Last week when I was home, my mom introduced me to an ingredient, that I thought I would never try. Coconut oil.

Talking over the phone for the past month, she kept telling me every single morning, of how she was now into this new “smoothie routine”, for breakfast. To top it all off, my mom is not your typical smoothie girl.

To my knowledge, it just sounded like she was adding in your regular “smoothie” ingredients, but it was then that she told me how much energy she actually had, after adding in a new ingredient, Coconut Oil.

I have never been much of a fan of anything coconut, but once she told me that it actually gave her more ‘energy’, as these past few months, i’ve been feeling very ‘sluggish’, I was all in!

Every single morning that I was home, she made me a smoothie consisting of kale, spinach, one banana, a few strawberry’s, and coconut oil, and it was just about the yummiest smoothie, that I had in a while. To even make things better, she was also right, as it gave me a TON of more energy afterwards.

Since, many of you probably aren’t too familiar with Coconut Oil, I wanted to share with you all, some of the key benefits of this amazing ingredient that can be used for just about anything.
