coconut ecstacy

[cashewy]

wow....i'm just experimenting adding cocnut to my diet....butter, oil, flakes

i swear it makes me euphoric!!! has anyone else experienced this?
xox cashewy

[bunnybunny]

YES! Just the tiniest sprinkle of shredded coconut can literally transform certain dishes that it's like having a Hawaiian party in my mouth!

[Smileen]

Yes, when I drink coconut water. Nirvana.

mm i'm a coconut fan myself :) it's absolutely amazing in my chocolate smoothies!!! :p

After i finish my juicing today when I feel hungry I am going to have a whole raw young coconut with the milk as a mini meal and then when hunger returns have a couple of avocadoes and see if I can replace the nuts & seeds with those.

Know exactly what you mean, both times I have eaten/drank from a young coconut I was on cloud 9 for several hours. Giddy almost...even my beagle loves it!!!

I'm really good to myself. I get a baby white coconut and use the water and meat to make a raw cocoa drink that's outta this world! Who needs illegal drugs with this enzyme buzz!:D

[cashewy]

hey ez rider...I've been kind of experimenting with that same thing.
trying to use flax and coconut fats and eliminate the whole cashewy craziness....but really when I am working a full day I find myself missing the protein energy I get from nuts

the first half of the month I was doing all raw veggies/seaweeds/non-sweet fruits with only cashews and pumpkin seeds for fat...I really liked the idea of not eating anything that was not in its whole form ie.not even packaged oils

I ate the cashews and pumpkin seeds....abundantly..... and still lost 5lbs
all other nuts seemed hard to digest

now after a family visit and adding the other oils I am back up!!!! and my energy is back down.....:(

the coconut might be hard to shelf but i'm thinking about going back to the nuts and seeds...

let me know how you do!

[RAWk Angel]

I love them and my friends think I am nuts when I tell them how rawesome coconuts make me feel :D

[SmilingRawDancer]

I could LIVE on coconuts. Don't tempt me!
And they come pretty cheap at my asian market...oohh a coconut fast....haha

[tinystrawberry]

i reallly realllllly love coconut water but i can't seem to take the coconut meat :confused: it's too strong for me

[Stina]

So, apparently it's the electrolytes that gets us hippy-happy. Hey, save that meat for some raw desserts or maybe toss it in a green smoothie.

Also notice a difference when I use the coconut oil on my skin.

I like to put the young coconut water into the blender and then put the young coconut meat in there and blend em up. Works for me. :)
