Coconut Milk

As part of a healthy and varied diet, using coconut milk can be a great way to vary taste and fat intake. Coconut milk contains a type of saturated fat called medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which have been shown to benefit satiety, gut microbiome health, insulin sensitivity, and indirectly immune function and weight. For most people, moderate use of coconut oil can be a dairy-free alternative with some important health benefits. It’s important to vary your fat choices to include a wide variety of foods such as wild fish, raw nuts/seeds, olive oil, and avocado. Enjoy!
