Coconut Garlic Broccoli

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free

I love broccoli and I never get tired of this recipe. Great on its own, as a side dish or even as a main. It can be served hot or cold and the kids like it too! Broccoli is nutrient rich as it: provides a high amount of vitamin C which aids in the iron absorption in the body; is high in fiber to reduce cholesterol and aid in digestion; has high potassium levels to help reduce high blood pressure; and is a great source of calcium to assist in bone health.
