Hello, wonders if you add Spirulina in your smoothie? If yes, I just discovered a new plant base powder that contain more B12 than spirulina If you are interested, i can send you the link articles that talk about this plant Bless 🙌
🙋🏻♀️😆👏🏼It’s already the 100th time I need to return a product to WholeFoods because it taste so bad! I’m starting to think I need to eat it even though it taste bad…-Any advice? My hubby says why do you keep trying every product he recommends…I tried the Stevia, and refined organic coconut sugar…They both have bad after taste or bitter 🥥 😅🙋🏻♀️💕🤣
Hey guys! It’s coconut overload🥥🥥🥥🤪✌🏼Coconut is a flavor I always enjoy! Whether it’s in sweet treats or baking or as a milk product or even water! Love me some coconut🥥🥥🥥🥥❤️
Hi , I am from kerala,India (kerala means land of 🌴 coconut trees). In my house in kerala we have coconut trees so we have fresh coconut every time and always have a stock of homemade oil. From my childhood onwards I am hearing that coconut is not good for health but now people saying coconut is good and seeing coconut based products in USA stores I feel really proud , at last our coconut got recognition .
3 Stars that nice😌, from the Caribbean here and coconuts are a staple, we all grew up with the coconut man coming around selling fresh pick coconuts for water or jelly and many people has a coconut tree(s) 🌴 at home.....
I love coconut water especially the ones I tried in Puerto Rico. Opening a fresh coconut that was previously in the fridge was sooo good. Any coconut water I’ve tried from the States pale in comparison even the whole coconut ones.
I’m Asian, I grate and make my own coconut milk from the coconut itself. It’s taste different from cans or cartons. We do not have coconut in cans back home so I like the real deal.
I actually have an ”allergy” to xantham gum, guar gum, etc....and wish they would quit putting “stuff” in our food that doesn’t NEED to be in there. Thx for these vid “types....VERY HELPFUL to me👍🏻
Rachel I Hi, thx for commenting. For me, here’s a “basic rundown” on what happens if I eat foods, or even take medication that uses these as “binders/fillers”...(w/o going into more detail or personal medical history/experiences.....just giving “tiny recap”) What happens when I “eat” anything w/ xanthum gum & guar gum, horrible intense stomach pains, breakout in hives (which also hinders my breathing), as well as, horrible migraines, & diarrhea etc....issues. I also ended up getting an intestinal blockage from eating too much guar gum once, which required surgery to “fix”. Not a fun day, needless to say when end up eating stuff that has the ingredients; & the symptoms can last for days/weeks. These “items” are considered & registered w/ the FDA as “GRAS”: Generally Recognized As Safe. For most ppl I’d say that’s probably true, since artificial sugars, sugar alcohols, & substances as Guar Gum, Xanthun Gum are used in a LOT of FOODS, MEDICINES, etc.... I just have “other” medical issues that compounds the affects on my health. Hope this helped you..... Cheers ✌🏼
@@Aepek Hi, I have all kinds of food allergies. I always had the dairy and citrus and nut allergies. But in the last 30 years I have developed so many more. I told my Dr that I think it is from all the additives they are putting in our food. I did eat most nuts growing up, and until about 20 years ago. But all these other new ones popping up. It is absolutely insane. And tons of people are getting all kinds of the same allergies.
I buy most of my coconut milk and creams from the Asian markets.. A few varieties are super clean and I find the quality is 100x better than these non-Asian brands. Have you ever tried any of the Asian brands?
I used to eat coconut (and the juice inside) when I was in Hong Kong. I think the flesh is delicious with little sweetness. Coconut oil has its unique aroma but I never thought it has a lot of benefits. Don't worry about sat fat because it can be fully dissolved in the mouth with just saliva. The magic hasn't stopped there. It can even help dementia because it has MCT which can be converted to ketones in liver which your brain loves it
Glad you mentioned the issue with putting a spoon from your mouth back into the yogart. Same is true with your fingers and cheese. Touching with your bare hands then back into your fridge reduces shelf life.
Hi Bobby. My girlfriend has highblood pressure and is salt sensitive . We never hear you talk about the salt content in frozen foods and or premade spaghetti sauce and canned foods. Love your channel, we've learned quite a bit from you. But what's up with you not addressing the sodium content?
How do I find out which brands of coconut milk to use in my smoothies, coffee cooking all the name brands I’m looking at are so full of ingredients I’m confused. So delicious only?
I'm so happy that I live in the Caribbean where there are coconuts galore! Purchasing coconut milk powder and having coconut milk in the can is a sin, its unheard of 🤣 I also make coconut oil myself. 😇
@@RedErin Good morning from Japan and thank-you for your information about the vinegar! Japanese ppl have alot of positive look regarding vinegar and I thought I had to get rid of the garkins I had. Thank-you for the reply!
@@Getitgirl816Good morning to you from Japan, and thank-you for the reply! I got into looking up vinegar like crazy last night and was asked to throw away the 2 big jars of pickles I had left. Thanks again！
You are a powerhouse of knowledge. Got your cookbook and I love it. Desi (probably spelled wrong) recipes are just wonderful too! Rose is so lucky to have a great head start in life by earring the right foods.
Great video. I’m a huge follower of yours, I love your content, Bobby and Art. However, I didn’t appreciate the Pablo Escobar reference. Please keep in mind that Colombians are insulted with those innocent jokes, as our families still mourn the death and loss that he caused to our people. Keep on cooking and mad love!
Bobby, do you ever research the environmental impact of these products? I have friends who believe that coconut sugar is better for them than other sweeteners. Coconut sugar may have special flavor, but all sugar is CARBs. Also, coconut is very high in saturated fat! Many healthy people are perhaps not affected, but I’m sure a number are. After reading Michael Pollan’s “Omnivore’s Dilemma” (HIGHLY recommend!!), I’m concerned about consuming large amounts of manufactured foods from the other side of the planet. The petroleum used to get it to the Mid Atlantic area is a lot! Coconut water in a single use plastic bottle??? Come ON people! Finally, when I was a kid, we bought intact coconuts, complete with brown shell, from the grocery store, smashed them open with a hammer & enjoyed the milk and meat as a special treat. So much energy and plastic is used to bring us all these products.
Ive learned so much from watching your videos ive actually turned my family on to them its so hard knowing from packaging whats good n whats not but you've helped me so much I. Still in the learning process im only 5 days in better n cleaner eating but I hope to do better n help others also love what you do ❤💯🤙 your appreciated
Can you specifically speak to why, why eat all of this expensive healthy food? Although it seems self evident, what benefit do my family and I stand to recoup?
Thank you so much for doing all things coconut! I use both Coconut and Almond milk but 2 out of my 4 kids are nut free and try to use Coconut milk more. Please do more Coconut milk/product Bob Flav approved and Coconut flour recipes!Thanks for your time and passion too ❤
Nope. Most say to consume with 24 hrs. Plus you'd probably need to blend it - the fat and water don't mix all that well. Granted I use the Native Forest brand - it is actually only $1.79 at my local natural grocers store and 3/4 coconut cream. You can make your own coconut milk from coconut flakes (not shreds, unsweetened obviously), as long as you have a decent blender or food processor.
Dace, with autoimmunity I was unable to hold or gain weight until I started eating Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers (Bobby Approved) and King Soba Black Rice Ramen noodles or their black rice spaghetti on occasion. Those and eating almost constantly during the day have helped me slowly get back to the minimum side of my healthy weight range. I'm almost there. Just trying to eat more seeds, nuts, fats, avocados, meats etc didn't do the trick at all.
Did I miss coconut butter? How is it made and what can I do with it in recipes? Does it compare to almond butter and peanut butter or dairy butter? Thanks for this coconut video!
Coconut is best RAW . Because of its oil content in the fiber coconut starts getting rancid at cumulative speeds . As you all know too well raw coconut gets rancid even during refrigeration. At best use it within n 24 hrs of opening during winter . It can be preserved frozen ! MY CONTENTION is this : USDA rules for the definition of organic have been on the slippery slope ever since it was started . What was *defined* organic in 1998 , it is not in the market anymore . Coconut was given a *demonic status by business men* who paid clinical scientists to write papers against coconut And then they turned back and wrote it is great for health in the mid 1990s. For generations we have been using coconut in all its forms and no one died of heart attack or any diseases . Nor were they on medication until 90's ! So We are speaking from the horses mouth - Coconut oil has a strong flavor , The strong flavoring ingredient in the coconut oil is already processed out before it is flushed into the market . This ingredient which gives the smell is it's best property ! So it is like eating rice without the germ inside ! Go figure :) Thailand and Philippinos also consume coconut oil. So I will want to check one of these stores So it is best to consume as *LITTLE* processed foods. Till then I will use Ghee ( Ancient ORGANICS - buy it by the gallon from their website ) and buy raw coconuts Make your own coconut milk . Yes , making *food from Scratch* takes *time*Food is medicene. And your health is decided in what we choose to eat ? *When Food is the most imp thing then why don't we spend time making it* , because *empowered men and feminists looked down on men and women in the kitchen* !!! So here's to RAW coconut water ! not the bottled RAW ! ! Go Figure America :)
Let's turn to God Let's repent and ask for forgiveness Let's study God's word and thank God for sending Jesus and all He's is done Thank you God! Shepherdschapelcom Theseasonorg explains the whole Bible God bless
I clicked on this so fast because my hubby has been trying to tell me coconut oil is bad for me and a quick search turns up both arguments - for and against. Now, I totally trust your input as I've come to know the channel, but I wonder where I could find the TRUE facts on using oil for cooking, baking and drinking. Thanks for the video! Best wishes.
when i open a can of coconut milk, there is a thick topping on top which i think is coconut cream. do i mix that in or save it for later and just use the milk part in a recipe that calls for coconut milk? And if i add it in what is the best way to mix it? I am finding that there are still clumps of cream and it doesn't mix in very well. Suggestions?
As much as you are worried about good stuff we put in our body, you should also be worried about good stuff you put on the earth. Please please use reusable stuff whenever possible. Disheartened to see you using plastic spoons! Other than that I like your videos.
I make my own coconut milk by blending 2 cups shredded coconut (untoasted & unsweetened) with 4 cups hot water together for a few minutes until smooth and creamy then strain it through a muslin square, squeeze the last drops out and decant into bottles, will last up to 4 days in the fridge, has more coconut in it and is 1/2 price of store bought (you can use the coconut butter that’s left for all sorts of things too
@@maggieleonard9834 , OMG!! That is heartbreaking!! I recently started feeding my cats grain-free recipes (now that I'm enlightened). Unfortunately, they're not digging it. It's like, "hey guys, YOU'RE CARNIVORES! You're not supposed to eat grains!" Kids these days...
The moment when screws open the coconut yogurt and says “I have to try this” O.O Also, great way to figure out if you should just get one or go for more when it comes to a new product.
You do have water in the coconut milk. you have to grate the coconut, put water and squeeze the milk out, so there is no way there will not be water in the coconut milk.
Wow, @4:45 I spy BOXED WATER! That's new to me... and why didn't someone think of that YEARS ago? Plastic, be gone! I just got an Alexapure Pro filtration system for my apartment, and I'm loving the water and will no longer be hauling bottled water up the stairs to my apartment (joy). But if I'm on the go, I will definitely be on the lookout for boxed water. Also, Bobby, THANK YOU for NOT double dipping (like George Castanza) in the yogurt. It drives me nuts when I see TH-cam food vids and the host goes back in with a dirty spoon. Yuck! I watch how you roll when cooking live, and you're probably the ONLY conscientious one out there.
Coconut flour seems to have a very different nutritional profile from shredded coconut. How exactly is it processed? Leftover pulp after making coconut milk?
If you’re ever in Southern California you really should go to the Fermentation Farm. It’s a small store with delicious made in house fermented foods and other whole healthy eats. They also have a delicious little restaurant. Try their grass fed beef chili and homemade kombucha! They even offer how to classes.
Hi, do you think coconut has to be organic? I always thought since it says a hard shell, it does not have to be organic. I have been learning a lot from you and thanks for the TH-cam videos and Instagram Thanks
Coconut palm trees can get infested with the white fly insect and are treated with a systematic pesticide called imidicloprid so the thick shell would no protect the fruit so i would buy organic
I wouldn't do either unless you really need it as a dairy alternative. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. Any fat that is solid at room temperature is a bad fat. If you're looking for an indulgence, then fine. But no one should leave here thinking it's actually good for you. And it's not great for skin because it blocks up your pores. You could use it on your cuticles. Grape seed oil is much better for your skin.
$5.99 for one yogurt? OMG! I’m on a fixed income and sure wish I could eat a lot of these foods. I’m short of getting meals on wheels. 🤢🤮 Im living on crackers (keto) and “Too Good” cottage cheese, (the best) salads, avocados and Applegate meats and meals, plus lots of tuna. Love to make lettuce wraps, too. . I’m stretching out what I can. I don’t eat sugar, very little carbs and sweets. I’m trying SO hard to eat healthier on a very strict food budget. Wish you would do a video on how to eat w Healthy on a fixed income.
Love Love Love your videos...I watch every one of them. I have had coconut water out of a young coconut once and its amazing. They are hard to find down her on the Gulf but hopefully those great ingredients will make their way to us soon.
Cocoyo is young coconut kefir. Expensive, but very good. I put chia seeds and berries in it overnight and add some walnuts or almonds or pumpkin seeds on it in the morning for breakfast
4:22 trying to gain extra weight....LOL , Hang with me bud - I got you covered on that one - Great videos by the way I am starting to eat and live healthier
I love that I’m still catching up on your lessons from A YEAR BACK 😂🤣 I really need this one. I’ve got CREAM not MILK & clueless what to make with it 🙏❤️ 🥥 🌴
hey Bobbie can you do a video on probiotics? I take them but not sure if I am taking the right ones and i would really love to know more about them and what works best and why. Thanks to you and Art I love all the video's and have learned so much.
I tried it...it's strong! The harmless coconut water here on my island is $8- a bottle...I decided to pass on coconut water when it's out of season on the island.
Bobby - would you recommend using either coconut milk (in a can) or coconut cream as a coffee creamer? I have been looking for an alternative to conventional coffee creamers, and have recently tried some nut-based creamers, but they don't do it for me.
Teri, have you tried Nut Pods? I like it very much. Pretty sure it's "Bobby Approved"... He recommends the one in the fridge (as opposed to the shelf), because it's less heat treated for long shelf life. The one in the fridge is a fresher product, though, I do buy the "long shelf life" kind when it's on sale. Also, are you avoiding dairy for a specific reason? If not, I always pour a splash of organic heavy whipping cream in with my Nut Pods creamer. I froth them together, and it's DELISH!
No dairy issues, aside from watching my cholesterol intake. I will try the NutPods and maybe use a bit of half & half with it. Thanks for the suggestion!
What about the "coconut smiles?' I love those as a snack! They were to the left of the shredded coconut. Do you recommend those? Thanks! Love your videos!
Sections of rain forest are being clear cut to plant coconut palms because of world demand and I think much of the benefits are BS along with Palm Oil. I try to find the source of the product before buying when I DO buy coconut. I love coconut. Almonds are great too, the downside is the trees take a ton of water so not so good for a finite resource. So, I just have to weigh the pros and cons when buying.
Hey. Love your videos and recipes!!!!! At my krogers in Louisville. Splenda has a new sweetener out called Splenda Naturals Stevia. Only 2 ingredients erythritol and stevia leaf extract!! Bobby approved?
Come on, Bobby, you know how many "germs" are in your pocket! In fact, the yogurt "bugs" will kill your "bad bugs" on contact basically. Non fermented dips are a no-no for double dipping though!
M. Let go and let live Hello there are more germs in the air than you can imagine ... hello ... there germs in your kitchen sink or counter ... there more germs in your kitchen cloths ... so let go and let LIVE my dear
I love both Cocoyo and Coyo plain yogurts but they both gave me a stomach ache and despite trying only 4 tablespoons of each. I think it isn't mentioned enough that not everyone can tolerate a full serving of probiotics. I would only eat one or 2 spoonfuls at most.
I grew up on the island of Trinidad. Climbed coconut trees. Made coconut oil.

So it is best to consume as *LITTLE* processed foods. Till then I will use Ghee ( Ancient ORGANICS - buy it by the gallon from their website ) and buy raw coconuts
Make your own coconut milk . Yes , making *food from Scratch* takes *time*Food is medicene. And your health is decided in what we choose to eat ?
*When Food is the most imp thing then why don't we spend time making it* , because *empowered men and feminists looked down on men and women in the kitchen* !!!
So here's to RAW coconut water ! not the bottled RAW ! ! Go Figure America :)
Love the thorough breakdown of ingredients! Thanks for all the info!
Lets talk on social media.
Thanks, I bought coconut clusters from Costco and I love them, I will try the coconut ice cream 🍨 good video 👍🏼

I clicked on this so fast because my hubby has been trying to tell me coconut oil is bad for me and a quick search turns up both arguments - for and against. Now, I totally trust your input as I've come to know the channel, but I wonder where I could find the TRUE facts on using oil for cooking, baking and drinking. Thanks for the video! Best wishes.

Dr Berg is a great source of info too.
when i open a can of coconut milk, there is a thick topping on top which i think is coconut cream. do i mix that in or save it for later and just use the milk part in a recipe that calls for coconut milk? And if i add it in what is the best way to mix it? I am finding that there are still clumps of cream and it doesn't mix in very well. Suggestions?
As much as you are worried about good stuff we put in our body, you should also be worried about good stuff you put on the earth. Please please use reusable stuff whenever possible. Disheartened to see you using plastic spoons!
Other than that I like your videos.
I make my own coconut milk by blending 2 cups shredded coconut (untoasted & unsweetened) with 4 cups hot water together for a few minutes until smooth and creamy then strain it through a muslin square, squeeze the last drops out and decant into bottles, will last up to 4 days in the fridge, has more coconut in it and is 1/2 price of store bought (you can use the coconut butter that’s left for all sorts of things too
Which coconut milk (canned or carton) would you recommend for hot chocolate as a replacement for cow's milk?
This dude is going to live to be 110. I can’t quite watching the videos. On my first week of changes to what I buy and eat.
I love young coconuts the water is so refreshing !! the meat is so great. I get them at my local Asian market.
Does this kind of coconut have the hard shell removed or is that just some kind of wrapping over a whole coconut?
@@joyfulmn yes it has a hard shell and there is like a shrink wrap.
@@susanroldan1133 thank you
Do a video on pet food, Bobby!
Love the channel!
Yes, please! The grains from CHINA caused an epidemic of pets dying from CONTAMINATED GRAINS.....we were hit hard when 25 of our show dogs died.
@@maggieleonard9834 , OMG!! That is heartbreaking!! I recently started feeding my cats grain-free recipes (now that I'm enlightened). Unfortunately, they're not digging it. It's like, "hey guys, YOU'RE CARNIVORES! You're not supposed to eat grains!" Kids these days...
The moment when screws open the coconut yogurt and says “I have to try this” O.O
Also, great way to figure out if you should just get one or go for more when it comes to a new product.
You do have water in the coconut milk. you have to grate the coconut, put water and squeeze the milk out, so there is no way there will not be water in the coconut milk.
Wow, @4:45 I spy BOXED WATER! That's new to me... and why didn't someone think of that YEARS ago? Plastic, be gone! I just got an Alexapure Pro filtration system for my apartment, and I'm loving the water and will no longer be hauling bottled water up the stairs to my apartment (joy). But if I'm on the go, I will definitely be on the lookout for boxed water. Also, Bobby, THANK YOU for NOT double dipping (like George Castanza) in the yogurt. It drives me nuts when I see TH-cam food vids and the host goes back in with a dirty spoon. Yuck! I watch how you roll when cooking live, and you're probably the ONLY conscientious one out there.
i had 3 bowls of my coconut ice cream today and am not a binge eater lol. Loving a coconut video!
coconut ice cream???? Can u share ur recipe?
Coconut flour seems to have a very different nutritional profile from shredded coconut. How exactly is it processed? Leftover pulp after making coconut milk?
If you’re ever in Southern California you really should go to the Fermentation Farm. It’s a small store with delicious made in house fermented foods and other whole healthy eats. They also have a delicious little restaurant. Try their grass fed beef chili and homemade kombucha! They even offer how to classes.
Hi, do you think coconut has to be organic? I always thought since it says a hard shell, it does not have to be organic.
I have been learning a lot from you and thanks for the TH-cam videos and Instagram
Thanks
Coconut palm trees can get infested with the white fly insect and are treated with a systematic pesticide called imidicloprid so the thick shell would no protect the fruit so i would buy organic
Hello I love your educational video's but wanted to know what store you are shopping at?
Last time I came this early she wouldn’t speak to me.
Dying 😂😂😂😂
I live in Thailand and your video was very informative. I buy similar items from the local street vendor and make my own coconut yogurt.
You guys are amazing always get a good laugh when watching your videos that coconut was alive 😂😂
Hey Bobby from MIAMI! Way ahead of you, I buy all of GT’s superfoods. Thank you for trying the COCOYO Yogurt. 😋
My Mayo cardiologist told me coconut oil is something you can put on your skin, but never in your mouth. So how did you get so smart?
I wouldn't do either unless you really need it as a dairy alternative. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. Any fat that is solid at room temperature is a bad fat. If you're looking for an indulgence, then fine. But no one should leave here thinking it's actually good for you. And it's not great for skin because it blocks up your pores. You could use it on your cuticles. Grape seed oil is much better for your skin.
Repent before its too Late , Jesus Christ is coming back.,
$5.99 for one yogurt? OMG! I’m on a fixed income and sure wish I could eat a lot of these foods. I’m short of getting meals on wheels. 🤢🤮 Im living on crackers (keto) and “Too Good” cottage cheese, (the best) salads, avocados and Applegate meats and meals, plus lots of tuna. Love to make lettuce wraps, too. . I’m stretching out what I can. I don’t eat sugar, very little carbs and sweets. I’m trying SO hard to eat healthier on a very strict food budget. Wish you would do a video on how to eat w
Healthy on a fixed income.
I adore Coconut - and this tips were helpful 💕
You can just grab a green bowling ball off of the tree if you’re in the right area.
Love Love Love your videos...I watch every one of them. I have had coconut water out of a young coconut once and its amazing. They are hard to find down her on the Gulf but hopefully those great ingredients will make their way to us soon.
Cocoyo is young coconut kefir. Expensive, but very good. I put chia seeds and berries in it overnight and add some walnuts or almonds or pumpkin seeds on it in the morning for breakfast
I heard coconut oils is very bad for you because it’s full of saturated fats
Thank you for answering my question = "Which is the best coconut milk"
Native Forrest simple is on Amazon and a decent price. I bought a flat of 12.
Wait what kind of coconut water is good for you?
I used the carton coconut milk once for a recipe and it came out horrible, and now I know why. Thank you for pointing out the difference!
4:22 trying to gain extra weight....LOL , Hang with me bud - I got you covered on that one - Great videos by the way I am starting to eat and live healthier
I love that I’m still catching up on your lessons from A YEAR BACK 😂🤣 I really need this one. I’ve got CREAM not MILK & clueless what to make with it 🙏❤️ 🥥 🌴
I don't mind pasta bolognese smelling of coconut, so I would use the vergin coconut oil. I adore the smell of coconut!
hey Bobbie can you do a video on probiotics? I take them but not sure if I am taking the right ones and i would really love to know more about them and what works best and why. Thanks to you and Art I
love all the video's and have learned so much.
ALLERGIC-which is why I’m asking you to give coconut-free options!!!
I've been using the carton coconut milk for years to bake; no problems! YES you can cook with it. I also use it in my mashed potatoes! 😋😋😋
This guy is coo coo for coconuts 🥥
Haaaa! I’m dying.. “ Art you want to try this? I got a clean spoon here, pulls it out of his pocket with lint and stuff 😂🤣😅 poor Art!
Didn't wipe it or anything
😂😂😂 “Pablo Escobar style” you make me laugh soooo bad!
I tried it...it's strong! The harmless coconut water here on my island is $8- a bottle...I decided to pass on coconut water when it's out of season on the island.
Bobby - would you recommend using either coconut milk (in a can) or coconut cream as a coffee creamer? I have been looking for an alternative to conventional coffee creamers, and have recently tried some nut-based creamers, but they don't do it for me.
Teri Leduc that is what i use for my coffee. The coconut canned milk. I like it
Teri, have you tried Nut Pods? I like it very much. Pretty sure it's "Bobby Approved"... He recommends the one in the fridge (as opposed to the shelf), because it's less heat treated for long shelf life. The one in the fridge is a fresher product, though, I do buy the "long shelf life" kind when it's on sale. Also, are you avoiding dairy for a specific reason? If not, I always pour a splash of organic heavy whipping cream in with my Nut Pods creamer. I froth them together, and it's DELISH!
No dairy issues, aside from watching my cholesterol intake. I will try the NutPods and maybe use a bit of half & half with it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hola Bobby, me encantan tus videos he aprendido mucho. En mi país usamos leche de coco para preparar comida de mar.🤗
What about the "coconut smiles?' I love those as a snack! They were to the left of the shredded coconut. Do you recommend those? Thanks! Love your videos!
Hey Bobby can you add Info on here regarding coconut aminos and coconut butter?
Why is the Harmless coconut water pink?
Sections of rain forest are being clear cut to plant coconut palms because of world demand and I think much of the benefits are BS along with Palm Oil. I try to find the source of the product before buying when I DO buy coconut. I love coconut. Almonds are great too, the downside is the trees take a ton of water so not so good for a finite resource. So, I just have to weigh the pros and cons when buying.
Thanks for your comment 💕This topic is so rarely discussed.
I love you trying this in the store..
Hey. Love your videos and recipes!!!!! At my krogers in Louisville. Splenda has a new sweetener out called Splenda Naturals Stevia. Only 2 ingredients erythritol and stevia leaf extract!! Bobby approved?
Coconut nectar, vinegar, aminos??
Chimpanzee bubbles from michael Jackson 🤣🤣🤣
Also Art looked like he was going gl go back in with the spoon lol
Come on, Bobby, you know how many "germs" are in your pocket! In fact, the yogurt "bugs" will kill your "bad bugs" on contact basically. Non fermented dips are a no-no for double dipping though!
M. Let go and let live Hello there are more germs in the air than you can imagine ... hello ... there germs in your kitchen sink or counter ... there more germs in your kitchen cloths ... so let go and let LIVE my dear
I love both Cocoyo and Coyo plain yogurts but they both gave me a stomach ache and despite trying only 4 tablespoons of each. I think it isn't mentioned enough that not everyone can tolerate a full serving of probiotics. I would only eat one or 2 spoonfuls at most.
Same with the Coconut Cult yogurts that are so popular. Amazing flavor but not easy on digestion.
