The best smoothie yet!
Coconut gets a fair share of bad press for being a little on the fattening side, but what many people don't know is that coconut milk contains those healthy fats you read about. It's primary claim to fame however is that it contains something called lauric acid which helps to strengthen your immune system. If that's not enough, it's dairy free for all of those who are lactose intolerant.
First thing; you need a blender and anyone serious about their nutrition absolutely must have one.

I bought that silver bullet hand blender but I think I'm going to need a proper full size blender. All these ingredients don't fit!! I bet you can even chop up fresh coconut and freeze it like the other fruit. I'll give it a go tomorrow after I go blender shopping. BTW thanks for the exercises for the knee, it's feeling a lot better.
