Coconut Rice Pudding

This recipe is a healthier and tastier creamy version of a classic rice pudding.Coconut products are highly beneficial to the body and here's why:

▶︎ The fat in coconut is made up of MCT oils (medium-chain triglycerides) which are different from the fat we store on our body. This fat is metabolized differently than most dietary fats. It is highly utilizable for body energy functions.

▶︎ It can actually boost your metabolism and help you to lose weight!

▶︎ Although coconut is a saturated fat - it is a different form than animal fat and is always free of cholesterol.

▶︎ Coconut fats are great for cooking because they don't oxidize with heat, as many other liquid vegetable oils do.

▶︎ Coconut milk is a great alternative to dairy! Great quality fats with no lactose or cholesterol!
