I only cook with Ghee, my wife and I both prefer the buttery flavor. I use 2 Tbs in my black coffee every morning and I really enjoy it. My main purpose for using it is I've heard very positive results with the prevention and reversal of Alzheimer's. My Mom had it and I will do everything I can to prevent it.
+Philip La Barbera Yes! I love ghee as well. I've never tried it though.
+Clean & Delicious ooops! I meant to say I never tried it in my coffee:)
+Clean & Delicious I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear but I put Coconut Oil in my coffee and cook with Ghee. I've never put Ghee into my coffee.

I love coconut oil I use it religiously. The best thing since black pepper lol. My skin and hair never looked better. Thanks for this video.
I tried it on frying eggs and it was a winner. Normally, I hate fried foods but one little half a teaspoon of coconut oil was all it took. Amazing.
Coconut oil Toothpaste : 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3 Tablespoons of baking soda, stevia and
about 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. (this measurements don't have to be exact) ......Coconut oil is antibacterial :D
Carolina Arrieta That's so awesome! I am definitely going to give this a try.
Does it still clean the same without the peppermint essential oil? Or could you use a different essential oil?
I started using Coconut oil for all my sauteeing about 6 months ago when I first read about it. Like it because it doesn't change the taste of the foods I am cooking in it. The higher burn temp capacity makes it great for my fried chicken wings etc..
SO true!!
Great info, you are concerned with health, not only weight loss, good Job. Coconut oil is also good to use on the skin for eczema. I found that most RX creams, including steroid creams, moisturisers and ointments had alcohol and or some other type of preservative which only serve to sting and dry the skin out more. My son had chronic eczema from a very early age, we had dietary and environmental measures in place and with the RX ointments, creams, moisturisers and steroids he was still suffering. The eczema cleared up in no time once I started using coconut oil to moisturise and cut out the all the RX's. Now our golden rule is we don't put anything on our skin that we couldn't safely eat. Remember the skin is a permeable membrane.
NJSMKMMS try putting a filter in all of your facets. Including shower head. Filter out all minerals and fluoride from the water.
Do that and you’ll notice a difference in your skin and hair.
Just had to let you know that after watching this clip I made the switch to coconut oil and I'm loving it. Thanks for the great healthy advice.
I miss using coconut oil :/ I uses it for EVERYTHING
I love how it heals diaper rashes real quick.
get your coconut oil at costco beacuase it virgin oil unrefined and cold pressed it was only 18.85 i got it today
And twice the size of the bottle in the video.
Good to find signs of intelligent life out there... Thank you for the info and vid! We use it everyday as well!
couchpoet1 :)
You can find coconut oil in Indian grocery stores too. A lot of dishes from Kerela (region of India) are prepared using coconut oil.
Coconut oil is also a great conditioner for the hair. Leave it on all night and wash it off in the morning for silkier hair.
My wife and I found a recipe from Mike Dolce which is awesome! We adjusted it a bit but you fillet a chicken breast, dip it in eggs mixed with almond milk, roll it in flax seed and oats, and then roll it in coconut flakes. After that, cook it in coconut oil. It's called tropical chicken and it's healthy! Thanks for all the videos Dani, they are tony the tiger grrrrreat!
I just started using coconut oil in recipes that call for butter with great success. I have also purchased a 2nd jar to use for beauty treatments. I use it to deep condition my hair, as a body moisturizer, cuticle oil and on my eyelashes
I use coconut oil as a substitute for almost any other oil. I also use it as a deep conditioner for my hair, and for a while, I even used it as a moisturizer for my face. It's so great!
Last year I used it for baking awesome coconut lemon cupcakes. I even made the 'buttercream' with coconut oil and it tasted fantastic!
its also awesome for use as massage oil.. Use it straight or add some jojoba or shea butter to change the texture. Its great for your skin and leaves it silky soft.
Costco carries it for about half the price. I LOVE it. I put in on my skin everyday, even my face with no breakouts and younger looking skin. My skin has never been so soft. I like to use it when I make banana bread. It makes it taste tropical and next time I think I will go all out add some crushed pineapple too. I love your tip for pie crusts. I will try that next time.
I know! right? I should have looked for a sponsor before shooting this video!! LOL
Clean & Delicious Try Minola Coconut Oil here in the Philippines.
I use coconut oil in so many ways. Not just for cooking or eating, I put it in my hair, rub it all over my skin when I get out of the shower and just take a tablespoonful straight from the container when I start to feel sick or sore, it's amazing.
I use it for everything! On my skin, hair, stir-fries, smoothies, oatmeal...
One of my favorite meals is kitchari...an Indian dish with lentils, rice, veggies,
spices, and coconut oil makes it the best since I am dairy-free.
I love the way you explain things so simply. I am learning clean eating and your videos are so helpful.
YES I LUV CCO. i use it all the time for cooking. I also use it in my hair, on my face, in my homeade lotion. Unrefined-Cold Pressed is the best.
you did a wonderful job!!!! GO CCO!!!!!!
I've been using coconut oil for the past couple of months now since I've been on the paleo diet. One of my favorite things to make with it is zucchini pancakes. (shredded zucchini, an egg or two depending on how much zucchini, and some almond meal/flour mixed together and cooked in a pan with some coconut oil)
This is the only oil I grew up with in the Bicol region of the Philippines. Now its one of the most expensive oils in the market here in the States. I luv this oil more than anything out there.
love this video!!! i just started using extra virgin coconut oil , it is awesome!!! i eat 2-3 tablespoons of it daily, and use it on my body every day! its cleared my dry skin up and its helped my lose weight!
+jdubb0113 Thumbs up for coconut oil - it really is amazing!
It is my wonderful friend...i used it everywhere.....using it for quite a long time ...😊
I also use it on toast in the am, but I put peanut butter over it and it is delicious. Also made bran muffins which turned out yummy.
It's at GNC now as well! I bought some yesterday to aid in jump starting my lifestyle change.
I'm so glad you let us know about EVOO and high heat cooking. My next trip to Whole Foods I'm picking up a jar of coconut oil.
We've been buying Coconut Oil from Trader Joe's for about 6 months now and we like it spread on warm Cinamon/raisin bread. Yummy!
Thanks so much for this video. I talk a lot about coconut oil benefits, but as you know the saturated fat thing scares people, will be nice to show them someone else talking it up.
We use coconut oil as a liquid butter topping for our waffles, sprinkle with chia and drizzled with honey.
+sandresstudios Yum! That sounds delicious :)
It's also great for diaper rash! My babies are cloth diapered, and have had some nasty, open sore rashes. This was THE best cure and it was ok to put them on the diapers :)
Excellent info!! I was actually going to order some today for the first time and your video makes me more excited to get it. This is the perfect video to introduce people to coconut oil. You covered all the important, best info I've found while looking into it. Have loved all your videos, keep it up!
I love coconut oil, I get yje organic extra virgin and it just has so many uses for it, health benefits is amazing.
I do 3 TBSP day, 1 in each of my shakes, also cook my eggs and bacon in it. And there are some great tasting wheat free cookies I make with it as well.
I use coconut oil in my hair overnight so when i shampoo my hair the next morning it won't have such harmful stripping on the hair effects
I love coconut oil as well. I love adding it in my hair for moisture, I like to use it in my omelets, pancakes and air popcorn as well.. The taste is really good!!!
I've been on a clean food diet change your channel helps so much! Thanks for all the great info!
I make bullet proof coffe with it... I just prepare a nice strong black cup of coffe and whip some coconut oil into it... its delicious and provides a lasting boost... part of my paléo morning routine...
Dani much love from Australia! I love your channel. keep em coming girl.
Corz Illa Loving you right back!
I agree, it tastes great with eggs and spinach! I haven't tried it with anything else yet. Thanks for the video I'll have to pair it with sweet potatoes next.
I put coconut oil in smoothies and I also made brownies with it in and they were delicious!!
I've been frying with it lately and I love it! I fried some sweet potato with some Italian herbs it was yum
Great information, but what's better is the way you explain all of that, it's very convincing and just great to know, keep it up :)
Thanks for this information about coconut oil, you made it all very easy to understand 😊
+missblissfuloblivion Anytime :)
We love a spoonful stirred into our oatmeal as it is cooking. Yummy!
I recently dicovered grate combo. I cook chopped carrot until it's soft. I add coconut oil, salt and ginger. It is delicious side dish which taste good with fish or sauted lean meat.
+dzudiy Yum! I'll have to try that.
+Clean & Delicious I just started spreading some on my frozen waffles in the morning instead of butter.
At Walmarts, you can find it in the VITAMIN section! Spring Valley Brand, Extra Virgin Organic. 12oz. for $10. They didn't have it in the Grocery section with the cooking oils.
I use it to cook my eggs. Thank you so much for this info! factual and straight to the point!
I've watched 2 videos so far...time to subscribe! I'm new to coconut oil. I normally hate coconuts but I just bought some for my hair. Going to try a vegetarian diet so I'll be trying this out.
I use it on my skin, from head to toes. I suffer from a chronic skin condition (atopic dermatitis) that makes my skin super dry and coconut oil feels great (I get a cheaper cosmetic grade unrefined coconut oil for that)
Hi Dani,
My favorite is roasted sweet potatoes, tossed in melted coconut oil, nutmeg, kosher salt and sugar. I also roast broccoli with it- that might have been your recipe!
I've been trying to come up with a garlic lemon butter dipping sauce substitute with coconut oil. Haven't had much luck. It;s for dipping artichokes. If you have a recipe for that I would be so happy!
I just saw several different brands of coconut oil at Bulk Barn this past wknd. I remember when, a little over a decade ago, movie theatres stopped using coconut oil in their popcorn due to the outcry over the fact that it is a saturated fat. I also remember theatre popcorn tasting a lot better when coconut oil was used and I never asked for butter. I don't know what kind of oil they use now, but if I get it I have to have "butter" on it. Defeats the purpose, I'm thinking.
I've heard about coconut oil, and i didn't know all about it! Thank you so much. i'm vegetarian so is soooo good to heard news like this =D
Just made some coconut oil pancakes with lemon...Delicious.
Hi Dani! I'm very confused about using the coconut oil. Here is what my friend told me about the coconut oil:
Be careful about using too much Coconut oil in your food.
Even thou it's of plant origin, but it has lots of saturated fats, so it's as bad as butter, beef and other animal fats.
Dr. Weil doesn't recommend using the c. oil. I'm watching my diet so what takes?
Thank you!
learning alot from your video thank you,,i want to use it instead of olive oil.
+Sharah Yasharahla :)
my kitchen has been mainly extra virgin coconut oil and olive oil for years. the only change for me is shinny hair, nothing future yet. coconut oil actually is not good favor for red meat(except curry), but great additional on bakery
I love coconut oil. You are a good representative for this oil; you look very healthy!
Yes! Coconut oil will not effect your cholesterol;)
Clean & Delicious coconut oil does increase bad cholesterol (LDL). It is very high in saturated fat. You mentioned this yourself in your newer video "is coconut oil really healthy?" so just wanted to remind you to be careful of the information you post since it is distributed to the public and can effect people's health.
Clean & Delicious f,
Illl tell you what.. it gets hot up in my kitchen ,, LOL , this is just the information I was looking for . Thank you Dani
Good video. I was just about to do a search on it. I really plan to use this is basic sauteing.
love to put it in my rice cooker with brown rice, makes it so fluffy.....also I coconut oil pull...gingivitis gone...teeth are bright white
Thanks! I did NOT know this! As you were talking, I was thinking about pie crust, you answered that. Coconut cream pie! But you have to use unsweetened coconut, it is pretty cheap at the health food store which is the only place I could find it. You could put some coconut in your pie dough too. Hmmmm......
My latest thing is cold pressed coconut oil on hot toast with a little bit of salt. Yummy butter substitute. I use Dr. Bronner's fairly traded, organic whole kernal coconut oil.
I use coconut oil not only or cooking, but in lip and body scrubs as well!!!
julia lourden me too:)
Very informative and entertaining, too! I've been thinking about trying this and possibly making the switch. Now I will. Thank you!
thanks for this video. i'm going to pick this up next time i'm at trader joe's. i've been eyeing it for a while now.
For Easter, I made home made peanut butter balls. Instead of butter (which is fake butter and loaded with chemicals, sodium, and GMO's), I used coconut oil. Then I placed some coconut oil in the melted chocolate to thin the chocolate and make it shine. Everybody loved them.
+virkevan2006 yum!
I use coconut oil in all my baking and cooking instead of butter/fat/ fake oil/shortening/lard, etc. Coconut looks, smells, and tastes better, not to mention has a multitude of health benefits.
I also like it spread on toasted whole wheat toast but I add fresh cut strawberries and some blueberries :-) yum!!
My English is poor but i like the way you talk and your ideas i,wish you should show more in your videos helps a lot i ' m new with coconut oil and i buy the refined one but i know for the new time
I use coconut oil to cook my pancakes and it's great in banana bread recipes.
monounsaturated fats found in extra virgin olive oil are stable enough to not form free radicals for hours, not likely to occur in any situations cooking, do to the fact you would need to deep fry at 405 degrees (smoke point) for 10 hrs to form free radicals and at 405 degrees evoo has a higher smoke point than even refined coconut oil
When I put Nutiva extra virgin, cold pressed coconut oil in a cast iron skillet on near lowest heat, it smokes. Is that highly visible white vapor I'm seeing actually not smoke? Can someone convince me this stuff is safe to cook with?
Hi, I like coconut oil with buckwheat pancakes and my dog really loves it on his dog-food. He woofs it down. :)
Thanks,this was very helpfull. Good work!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful :)
Also a great skin moisturizer after I shave.
Solid coconut oil appears like ghee or butter.
It is a common hair oil actually in India. It is used in cooking but not commonly.
I'm so used to hearing loads of BS every time I watch/read something on the internet about health, but wow, she really knows what's she talking about. Very impressed.
I've always wanted to love it, but never really loved the taste. I'm yet to cook with it and see if the taste is overpowering or not. Thanks for the tips. How much should I use when cooking?
My local grocery story doesn't have it and I got a ride to a bigger grocery store with a healthy food section and they were all out!!!!!! Reahhh!! I have a gut now! I need healthy oils!
I use for all my frying, add it to my smoothies. One of my favorite things is to add it the flour instead of butter for making homemade buttermilk biscuits. Ty for the video.. new sub..................;0
I used it alot i love it it helps with my hair skin is amazing
I use Dr. Bronner extra virgin coconut oil. I get at my local health food store or at Amazon
The saturated bit does worry me and I've heard dieticians suggesting against it, but I'll look into it more. I love using it for hair though :D My go-to cooking oil is rapeseed oil as it has a high smoke point (higher than coconut oil I think) and rich in omegas (in which coconut oil isn't, but I guess you cannot have everything in one oil) :)
rapeseed oil is a poison
+expialidocious if any dietician ever suggest against coconut oil in ANY form, they need to reconsider their profession !
+bowler8 You are right. Poisoned by Monsanto with deadly GMO,s
Great presentation. Love ❤️ it.
Yes, some brands recommend it. I don't like to though because it's hard as heck to get out... then again you may burn an extra 50 calories that way :D
That's a great breakfast you make, but I substitute the salt with chia seeds!
I watched alot of vids about coconut oil and they all said EVOO is BAD for cooking, yes use for salad dressing, the composition changes when it heats up and adds free radicals into your body... so stick with Coconut
oil for cooking
Awesome Dani! Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been using coconut oil for years and for many of the uses that you recommended. I knew it was some good stuff. :D
Thank you, great vids and tips!
Well I'm still learning about coconut oil, but the saturated fats in coconut oil are the good kind because they contain MCT's
I make coconut flour coconut oil fried chicken. Also make fried plantains
I am really enjoying your videos!
To cook with? Yes... you definitely can
It also can be used in Smoothies
Just got me some coconut oil! It taste incredible in eggs! Yup giving up butter for good now.
my mom uses it insted of butter on toast , and rice she cooks her chicken in it she uses it for everything
