Coconut Milk does a body good!

OH MY! Coconut milk, particularly the Coconut Milk Beverage by Turtle Mountain, is simple the creamiest, most delicious beverage out there. Non dairy, and rich in medium chain fatty acids, this milk is also good for you. A little pricey, but worth it. Here is a delicious smoothie recipe.

Strawberry-Mango Coconut smoothie

1 cup fresh organic strawberries, greens removed
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 - 2 cups coconut milk (I like the Turtle Mountain kind)
a few spinach leaves
1/8 tsp powdered multidophilus

Blend until smooth and serve in a chilled glass. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
