Skinny & Co. sent us some Coconut Oil to review!
We were not compensated for this post, just sent product. All opinions are our own. Here's some info about the benefits of Skinny Coconut Oil from their website:
Health Benefits Of Skinny Coconut Oil
Metabolism
Due
to its high concentration of MCFAs, Skinny speeds up metabolism.
Because they are so easily digested, MCFAs are immediately converted to
energy, helping maintain a healthy weight. When looking at cultures that
eat a coconut-rich diet, we find they are lean and obesity is rare.
Even using coconut oil instead of unsaturated oils, such as corn, soy,
bean, and canola can help aid in weight loss.Brain Clarity
Coconut
oil provides an alternative fuel to glucose for the brain. This fuel,
known as ketones, encourages the healthy execution of important cerebral
tasks. Ketones are highly neuro-protective, which leads to improved
memory, cognition and attention. Ketones may also help curb cognitive
decline in old age.Heart Health
Containing
greater than 50% lauric acid, Skinny promotes a healthy cardiovascular
system. The healthy saturated fat content has shown to protect heart
cells, improve the function of the thyroid and help normalize
cholesterol levels.Immune System
Skinny
is the earth’s richest source of a special fat called lauric acid. Also
found in a mother’s milk, lauric acid helps form the immune system and
protects the health of newborns. Replacing processed vegetable oils with
MCFA-rich coconut oil promotes lifelong healthy immune function. This
nutritious MCFA is found in infant formulas, tube feedings, and is
commonly used by physicians to help patients obtain optimal health.Blood Sugar
MCFAs
in Skinny help maintain healthy insulin and blood sugar levels.
Processed quickly by the liver, Skinny provides natural, long lasting
energy and is much more effective than sugars, grains, and
carbohydrates.

Our Review:
We LOVED it! We added it to our peanut butter toast, oatmeal, smoothies, and even stir fry! It gave our food a slight coconut flavor, that tasted delicious. It was also a great way to include more healthy fats into our day and it just plain tastes good!
We also made some healthy "energy bites" with only pb, coconut oil, and oats! All you have to do is melt about a cup of pb and a tbsp of coconut oil in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, and then mix in the oats with your bare hands and form into balls. EASY AND DELICIOUS! They are perfect pre-workout fuel or a snack!
