Product review and giveaway: Tropical Traditions coconut oil

I recently received a sample of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Standard Virgin Coconut oil to try out.  I immediately got to work on putting it to good use 😉

I love making bowls and stir fries.  I decided this was the perfect use for my coconut oil goodness.  I stir fried multicolored peppers, spinach, kabocha squash, Italian seasoning, quinoa, and tuna with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.  I topped my masterpiece with feta.  Viola!  Italian bowl.

This stuff was awesome.  I tasted it straight too.  Very different from the kind i’d been purchasing at the local store.  I guess the only way I could explain the taste was more pure than what I was used to.  I will be getting more of this, tasting was believing!

Disclaimer: Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of this product to review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose.  Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway in return for the free product.

Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

How to Use Coconut oil: There are hundreds of uses for coconut oil!

Some things I use it for:  homemade body scrub, body moisturizer, and hand/foot treatment .  My favorite use is cooking!  Stir fries, baking, roasting veggies, adding moisture to dishes, adding to coffee, adding to oatmeal, adding to smoothies, lubricating crockpot or pans,  etc.  If you are a PB2 fan, it’s great mixed with coconut oil for healthier peanut butter.  It’s my go-to healthy fat.
