Coconut oil is an absolute staple in my house. I use it in most of my cooking and baking, as a supplement, nourishment for my hair and skin and for oil pulling.

This superfood has a unique combination of fatty acids with powerful medicinal properties. I try and consume 2-4 tbs of coconut oil each day. While Im happy to take it by the tablespoon, many will cringe at the thought. I have put together a list of delicious ways as to how you can enjoy your daily dose of coconut oil and allow your body to reap its benefits.

– Blend through smoothies

– Mix through your morning porridge

– Add to your hot cocao, tea or coffee

– Use to fry or bake with

– Make homemade chocolate

– Through a soup

– Add to your main meals- pasta, rice, lentils, bolognese

– Melt over steamed veggies

– Use as a base to make slices and baked treats (my fav)

– Melt with cocao powder and a natural sweetener for a healthy chocolate sauce or with vanilla extract and coconut sugar for a caramel like sauce

– Use as part of a dressing

– Spread it on your toast

– Make your own marinades, sauces and mayonnaise

– Mix through your yogurt
