What do YOU use coconut oil in?

Jillian130

I've been reading alot about the benefits of coconut oil in your diet and recently picked some up. I've tried it in a protein shake and I know some people add it to their baking. Anyone out there have any tips/suggestions or recipes they add it to?

I mostly use it for popping popcorn on the stove. I know some people put it in their coffee...I tried it...oily coffee is not my thing...

I love coconut oil. I buy the Nutiva brand from Netrition. I surprisingly like it in my coffee. I started out with 1/2 tsp. and I now use 1/2 T. I really enjoy the aroma and taste, the oil doesn't bother me. I also love it on my toast.

I have used it on sweet potatoes, in my smoothies, protein bars, brownies, eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt. Whatever I am having for supper, I have drizzled it on. It stays a liquid in my kitchen.

I love it as a facial moisterizer and lotion. It is my new favorite health discovery.

I tried coconut oil to lightly grease my omelette maker (for the microwave) today. It didn't taste like coconut. I've also used a wee bit to sautee veggies. I'm using it as a replacement for vegetable oil generally. I bet it would be great for something with curry.

I just eat a tsp or 2 plain. I think it's delicious. I let it melt in my mouth.

I fry my morning eggs in a tsp of it, put it on my popcorn (microwaved in a brown paper bag, then I only add the coconut oil & a bit of salt - delicious!), and I use it on my hair. Oh, and I recently fried corn tortillas in it for tostadas, and the family said they were the best tortillas ever!

I cook/bake with it, use it on my face and body, rub it in my hair, and eat it straight out of the jar!! I love it
