Who Else Wants to Lose Weight with Yummy Coconut Oil Recipes?
Here you'll find a few yummy and extremely simple coconut oil recipes.
Believe it or not, there are countless ways you can use coconut oil in your daily diet.
Coconut oil gives you energy, boosts your metabolism, and suppresses your appetite for a good 3-4 hours - that’s why coconut oil is also called "the energy fat".
For a burst of tropical flavor, blend 3-4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil in your smoothies, protein shakes, fruit juices, yogurt, apple sauce, or cottage cheese.
Mix it with extra-virgin olive oil in your salad dressings or put a tablespoon over your rice or steamed vegetables.
Make a delicious "toast spread" with coconut oil, raw honey and cinnamon powder.
You’ll simply love these super-simple coconut oil recipes!
As you've already seen, coconut oil is the healthiest cooking oil, as it does not deteriorate at high temperatures to create harmful by-products, like most other fats. Any recipe calling for shortening can be changed to coconut oil. Any baking or frying you do, including stir frying, add coconut oil for a healthy light flavor.
And listen to this.
Here's how to make your own mayonnaise with 2 egg yolks, 1 cup of 2/3 coconut oil and 1/3 olive oil, 1 teaspoon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Imagine that... really healthy, guilt-free mayo!
But don't use it just in coconut oil recipes.
You should know that coconut is the best massage oil on the planet; what it does to your skin... you simply have to experience.
It’s a natural emollient, moisturizer, and fast rejuvenator for dry, stressed, delicate, and aging skin. If you have an expensive body lotion, first massage in some coconut oil - you'll use a lot less of your lotion and you'll find that coconut oil alone will smooth any wrinkles and make your skin soft and silky again.
