Coconut oil taste

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee and group! Just wanted to throw in that just last night I opened my

shipment of coconut oil from Tropical Traditions and when I went to have some,

it didn't taste up to what I wanted it to taste like. I had been using the

Nutiva since I ran out of the Trop Trad... Anyway, somehow the Nutiva tasted

almost a little sweeter than the other but I like that Trop Trad comes in glass

whereas the Nutiva is in plastic (for recycling reasons) anyway, just had to

post because while the new shipment didn't taste that bad, there was definitely

a taste difference. Luv, Phyllis

Hi Phyllis,

I had the same issue when I changed coconut oils. I think we just get so used

to the taste of one brand, we can't switch easily.

Cheers,

- I, too, have had trouble with the taste/smell of CO. But, before

Bee, I was trying to take a whole Tbsp at a time.

I didn't think the egg drink was going to be good, either, but I kept

hearing others I trusted say they really liked it and I have added raw eggs

to my smoothies previously, so I got brave and made a small one (one egg, 7g

CO) last night.

The spices totally covered the taste of the CO and it kept me full for a

long time (fasted for a good 13 hrs befor having b-fast).

I made a double-egg " smoothie " this morning, but still only had 7g of CO in

it (but a whole Tbsp butter) and no problems with the taste/smell.

This will def be how I get my CO in and where I will slowly increase my

intake of it...

Try it. You might be surprised!

Good luck!

Thank you Amy, If you or anyone can tell me what brand (coconut oil) it is and

where I can order it from I would appreciate it.

" There's a brand that Bee okayed that is refined, and that's the one I use (I'd

look it up now but I'm not at home--can someone chime in?). It has ZERO taste

or smell. I promise!!! "

Hi !

I love to melt a Tbsp or two of coconut oil in my tea (I drink Dandelion root

tea and ginger tea, and I still love the Pau d' Arco, so I keep drinking it)

with stevia and cinnamon, and sometimes ground cloves and nutmeg - there is

something so nurturing about the oiliness melted into the tea that makes it like

a dessert treat for me, and really satisfies! Feels like I am drinking milk,

actually.

I am a big tea drinker, so that Tbsp is usually melted into a quart jar of tea -

and you could put more in there and drink it throughout the day (though be aware

if the tea gets too cold, the coconut oil solidifies).

Good luck! - Lilithe

amounts that I have been adding. I knew this would be a problem because I have

never liked it.

of the brands that was reviewed with a mild flavor. I also have not tried it in

the egg drink yet, because I am not up to trying that one either, so please do

not suggest that one. I appreciate it.

I believe it's the expeller pressed from tropical traditions. & nbsp;I've used it

before. & nbsp;I think I got used to the coconut taste so I haven't purchased it

in a while.

Wilderness Family Naturals has a good expeller pressed coconut oil with no

taste.

Amy,

Sounds delish! Can you please email me the recipe? I know we're not to discuss

recipes here.

Thanks!

some spices, without the stevia/cinnamon, etc. To me, it's much better as a

drinkable soup! Having a hot drink in the morning is comforting to me, too.

supposed to be private, dang email! Anyhow, just my own feelings. As with

everything in life, we all have our own ways of doing things. I wish this group

could be set up more on a bulletin board site/forums instead of all of these

emails. It would be so much easier to folow conversations and to get info from

everyone. As much as I appreciate Bee and all that she does, I like to get

others' opinions, too. (That's the way I was brought up.)

+++Hi Amy. If you go to the Group's Website, you can view all of the replies to

any particular message, which is below each message.

> My chiro, for the most part, thinks this is all fine and good. He agreed that

I have candida, but also thinks there may be more to it for me. He had me send

off a stool sample to be tested for gluten allergies/intolrance. He also

suggested that I take L-glutamine several times per day. I can't speak for him

and his beliefs, but I do know that the relief I get from his advice and

adjustments is fantastic.

+++All candida sufferers are gluten intolerant, and gluten grains today aren't

fit for anyone to have, so everyone would have reactions to them just like all

of us do to other toxins. You get plenty of glutamine from meats and eggs, so

please don't take any processed supplements.

All the best, Bee
