“Hey! My name is Ian Hart and I’m a fitness expert and owner of EarthFIT Personal Training Facilities as well as Back Pain Relief4Life. Today what I am going through with you is a healthy dessert and after this video, you’ll be able to make this healthy dessert for your family and they probably won’t even be able to tell that it’s all natural, organic and completely healthy for them.

The first ingredient that is in there is the coconut. And shortly I’m going to chop this thing open with a machete – so stand by, that is going to be interesting, because I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. But before I do that, I wanted to explain to you about the coconut. First off, it is high in fat and there are a lot of calories in it and that could be the down side if you’re someone who is trying to lose weight and is on a calorie-restricted diet, but remember this is a dessert, so this will be a time to splurge. So, the coconut has a medium-chain fatty acid and what that means is it’s not like a high, a long-chain fatty acid which would be saturated fats. So actually this is been shown to contribute to decreasing the bad cholesterol and increasing the good cholesterol. It also has good minerals like potassium, and potassium is vital for muscle growth but it’s also vital for the regulation of liquid in your cells or water in your cells, which is important for everything we do in life. You also want to get raw and natural coconut meat, I’m going to chop this open but you should be able to find raw, organic coconut meat at your local health food store. Where I lived here, you can find that at Herban Marketplace. It’s also high in lauric acid. Lauric acid is antimicrobial and antiviral; so there are a lot of good properties that come from this. In fact in some places they’ve actually have been known to use coconut water in the IV for rehydration and just helping people to rehydrate and get liquid back into the body.

So the first ingredient we have here is the coconut. Then we have the cup of bananas and – you can use 1 or 2 bananas it depends on what you like. I also have frozen strawberries dessert. These are actually organic strawberries that I bought at Whole Foods and I froze them for later. And then people always ask me what protein is best for them to use. A few proteins that I suggest. One of them being Plant Fusion. Plant Fusion is great! Not only is it not very expensive but it’s actually hypoallergenic – it has no dairy no soy, no animal, and it is easily digestible, so it is absorbed in the body fast and it is a great protein. So that’s the ingredients. I’m also going to add some ice into it. So  I’ve got my trusty machete here.

For me this is the exciting part of the day. It is actually opening up the coconut and this is what I like to do with a machete. You might not want to do that, so you can go get the coconut meat at a health store. All right. So when I open this coconut, I personally like to cut on the outside because I want to open the whole top and I’ll get access to the meat. So what I’m going to do is to chop four sides on each side of the coconut. So there is one and actually the water came out pretty quickly. Let’s see if I can pour this out right away. So there we go, that is the coconut water. I don’t want to waste that. Okay now I should be able to cut this top off pretty easily. Oh! It’s a dud!

Well anyways, we got a dud coconut and this tends to happen every once in awhile. Every once in a while I will get very little coconut meat and I still can use that. But what we are looking for is a thick coconut meat and if you get one, it’s really good, it just peels off naturally. It will either peel of naturally, or take a spoon and scrape some of it out. So I’ll just scrape it out like that but we want really thick coconut meat. And one thing to be advised about is that sometimes when this are shipped overseas and they can go rancid pretty quickly. So if the water is not clear, you want to make sure that it is… try tasting it, if it taste a little salty or something  then the meat is probably old and you don’t want to use it.

For the most part, I find these things show up on time and still good to use. Inside you can see there’s a very thin coconut meat. This is actually the first time I had one this empty, and of course I’m filming it for you. But anyway, I’m going to move on. So, now I will have all the coconut meat, throw that in there, throw the banana in along with the strawberries or you can actually use whatever fruit you think is best. You can use pineapple, peaches; remember this is dessert. You don’t have to use the protein. I use the protein just to get some extra protein. There’s not that much protein in this mixture and it actually tastes decent when mixed in. So I’m going to throw in a scoop, one scoop – healthy scoop. And then if you need to, in your blender you can throw in a little extra water or something and then turn it on.

So that’s it! I think you get the point. This is pretty much done, the only thing I might add different is ice, so I’m going to throw some ice in there and it’s ready to be served. A coconut, with 2 bananas and strawberries, with a scoop of protein powder and some ice will serve about 4 people. So that’s a perfect amount. I tend to drink this whole thing by myself – but that’s because I’m trying to gain weight so this was good for your whole family and I hope you enjoyed this. If you have any questions or comments, go ahead and leave them below and have a good day!”
