Coconut Milk!

Happy Sunday!  Just had to share this product I just tried after a nice long walk with my dog on this warm morning!  I think this made my smoothie the best it's ever been so for those of you wanting to try coconut milk in your smoothies here is a good one to try:  Trader Joe's Original Unsweetened Coconut Milk.  I love that it's in this half gallon container and you can keep it cold in the fridge!  Inexpensive and for people who cannot tolerate dairy (I am dairy sensitive and right now with the pollen going up I have a tough time with the yogurt I love to use) and might be tired of rice milk - a great change.  The coconut is often overlooked because of the fat it contains.  But there are some great benefits to using coconut.  The serving size of one cup contains 3 g of medium chain fatty acids - which is a natural source of energy that is readily metabolized faster than long chain fatty acids.  Helps support metabolism!

Enjoy your coconut milk ...

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
