Even called some Carribean markets in which they supposedly sold unpeeled ones.. Only one in Norwalk ( 1 hour away) will be getting back to m…

OMG.. Just took a sip of my Super food smoothie w/ the Coconut Kefir!! YUMMY........
The coconut kefir in it self was kind of carbonated and not as sweet as the water itself..Imagine a kind of coconut soda... Mixed in w/ my regular smoothie ingredients..plus the super food green powders that came in the mail, the drink was/is FANTASTIC... But darn it.. I forgot to add a pinch of cayenne.. just like that cutie patootie Raw Model suggested to slow down the sipping! I've had a tendency to suck tho…
