I’m sure by now you have heard about Virgin Coconut Oil. If not just Google it and you will see that it is the hottest thing going for those who are looking to live a healthy lifestyle. I must admit I too have made the healthy lifestyle commitment and changed my eating habits and have lost 12lbs in the process. That is why I’m so excited that I had the opportunity to try the Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil. Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is certified organic according to strict USDA requirements. It is hand-made in the Philippines.
I usually have a smoothie or green drink daily so I wanted to try the Virgin Coconut Oil in a smoothie. I must admit it was YUMMY, to say the least.

I love my coconut oil, especially in stir frys!
I hate never tried this but have heard a lot about it. I do a lot of baking (at least something every day) so this would be something good for me!
interesting. hubby and I want to start drinking fresh smoothies each morning now made from vegetables and fruits and i want to add this virgin oil too.
That looks so good! Now that it’s getting warmer I need to start making my smoothies again! I use coconut oil in them.

I am new to using coconut products. I eat a strict Paleo diet, so this is something I need to start buying.
I never knew there were so many uses for this. Thanks for sharing!
I have coconut oil in the house that I use for a variety of purposes, but I never thought to use it in a smoothie! Thanks for the neat idea!!!
