Full Fat Coconut Milk = The Perfect Keto Ingredient

One of the best ingredients to cook with is full fat coconut milk. Full fat coconut milk is preferred over ‘light’ coconut milks because it contains all of it’s natural fatty acids. Lighter coconut milks are strained, being stripped of some of the nutrients from the healthy fats. Additionally, it’s an ideal milk for those looking for a milk free from dairy, soy or nuts.

Coconut milk allows you to use an amazing source of fats (coconuts) for cooking and baking some amazing treats. The keto-friendly components of coconut milk don’t stop at it’s high fat content — it also provides us with amazing health benefits, like helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol due to it’s abundance of lauric acid (a protective fatty acid). Lauric acid has antimicrobial properties, which make it a powerful fighter against viruses and bacterial infections.

Additionally, coconut milk also helps to build muscle and strength while reducing fatigue. The MCT’s (medium-chain triglycerides) in coconut milk are perfect for recovering from hard workouts due to their high electrolyte content of magnesium and potassium.

A Nutrient Powerhouse

Ghee is another ingredient made optional to add to this tasty treat.

Ghee recently surfaced as a highly nutritious food by the media, although it’s been used for thousands of years. By now, we all know it’s an amazing superfood, but what exactly is it?

Ghee is clarified butter. It’s cooked for a longer amount of time, removing the water component and milk fat. Ghee is often preferred to use when cooking instead of butter due to its higher smoke point of 450 degrees [*]. Also, ghee is suitable for many people who suffer from lactose intolerance because the cooking process results in only a minuscule amount of lactose left in the final product.

Like ghee, Perfect Keto Collagen can be added into almost anything. It’s versatility isn’t the only benefit though — it also provides MCT Oil powder to give you additional boost of nutrients.
