How to use coconut oil: (2)

The best way to use coconut oil is to simply use it for cooking, in place of any other cooking oil, especially super unhealthy vegetable oil. Here are a few other ways to use it:

• Put it in smoothies
• On toast in stead of butter
• Mix it in oatmeal
• Use it to make popcorn – then put it on top, instead of butter!
• Make your grilled cheese with it, instead of butter!
• Make salad dressing/mayo
• Mix it with sugar for a body scrub
• Face moisturizer
• Leave-in overnight conditioner – spread in hair and wash out in the morning
• Season your cast iron pans
• Feed it to your pets
