Coconut Oil in Coffee? Yes, Please. [Picture]

How do you take your coffee? I used to drink it black. Then I started adding milk and honey. Now, my morning coffee ritual includes a thick medium roast coffee made in a french press, add milk and honey, a tiny bit of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of coconut oil. Yep, coconut oil.

Coconut oil is one of the latest obsessions in healthy food eating and cooking circles. I spread it on toast instead of butter, I cook with it and bake with it. Eating a teaspoon a day is a like taking a vitamin to me. Plus, the mild coconut flavor is one I love. As long as your coffee is hot enough, it blends right in. Leaving only a slight oil on top, which makes your lips soft. I know several people who have seen their skin start glowing after taking coconut oil regularly. I like it for the healthy fat benefits and the taste. You can get more tips on the benefits of coconut oil here.
