Concoct with Coconut Oil

{!firstname_fix}

Welcome back to the email series about adding more nutrients to your juice and 
smoothies! You are now learning about some of the extra ingredients that will really 
improve how healthy your smoothie or homemade juice is. This starts with coconut oil.
Coconut is a Healthy Fat 
 
At one time, all fats were considered equal and vilified as being the enemy of a healthy 
diet. While there are a number of fats that contribute to high cholesterol and a number 
of other health issues, it turns out that the real problem is not the fats themselves, but 
rather how those fats are processed into oil, which is then either added to food or used 
for cooking it. 

Recently, scientists have discovered that there are actually a wide range of "good fats" 
and a number of oils are among them. These "good fats" not only combat cholesterol 
but they can actually help you lose weight as well. While sesame oil, olive oil, avocado 
oil and even almond oil are also among these "good fats," they may not be the tastiest 
oils to add to your smoothies. 

Coconut oil, however, will not only add a healthy boost of fat to your juice or smoothie, 
but it also tastes delicious. 

If you are not used to using it, start with a small amount, no more than a tablespoon, 
then increase it only as needed. It will come as a solid form, but will blend really well 
and turn to liquid.
