​​Benefits of Coconuts

Coconuts are incredibly nutrient-dense and versatile:
• Coconut Meat: Rich in healthy fats and dietary fiber, it supports energy levels and digestion.
• Coconut Water: A hydrating beverage packed with electrolytes and potassium.
• Coconut Jelly: Soft and smooth, this layer of young coconut is high in antioxidants and adds texture to recipes.

Coconuts are naturally gluten-free, lactose-free, and packed with vitamins and minerals like magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C.

Why Add Probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms that promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Adding probiotics to your diet can:
• Improve digestion.
• Enhance nutrient absorption.
• Boost immunity.
• Support mental health by influencing the gut-brain axis.

When we ferment coconut yogurt, we combine the nutritional benefits of coconuts with the digestive advantages of probiotics. This 24- to 48-hour fermentation process creates a tangy, creamy yogurt that’s great for your gut and taste buds.

​Why This Recipe is Perfect

This Thai-inspired coconut yogurt is creamy, tangy, and packed with natural goodness. It’s vegan, dairy-free, and loaded with gut-friendly probiotics that enhance your digestion and overall wellness. Plus, you can easily customize it to your taste preferences!  Not sure how to open a coconut? See My "Open A Coconut With Ease" Video.
