Coconut oil...

[sangie]

Ginger I haven't tried it on my hair but my sister puts in on dry hair, massages her scalp, wraps in a towel and leaves it for half an hour. Then she shampoos/conditions. I've also heard of it being used overnight in hair then wash out in morning?

I've been using it on my face for around a week now and no pimples (now that I've said that I'll probably get a huge one tomorrow lol!)

Oh. My. Goodness. Coconut sugar tastes like lollies. Someone help me. LOL!

Its SO SO yummy! And lower GI than normal sugar, organic and TASTES LIKE NORMAL SUGAR IN MY TEA! That was the cutting factor. I'm changed for good! YUM!!!!!!

[Ginger]

does anyone use it in smoothies/drinks at all?

[Olive]

I got some today Kelly, tastes fine in coffee just not as sweet!

Ginger I use it daily in my smootie

Has anyone with coloured hair used it as a hair treatment? I'd like to try it but I've noticed that some oils (eg essential oils) can strip the colour out. Not sure if it would help lock it in like a normal treatment or send it out?

Ginger I use it in smoothies, 1 tablespoon but no more. Really whizz it up to make sure there are no bigger solidified bits! But adds a nice coconutty flavour.

I haven't but I have heard so many good things about it, just wish i knew if it applied to coloured hair. I was saying how I put it in my DDs hair to my Sri Lankan friend yesterday they use it a lot in her home country but she didn't know where to get it here so she is thrilled to use it again.

I am making a Zucchini slice and have replced olive/macadamia/vegetable oil with coconut oil. Hoping it turns out yummy

How did the zucchini slice turn out?

Does anyone know if baked muffins/cakes/pikelets etc using coconut oil freeze ok? I assume it would be fine?? I'm having a 'stock the freezer' day!

I made piklets cooked in coconut oil last week and froze them

While we're on the subject of all things coconutty, has anyone tried coconut aminos? It's a replacement for soy sauce. I just ordered some online to try!
