Coconuts seem to be all the rage these days! First it was the initial talk about coconut oil and all of its healing, energizing, weight-loss promoting properties. I have jumped on this band wagon and can attest to the added energy I have after literally adding only 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil into my daily smoothie. I have added 2 miles to my running route, increased weight in my lifting and overall feel more energized and awake every day.
Then I spied the coconut milk ice cream in the freezer section at Whole Foods. This is a DELICIOUS alternative to regular ice cream. Coconut milk has now been made into a new dairy milk alternative and surprisingly low in calories (80 calories per cup). That is definitely on my to-do list and will post on it as soon as I've sampled the stuff.
Today, I became aware of yet another new product that is made with coconut milk...and it looks very promising! Posted on the "hungry vegan" blog, they announced that there is now a Coconut Milk Kefir coming to the grocery store! Check out this posting which includes a delicious sounding smoothie recipe: Hungry Vegan
