Baking is a favourite pastime in my house and is a great time to switch out typical ingredients with something coconutty. I used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar in this choc chip cookie recipe and greased the tray with coconut oil. The coconut sugar adds richness to the taste of the choc chip cookies, and the coconut oil on the tray lends a slight coconut taste. 💡Tip for the day: Check if you have enough choc chips or something to use as an alternative, like a block of chocolate. 125g melted butter 1/2 cup of coconut sugar 1/3 cup of caster sugar 1 egg (room temperature) 1 tsp of vanilla essence 1.5 cups of self-raising flour 3/4 cup of choc chips or smashed block of chocolate A bit of coconut oil to grease the tray Method: Preheat the oven to 160 °C Line the pan

Coconut oils are excellent for food, drink, and personal care products. We can buy it as solid coconut oil or fractionated coconut oil. Many have used coconut oils for a long time in various ways due to their ability. The body can easily absorb it, and its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial, amongst other things. Fractionated and solid coconut oils can be refined, bleached, and deodorized, impacting their efficacy, smell, and appearance. Coconut oils, solid or liquid, are excellent sources of medium-chain triglycerides fatty acids, also known as MCTs.  "Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called triglyceride.

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.

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. It involves eating food that is natural, unprocessed, things that our ancestors would have picked from a tree, pulled from the
