We use coconut oil quite a bit in our cooking, but I've never used it in drinks before! These are creative ideas.
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 actually heard from my colleague that coconut oil makes coffee taste great :)
We always use coconut oil in food and hair. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Super ideas for coconut oil. I love it...love coconut flour, milk and just about anything else coconut!
I love coconut oil, and it has so many benefits. I like to use it to cook my eggs, and I had that for breakfast this morning actually.
Oh I'm so excited seeing this post! I'm in the midst of discovering more usage on this super food coconut oil, and your post surely comes in handy. Thanks Angie!
Que de cositas :-)

I buy coconut oil too. It is ever so delicious. I also used it to beat a candida infection. It has so many properties.

I'm always looking for ways to add coconut oil to my diet - thank you so much!
I used my coconut oil to remove my make-up. It works wonderfully! Best make-up remover ever, so natural and good for my skin :).
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 :)
Great uses for coconut oil! I will be looking for it soon. Thanks for sharing!
So interesting Angie. I would never have dreamed of adding it to drinks!

I use coconut oil all the time for cooking and baking but I still have yet to try it in drinks! I need to do it!
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.
Can you believe I've never used coconut oil!
But I WANT TO!! x

There was misconception about coconut milk and oil until many gave up using. Now its been proven good for health. Nice invention with both of it.

I use coconut oil in baking - but until now I was still looking at it as a fat. I knew it is better than other fats but I didn't see it as actually contributing to my health. I learned something new today! Thanks!
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.
