I have gained about 10 pounds in the last year. I&#8217;m slowly trying to change my diet so as not to actually DIET but make an entire lifestyle change. I&#8217;ve started drinking protein shakes when I don&#8217;t have time for breakfast or lunch; sometimes it makes a great snack.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to reduce my sugar and dairy intake, but not completely eliminate it; at least not yet. While searching for sugar alternative ideas, I decide to do a search for Coconut Oil Coffee and see if anyone used that to sweeten their Cup O&#8217; Joe. Lo and behold it&#8217;s a &#8220;Thing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem counter intuitive to use something as fattening as coconut oil in your coffee, but like avocado (which I do NOT LIKE) it&#8217;s a good fat that your body needs. So I&#8217;ve read.<\/p>\n<p>Let me start by saying I am beyond thrilled that I found out others were doing this and even happy that I read their tips first. It turns out that you need to BLEND it into your coffee or you will have a greasy mess.<\/p>\n<p>So how does it it taste?! AHHHHMAZING.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my new favorite.<br \/>\nHere is what I did<br \/>\n1 cup of hot brewed coffee<br \/>\n1 teaspoon &#8211; 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (find your personal preference)<br \/>\nPut in blender. Blend about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>I have plans to buy a magic bullet now, just for this.<\/p>\n<p>I will continue to research this and make sure it&#8217;s indeed healthy but for now I&#8217;m sold! Goodbye 1\/2 &amp; 1\/2 and sugar!<\/p>\n<p>Have you tried coconut oil coffee?<\/p>\n<p>How do you like your coffee.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7853 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-e1400534030334-834x1024.jpg\" alt=\"photo 1\" width=\"296\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-e1400534030334-834x1024.jpg 834w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-e1400534030334-244x300.jpg 244w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-e1400534030334-900x1104.jpg 900w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-e1400534030334.jpg 1007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140519-153729-56249780.jpg\" alt=\"20140519-153729-56249780.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7862 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cococoffee1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"553\" height=\"738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cococoffee1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cococoffee1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cococoffee1-900x1200.jpg 900w, http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cococoffee1.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just discovered coconut oil coffee.
