A 5 minute DIY supplement for brain health!

Posted

It’s one of my best ideas ever, I believe.

 

You see, coconut oil is just so fabbo it feeds your brain, is an extremely healthy source of much needed saturated fat, and supports your entire body inside and out.

 

I use it head to toe… everything from a hot oil hair treatment to a moisturizer (find out more about all that in my Skin Happiness book right now!) to oil pulling to cooking and as a nutritional supplement to prevent Alzheimers.

 

 

But look at this stuff.

Sometimes… it’s hard to choke down.

And then I had a brilliant idea — why not mix it up with chocolate, pour it into ice cube trays or molds of any kind (even just pour it out onto a baking sheet and create chocolate coconut bark!) and pop a piece of delicious candy every day for ultimate brain health!?!?

All I did was this:

 

 

1.  Add equal parts organic coconut oil and organic hazelnut butter (Nutella, basically, but you can use your fav chocolate chips or other substitute!)

 

2.  Heat to melt and stir well.

 

3.  Pour into any ice cube tray, cookie sheet, lollipop mold or dish.

 

4.  Refrigerate.

 

5.  Pop ‘em out and enjoy one a day (I recommend storing in the fridge so they stay nice and firm!

 

 

Enjoy my friends, and pass this tip along.

 

You KNOW it’s too good not to share!!!

And I’ve never heard it before so although other peeps might be doing it, it’s got to be new to some of your friends!

    I do this!!! Just a tad differently. I use organic coconut oil, organic cocoa powder, stevia and unsweetened shredded coconut (to pad it out).
    Melt the coconut oil, stir in the cocoa powder and stevia. Then add the shredded coconut (can use nuts if you prefer) I then pop them into patty pans and into the fridge. Supper easy, so good for you and they always help my chocolate cravings!

    Thanks for the fantastic and delicious tip! My girls beg me for “those yummy chocolate things” everyday, actually all day! I spread mine out on a cookie sheet and then broke them into chunks. I can’t stop eating them now….is there a limit to how much coconut and chocolate spread I should have? When I eat them it feels like they are doing my body a lot of good!!!!
