Today’s Tasty Tuesday is all about a tropical favorite that does more than just taste amazing, coconut!
Whether it’s coconut meat, water, milk or even unsweetened flakes, coconut delivers clean-burning, plant-based energy that fuels you without the crash.
Coconuts are rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), healthy fats your body uses quickly for energy instead of storing. This makes coconut a perfect ingredient when you need sustained focus, stamina and satiety.
Beyond energy, coconuts offer:
- Natural electrolytes for hydration
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Fiber to support digestion
- A creamy, satisfying texture without dairy or processed oils
Simple ways to enjoy coconut:
- Blend coconut milk in to Thai curry dishes.
- Add unsweetened shredded coconut to your oatmeal or energy bites
- Sip on pure coconut water post-workout for natural hydration
- Use coconut flakes in oil-free granola for crunch and flavor
Coconut proves that nature gives us everything we need, energy, nourishment and a little tropical flair.
Stay energized.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
