It’s a great source of magnesium, is weight-loss friendly, and contains all nine essential amino acids. Coconut milk is an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral ingredient. It helps maintain blood sugar levels, prevent anemia, and keep the immune system healthy. The tasty addition of cocoa powder will help stabilize cholesterol and provide a number of antioxidants.
