Yummy CO Treats for Those Tired of CO Flavor

June 22, 2009

I was having the same problem with coconut oil and here is how I corrected it!

I bought the Tropical Traditions Expeller pressed oil with NO coconut flavor.

Tastes almost like bacon fat and I drown meats, fish and vegetables in it

because I cannot get enough of the flavor when mixed with sea salt. MMMM!!

Then, for my " treat " variation, I take Nutiva, which is a sweeter/stronger

coconut flavor, and melt it with butter (optional) and juice of two lemons plus

stevia to taste. Pour this in a pan only 1/8 " thick on the bottom, put it in

the refrigerator or freezer, then break it into little pieces like the 'bark'

you can buy at the holidays. I put the broken up pieces in a container in the

fridge, and we call them " coconut cookies " for all the family to reach in

whenever. We mostly enjoy it as a dessert though. (Amazingly even my husband

will eat it, who says the smell of Nutiva makes him nauseous!)

Two variations I also make are:

" Peppermint Bark " (same as above but instead of lemon use peppermint oil and

stevia--caution peppermint oil is an anitfungal!), and

" Cinnamon Vanilla " (instead of lemon, use cinnamon mixed with vanilla extract

that does NOT Have alcohol, glycerin or corn syrup, and add stevia to taste).

The variations keep it feeling like candy options for dessert, and the

refrigerated texture of it broken into bark size pieces has the texture of

chocolate!!

Seriously delicious!

Hope that helps.

veggies...takes the taste of their natural flavor away for me. Drinking it in

your egg drink is about the best way, but if I did that three times a day, I

wouldn't have room for any other foods since that along with the electrolyte

drink, pau d' arco tea and cod liver oil fills me up completely.
