Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway

Up until recently I had never heard of cooking with coconut oil.  I've always been a vegetable oil kind of girl.  To be completely honest I was both nervous and skeptical when given the opportunity to review a jar of Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil.

When it arrived I thought it looked like coconut milk.  White, smooth and creamy.  When I opened the jar I was immediately taken to a tropical island by the sweet smell of coconut!  Pina Coladas, palm trees and sandy beaches were on my mind!

Imagine my surprise when I learned that you can use coconut oil in everything from baking desserts to your dinner entree' and everything in between including soups and dips.   I decided to try it first in walnut brownies.  I substituted the vegetable oil that I would normally use for a 1/2 cup of Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil.

The brownies were delicious!  I could most definitely taste the difference and was very pleased with the results.  I think that coconut oil may just be my newest "secret" ingredient!  What my husband and children don't know can't hurt me, right?!

Tropical Traditions is positive that you will love their coconut oil, so positive in fact, that they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their 16 oz. trial size.  If you are not 100% satisfied for ANY reason with your trial size in the first 30 days, you get a full refund - no questions asked!

About Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil:

Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.
