How Organic Coconut Milk Powder Can Help You Burn More Belly Fat

In 2015, when I was in the process of creating Pure Food, I knew I wanted to include a whole food ingredient with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) because of this special type of fat’s ability to help people burn belly fat.

I decided to use organic coconut milk powder.

This ingredient, which you can find in Pure Food Cacao Protein, has some pretty special health benefits.

Here’s why …

The Science of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)

You’re probably well aware of the heart healthy benefits of monounsaturated fats found in foods like avocados, nuts, and olive oil. I highly recommend eating more of each of those.

But there’s a “new kid on the block” type of healthy fat not everyone knows about called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). Scientists have discovered MCTs may help you:

Burn more calories

Your body burns MCTs faster than other fats. So instead of being stored as fat, the calories in MCTs are converted into fuel for immediate use by your organs and muscles.

Burn stubborn belly fat

Two small studies revealed that people who ate coconut oil instead of vegetable (soybean) oil lost belly fat and shrunk their waistlines!

Keep you from getting sick

MCTs are made of two types of fatty acids called monolaurin and lauric acid that can actually kill harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses in your body.

That’s why I decided to put MCTs in Pure Food Protein

But the problem was, all of the “MCT powders” on the market are highly processed and loaded with GMO fillers and additives.

Not how we roll around these parts.

I found the best whole food source of MCTs on the planet: organic coconut milk powder.

Most coconut powders use soy or animal product fillers. Not ours.

It’s 100% organic, plant-based goodness.

How Our Organic Coconut Milk Powder is Made

The flesh from the coconut is dried and ground into a fine powder and combined with organic ground cassava plant roots to make it mixable (since coconuts are high in good fats, coconut powder on its own is clumpy and impossible to mix).

Nearly all other companies add artificial soy- and GMO corn-based fillers like maltodextrin.

The coconut milk powder adds a subtle, sweet, creamy flavor too that I absolutely love.
