Skinny Coconut Oil

"Skinny Coconut Oil is the only coconut oil I would ever use and recommend to my patients to cook with. It's 100% raw and its purity is unmatched"    - Deborah Lance, RD, MPH

This stuff is amazing!  I love, love, love this brand of Coconut Oil. It has so many all beneficial and healing ingredients...while being really yummy.  Skinny Coconut Oil has done the work in creating a superior oil with the highest quality.  This morning I enjoyed trying some in my little concoction...here is the recipe if you want to try.  Please note that my recipe is probably going to taste quite different from most normal bread, but I really like it and think you may too.

Coconut Flour Mug Bread:

• 4T Coconut Flour
• 1T Skinny Coconut Oil
• 1-1t Nunaturals No Carbs Blend or dropper of Stevia
• 1/8t baking soda (just a sprinkle)
• water to create a smooth batter (important)
• optional additions: vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, etc.

Select a large enough mug to mix the ingredients in or use a mixing bowl and then pour it into a bowl or mug.

First, melt Skinny Coconut Oil in the mug and let it cool for a bit while you prepare the other ingredients.  Now, mix in the egg until well combined.  Add in the Water, Coconut Flour, Baking Soda, desired sweetener, and any additions you would like.

Be sure to add in enough water until the batter is very smooth, but not runny.  This is a step I tend to eyeball till I see the batter is the right consistency.

Bake in the microwave for 2-4 minutes (depending on microwave strength).  Enjoy warm!

Skinny Coconut Oil is such an excellent ingredient for baking, sauteing vegetables, adding to soups or smoothies, using as a skin moisturizer and even...oil pulling!  Haven't heard of oil pulling?  I hadn't either before...a month ago perhaps, but thanks to Skinny Coconut Oil I learned even more about how beneficial oil pulling is.  Maybe you'll learn something new too!

"Oil Pulling Guide

Daily Oil Pulling Guide
Before pulling consult your Dentist or Physician.
We recommend "pulling" first thing in the morning after waking up. Follow the steps below for better health and a cleaner mouth!

• Step 1: Upon rinsing, place one tablespoon of Skinny Coconut Oil into your mouth. While waiting for the oil to melt, start a timer for 20 minutes. 
• Step 2: After the oil melts, begin to swish in your mouth, without swallowing. Move it around your mouth, teeth, and gums as if it were mouthwash, but don't gargle. The oil will begin to get watery as it mixes with your saliva, but keep swishing. You may also notice that the oil mixture begins to thicken the longer you "pull"...this is a good thing. 
• Step 3: After the 20 minute timer ends, spit the oil mixture into the sink or toilet and flush it down the drain.
• Step 4: Rinse your mouth again with warm water, brush your teeth, and scrub your tongue. 
• Step 5: Enjoy all the benefits that come from oil pulling. 

For best results, oil pull daily for all the benefits!

       ORGANIC OILS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!www.barleans.com   
I first heard of Barlean's products at a health food store while with my Aunt and Cousins.  We all got to try some of their kid's Omega Swirl.  I remember it was really tasty.  It reminded me of delicious yogurt, even though it is filled with great omegas for your body.  


I just recently found out that Barlean's is offering even more products in addition to their Organic Oils.  The  Coconut oil is so smooth and creamy.  I was surprised that I could even tell a difference from the brand we usually buy since they have the same ingredients, but I really think Barlean's Coconut Oil is creamier!  I love using it in baked goods, for frying eggs, melting on veggies, or drizzling in smoothies!

Here is the recipe my family makes for a Fruit Smoothie:

The avocado makes this smoothie so super creamy and provides ton of healthy fats.  There have been quite a few times when the boys will say it is like soft serve ice cream!  An ice cream-like treat that helps kids (and adults) take their fish oils?!  I like that. : )
 
1T-Fish oil, Cod liver oil, Coconut Oil, or preferred oil.
1/2-1-Avocado (depending on size and desired creaminess)
1-2 Bananas
1C your choice of berries (we usually use Strawberries as they are our younger one's favorite)

Melt Coconut Oil in microwave till it softens to liquid form (if using...which I highly recommend!).  Blend Avocado, Banana(s), Blueberries, and your choice of oil.  Slowly drizzle in Coconut Oil and finish up with a final blend, making sure all ingredients are thoroughly smooth and creamy.  Enjoy!

Pictured at the top of this post, is Barlean's Organic Chia Seed.  Chia seeds are full of excellent Omega-3s, fiber, vitamins, and great trace minerals.  This super antioxidant is a favorite of my mom's.  She has them every morning, warmed on the stove, where they expand and absorb in water.

I was really intrigued by their transformation once placed in water.  I love to substitute Chia Seeds for Tapioca to make a very similar pudding-like treat.
