The superpowers of coconut

2. Coconut milk

Whether you’re dairy intolerant, vegan or simply want to expand your dietary repertoire, coconut milk, (which is made from the healthy fats found in the exotic nut) is the way forward. With its super-sweet flavour, the milk can be poured over breakfast cereals, whizzed into a smoothie with a handful of berries and a scoop of protein powder or simply enjoyed on its own.
