One of my favorite energy boosters is simply a coconut! Purchase these Young Thai coconuts at your local health food store, or if you're lucky your supermarket. They cost $2.50 a piece (at our local market) and have enough milk in them to satisfy your thirst, and give you a great boost. That's cheaper than most of those energy drinks which are full of crap! (excuse my language). And unlike those designer energy drinks there is no CRASH when the energy wears off.  Coconut milk is pure 100% goodness! It took me about 2 days to get used to the flavor, but now I love it. Note: if you don't like the flavor use it as the base of your fruit smoothies or add some fruit juice (like orange juice). That way the flavor will be masked, but you still get the benefits of the milk.

Did you know pure coconut milk can be substituted for an IV if you are dehydrated? Yeah,you can put it right into your blood stream! I wouldn't recommend trying it because of obvious contamination issues. But, if you were stranded on an island with say.... McGyver?  I bet he could do it!

I have on my list to do's to video tape Damon opening these little babies. He's good at it. I haven't had to try myself yet. But I do know that there are some bad and good videos on youtube. Damon's perfected it. Keep watching the site. I'll get the video up soon.
