I regularly make banana bread using the typical flour and butter recipe, so I was curious about the result of baking a Primal health paleo banana bread with coconut oil and coconut flour. The recipe has zero sugar, and the taste was better than any other banana bread I've had. Following on from my Interview With A Primal Health Coach (which you can read by clicking here), Michelle (the primal health coach) sent me a recipe from Family Food. Primal Health Paleo Banana Bread Recipe Ingredients 3/4 cup of coconut flour 3/4 cup of almond meal 1 cup of melted coconut oil and extra for greasing the pan 6 eggs 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder ( I used extract) 2 tsp baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tsp cinnamon 5 ripe bananas ( I used 4 as that's all I had) pinch of

I recently had a chat with Michelle, a primal health coach, owner of Santosha Wellbeing in Shell Harbour NSW, and yogi. Michelle is a widely respected wellness practitioner and advocate of primal health. During our chat, I asked Michelle a series of questions about primal health to share here on this page. What is primal health? Michelle: Primal health is a lifestyle; it’s not a diet; it’s much more than that. What I’ve found is that the word “diet” makes people feel scared about making changes to how they eat, or it puts people off, and then they approach change with a negative mindset. Primal health is, to an extent, living like our ancestors did without going out to hunt and gather.

Now that we’re coming out of our winter hibernation, it’s time to dust off winter and restore dry skin and glow. Low humidity indoors and out, regular use of heaters, bucket loads of hand sanitizer, over-cleansing, and scrubbing have contributed to a lot of dry skin in need of TLC. Here are a few fun facts about skin. It is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet and has 3 layers. “The top layer is the epidermis, the skin's main protective barrier and the level where drying occurs. It consists of stacked layers of cells that are constantly in transition as younger, living cells rise from the lower part of the epidermis and eventually die and fall off after reaching the surface. This continuous cycle completely renews the skin about once a month.”

Hi, and welcome to The Coconut Store, your one-stop shop for nourishing and healthy coconut products for the pantry, skin, body, home, and pets. I am Reena, I am an everyday person seeking to live my best life by making healthy and better choices. I've found coconut products are a great addition to what I use, as well as a great alternative to some types of oils, flours and creams. I was born in Fiji, living there for only a short while, yet grew up with a lot of the cultural ways.  Coconuts were always in the house and used in many aspects of life - food, drink, hair oil, skin creams. It was the Fiji way of life. Wellness is a path I’ve found myself on for some time, starting with working in a spa environment and then learning about and understanding
