I love coconut oil. It is wonderful for many things. It is also one of the healthiest oils to use. It is a stable oil and does not oxidize easily and can be left at room temperature for up to two years. It is has antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal properties. It is also great for fat loss as it stimulates metabolism and suppresses appetite. Another great property of coconut oil is that it can protect against heart disease by raising the HDL (good cholesterol) and improving the total cholesterol ratio.

So how can you incorporate coconut oil into you daily life?

      1. Low Carb Coconut bread
      2. Coconut in milk
      3. Coconut Chicken Curry
      4. Coconut Herb Buns
      5. Coconut Pancakes (This recipe comes from CHEESESLAVE but I made a savory version of this pancake using my garden zucchinis that I will post soon)
      6. Low Carb Breakfast Porridge
      7. As a toothpaste
      8. As a skin lotion (I use coconut oil with some peppermint essential oil)
