HEALTH & BENEFITS

Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative that contains healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. It has been associated with improving heart health and reducing inflammation. Eggs are a good source of protein and healthy fats, and contain vitamins and minerals like choline, B12, and selenium. Caramel, however, is high in sugar and should be enjoyed in moderation.
