THE MANY BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL! How About 80!

Hey Howdy Hey! Did you that Coconut Oil Is:

·       Anti-inflammatory
·       Antimicrobial
·       Antifungal
·       Antiviral
·       Improves nutrient absorption

Personally, I love the stuff! I also use coconut butter! (Artisana Organic Coconut Butter) It's outstanding in your morning or afternoon smoothie! And just in case you're wondering? What is the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter? Coconut oil is JUST the oil that is extracted from the meat.
Coconut butter is the whole meat of the coconut pureed into a creamy butter.
Coconut meat (by nature) is approximately 65% oil. Betcha didn't know I was so smart, eh?

And here's my recipe for a righteous coconut and avocado smoothie! 

12 ounces of organic unsweetened almond milk

One frozen avocado

One BIG table spoon of coconut butter

Half a frozen banana or a whole one if you really like bananas

One scoop of vanilla protein powder (I use MRM or Vega Whole Food Meal Replacement) 

One packet of Stevia (A little organic maple syrup will also work)

A dash of cayenne pepper (Optional)

A handful of walnuts

And to color it GREEN, I also toss in some kale or spinach! Yeah, I know... It's weird, but it works for me! And NO! It's not fattening! Well, okay, maybe a little, but you need it this time of year! Told ya! I make some darn good smoothies!
