This recipe is perfect for feeding large groups of people in the morning. It’s incredibly easy to make, tastes delicious and is extremely low cost. Not only is it amazing for those reasons, it has a lot of protein to energize you for your day.

Coconut is great for your body too. According to Care2, eating coconuts supports the development of strong, healthy bones and teeth. Coconuts also are antiviral, anti-fungal, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic, meaning they kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This means they are great for your immune system, and since flu season is coming you should eat up!!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe!
