/Coconut milk/ n: Not to be confused with coconut water (the nutrient-packed juice inside the fruit), the milk is made when coconut meat is strained and condensed into a thick white liquid. Though it’s much higher in calories, health “nuts” are finding that coconut milk goes a long way when used as a dairy alternative. Give it a go in this new yogurt.

Can’t wait to see how you’ll be eating healthy in ’09? Neither can we.

Let’s give the Vital Juice ball a shake:

Will we fall in love with any new ingredients?

Outlook is good. High on our radar now is hibiscus, the tropical flower gaining popularity in teas and new drinks like Ooba and Barrel Juice.

Any old food trends making a comeback?

It is certain. Remember jerky? With all-natural beef, turkey, and even salmon, it’s time to revisit this protein-packed snack.

Will probiotics lose hype?

Don’t count on it. We’ve just seen the first probiotic water and probiotic granola bar, so these tummy-soothers are here to stay.

Can we expect a popular healthy diet?

Your answer is yes. People who want the benefits of a vegetarian diet without saying goodbye to meat will love flexitarianism. Get details in The Flexitarian Diet.

Will stevia prove to be overrated?

Signs point to no. With recent FDA approval, this no-calorie natural sweetener will be showing up in everything from commercial soda to smaller-brand products like Skinny Water.
