Coconut oil has some potential benefits in & on the body. It may decrease belly fat in exercisers and it’s a powerful hair conditioner & skin moisturizer.
But here’s the issue: It’s messy. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature so it’s often a pain to scrape it out of the jar & then once you melt it, it gets so drippy down the side of the jar.
SOLUTION: Make COCONUT OIL CUBES! They are mess-free & portion-controlled!
How to make cubes:
1) Liquify. Put coconut oil jar in warm water so it turns liquid (melting point = 76 degrees F).
2) Measure. Put a HALF tablespoon into each cube of an ice cube tray. Note: Flexible silicone trays work best.
3) Freeze. Pop tray in the freezer for 5 mins to set.
4) Store. Remove the cubes & keep them in a container in the fridge until you need a single-serving of coconut oil. They are 60 calories each.
