"...She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up " is a catchy line in a song that many of us hum. It's a catchy chorus and honestly, that is the only line I know in the whole song. I don't even know who sang the song or what it's really about. However, I hum that phrase so often and one time, while humming, I thought, "What if I really put the lime in the coconut? What will I get?" So I put it to test and here are my outcomes:
1 lime, juiced into 2 cups of fresh coconut water, on the rocks = a yummy mocktail
2 coconuts, sliced into chips, drizzled with juice of 1 lime and sprinkles of cayenne pepper, dehydrated = spicy coconut chips snack
pulp of 2 young coconuts, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp raw honey, pinch of cinnamon, dash of vanilla = tangy coconut creme
pulp of 2 young coconuts, 2 cups tiger nuts flour, 2 tbsp coconut butter, 6 dates, juice of 1 lime, 4 tbsp dessicated coconut = yummy cocotig balls
juice of 1 lime, 1 cup fresh coconut water, pulp of 1 young coconut, 3 tbsp acacia powder, 2 tbsp agave nectar, 1 tsp real vanilla = tangy milk
juice of 1 lime, 1 cup of fresh coconut water, 1 cup carbonated water = lime soda (see the picture)
Coconut is one of the yummiest, healthiest foods you can add to your diet. Coconut water is nature's electrolytes and no other man made electrolytes compound compares and lime is alkalizing and nutrients full as well. So, mix it up, shake it up, rock it, blend it, any way you want it and hum the, "lime in de coconut" song while you enjoy your concoctions.
