactly like shredded coconut, and peeling it was kind of a pain, but hey, I had coconut!

And as far as the milk and egg protein, until I found it I substituted whey protein powder. It worked just fine in Sharron's recipe for Pumpkin Granola. You can find this at Walmart in the pharmacy section.

HTH!

Kroger's also has the milk and egg protein powder, located in health food section by the soy powders.

Take care~

What do you use the milk and egg protein powder for? Do you use it to sub flour? I did see it at our Kroger store.

Well, I've checked the kroger store here, and they don't have either. Susan I'm going to copy the numbers you posted in the other thread and take them to my Kroger. I did find braggs liquid aminos at kroger, also noticed that the almond meal was less expensive there than at the hfs.

hmmm, and I was just going to let you know I found both here at my Kroger too (and the US coconut is Kroger brand I believe)!! They should be able to get it in for you. If you need any help, let me know.
