Known as “energy fat” by diabetics, dieters and athletes, extra virgin coconut oil is slightly lower in calories than most other fats and oils making it a superb addition to meals and snacks. Here are some easy ways to incorporate coconut oil into your daily diet.

A Toast to You...

Refrigerated coconut oil is a delicious spread on whole-wheat toast, toasted bagels or bran muffins. Try it on crackers and rice cakes too.

Break The Fast: For a light alternative to brown sugar or syrup, stir a teaspoon into your warm cereal, such as porridge, or heat it up to glaze pancakes or french toast.

Shake It Up: One tablespoon of warmed coconut oil makes a delicious addition to your favorite shake or smoothie.

Tea Time: Try adding coconut oil to your favorite tea or hot beverage for an interesting taste experience.

Side Ways: For a light meal or side dish, toss your warm pasta or rice with coconut oil and serve. Vegetables and potatoes are a hit when roasted in this versatile oil too.

Creative Kitchen: Most recipes calling for butter, margarine or any other oil, can be substituted with coconut oil.

Note: Never microwave!
