    What better way to enjoy the benefits of Coconut Oil than in a tasty and nutritionally balanced high-protein vegan smoothie?

    Coconut

    Coconut is loaded with MCT fat. In fact, per 100g of raw coconut meat contains 33g of fat.

    MCT or medium chain fats are absorbed more rapidly in your body and used for energy and may in fact help you lose excess body fat. 

    Not only does MCT help promote weight loss, it can help your brain by providing a steady source of fuel in the form of ketones.
