coconut oil review and giveaway

When I started the journey to eating more clean and real foods one of the things I tried to stop using was vegetable and canola oils. The research that I've read said to use coconut oil instead. I talked to some friends who have switched and got the low-down on coconut oil. I was excited to give it a try and get some of the not so great oils out of my house. I found a great sale on expeller-pressed coconut oil on the Tropical Traditions website when I was first starting this journey so I bought it to give it a try. I later received a 32 ounce jar of the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to try and review. (If you order by clicking on any of my links and have never ordered from Tropical Traditions in the past, you will receive a free book on Virgin Coconut Oil, and I will receive a discount coupon for referring you)

I am so glad that I've tried both kids of coconut oil. The expeller-pressed oil is just the coconut oil without any coconut flavor. The virgin coconut oil has a slight coconut flavor but it's not crazy coconut flavor and it's a great little sweet addition to lots of things. I've used the virgin coconut oil in homemade brownies, granola bars, and my friend even used in to make popcorn (which gave it a slight sweet flavor!). I really liked the coconut oil and I will be buying more when my jars run out!! I really hope you'll give it a try because it's a great substitute for the oils that are made in factories!! One of you lucky readers will WIN your own quart of the Gold label virgin coconut oil!

Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!
