Here are some great points to know about this drink:
- Coconut Milk. Holy crap this is great stuff to substitute for milk. 1 cup of fat free skim milk = 86 calories. 1 cup of coconut milk = 45 calories. But wait, there’s more. Coconut milk is loaded with Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA’s.) This is a healthy fat that makes your thyroid produce a fat burning hormone. It boost you metabolism by 56% for up to 5 hours. Even cooler, it reduces blood sugar surges by 58%.
