Marlene’s Healthy Habits: Why You Should Try Coconut Milk

My son asked me to buy him coconut milk, so I decided to try it myself.  And I like it!  Maybe you will too.

Be sure to get the unsweetened.  It's mild in flavor, but it's got a nice hint of coconut.  S-w-e-e-t...even without the added sugar.  Trust me.  You don't need it (the sugar, that is).  And the brand I got is FREE!  Well,it wasn't actually free, but it was free of dairy,soy, gluten, lactose, cholesterol, eggs, casein, and MSG.  And it's full of vitamins and minerals, like calcium (50% more than dairy milk) , vitamin A, vitamin B-12 and vitamin D.  Those are good letters to have in your body!

Watching calories??  No problem.  Unsweetened coconut milk has only 45 calories per serving.  So it's OK to be a little nuts for coconut milk.  Next time you're in the grocery store, say Aloha to coconut milk.  :)
