Learn how to use coconut oil in your everyday drinks and enjoy some unique coconut oil drink recipes on us.

We all know how good coconut oil is for our health when cooking with coconut oil, but sometimes finding unique ways to add it to your diet can be challenging. But have you ever thought about adding it to a drink? Adding coconut oil to your favorite drink or using it in a new coconut oil drink recipe, is a great way to get your daily amount of coconut oil and all of the health benefits that go with it. You can easily add a tablespoon of coconut oil to any drink, which will result in a tasty drink with lots of flavor. Here are some coconut oil drink recipes we think you will love.

Coconut Oil Avocado Shake- 2 Servings

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons of raw honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 5 ice cubes, or as many as desired
  • 1-4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
  1. Scoop the flesh out of the avocado after removing the pit and put it into a blender. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the coconut oil. Start blending, then add a steady stream of coconut oil as you blend.

Lemon Coconut Oil Green Tea Drink - 1 Serving

  • 1 teaspoon of raw honey
  • 1-3 teaspoons of coconut oil
  • 1/2 of a freshly squeezed lemon
  • 1 serving of green tea, bagged or loose

Homemade Instant Breakfast Drink - 1 Serving

  • 1 teaspoon of cocoa or to your desired taste
  • Add stevia to your desired taste
  • 1-3 tablespoons of coconut oil
  1. Blend everything together.
  2. Optional - you can add 1-2 eggs and blend again. The boiling water should be hot enough to take care of any raw egg issues.

Very Berry Coconut Oil Smoothie - 1 Serving

  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • 1 cup of strawberries, raspberries or blueberries
  • 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (vanilla flavor)

We use coconut oil quite a bit in our cooking, but I've never used it in drinks before! These are creative ideas.

Nancy Chan 14/8/15 13:16

I have used fresh homemade coconut oil for cooking but never for any drink. The coconut you used to add to your drink, it is the same as the homemade one?

I put unsweetened flaked coconut in my smoothie almost every morning but I love your idea of adding coconut oil instead and for a variety of drinks! Isn't is amazing how not long ago we were being told to stay away from coconut oil and eggs. I want to try the one with cocoa first :)

Monica 15/8/15 16:48

This makes me think of how some places put a dab of butter on coffee, something I read about a few months back. I have to admit I've stuck with olive oil and canola but I have heard a lot about how coconut oil is good for you. You've definitely got me thinking with your creative ideas.

Great post and recipes Angie, thanks for sharing. I knew that adding oils to some drinks helped the absorption of herbs as it is mentioned in Ayurvedic medicine. Great idea to use it everywhere.
