Coconut Oil In Coffee

Coconut Oil has many, many benefits. One of them is helping produce better breastmilk. Awhile back I saw a post in one of my Facebook groups where a mom put coconut oil in her morning coffee. I've also heard of people putting it in smoothies, or eating it right off the spoon. I tried the smoothies, and while that is great I usually don't eat many smoothies during the cold months and eating it off the spoon is too gross for me (I don't like the texture). So I decided coffee it is...

Back to the coffee...

Start with a hot cup of coffee and spoon out about a tablespoon of coconut oil.

 

Add it to your coffee. It will begin to melt right away as you can see above.

Stir or let it sit a few minutes in the coffee. It will melt pretty fast on its own.

This is the coconut oil I like to use for eating (I have a different brand I use for baking). Carrington Farms. Pure, unfreined, cold Pressed Coconut Oil. 100% Organic Extra Virgin.

 

Stir in your favorite creamer and you're good to go!

I usually drink the first cup pretty quick so the coconut oil doesn't have time to return to is solid stage and then fix myself a cup of regular coffee with no CO in it.
