This drawing is entitled "Coconut Dreams"... it took me a sec to get it, but gave me a chuckle when I finally did. :) What I wouldn't give for my new favorite night time crunchy snack right about now!? Coconut is so good for you, yet it isn't on protocol. So my recently acquired habit of buying 2 coconuts every few days (& my kids' hysterical laughter at my efforts to find the easiest way to crack one... it's seriously a show they gather to watch around here) must wait for another month or so.
Young coconuts are the bees knees! They aren't found at most grocery stores, but are worth the trek to Whole Foods or (if you're lucky enough to have one in your area) Trader Joes. The juice, of a young coconut is packed FULL of electrolytes & the meat is naturally fat-free & is really delicious.
This ends my (not) paid plug for the consumption of coconuts. :P
P.S. I'm down another 3.4 lbs. as of this morning! :D

I need a coconut tree for all the uses I have for coconut. The meat, the milk, the water , the oil! It's the one supper food I don't know how so many live without.
I use the oil to moisturize with, it's in my toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant. Tasty to saute shrimp with. OMG for the coconut
I didn't realize that about coconuts - we'll have to give it a try! When you come up with a great way to crack them, post it!
