Notes

Coconut milk is rich in MCTs, healthy fats that are beneficial for heart health and provide jet fuel for the body and brain. In addition to being a healthy, delicious, and satisfying alternative to dairy milk, coconut milk is thick enough to substitute for heavy cream in sauces, soups, and stews.
