Ever since taking a coconut cooking class with Myra Kornfeld a few weeks ago, I’ve been chopping lots of coconuts, drinking lots of coco water and cooking with lots of coco milk and coco oil. I also have even slathering coco oil on my face every night before I go to bed!
It’s def one of nature’s best kept secrets because it’s good enough to put in your body AND on your body*…healthy AND healing AND moisturizing AND anti-bacterial AND delicious!
(*please make sure its good quality)
The coco oil in my bathroom cabinet!
Here’s a very informative article written by my coconut teacher, Myra, on the The Healing Properties of Coconut Oil!
Btw- If you don’t like the taste of coconut, you can always use good quality expeller pressed refined coconut oil. It’s a little more processed than the virgin kind but you’ll still get the same great benefits with out the taste.
Check out some of my recent treats made with coconut:
Hazelnut-Vanilla Milkshake- made with: coco water + coco meat + hazelnut extract + vanilla extract + ice. Literally tastes like ice cream!
Coconut-Orange Creamsicle- made with fresh young coconut water + coconut meat + 1/2 organic Florida orange + ice. Delish!
Coconut-Crusted French Toast Sticks - made with: Farmer's Market Bread + Farm-Fresh Eggs + Fresh Organic Milk + Shredded Coconut + Coconut Oil.
Hope the The Healing Properties of Coconut Oil article (and the photos above) inspire you to add coconut to your body- inside AND out!
Now, get cooking!
Be Healthy. Be Nutty. Be Well.
