Kelly saysOooh, I have to try #39.
Mindy saysHow did you eat it? I have dry chia seeds. Did you grind them up with coconut oil? I want to try it but I’m not sure how to get it down without feeling gross.- Kelly saysI just mixed whole seeds with the oil. I may try grinding them up next time, because it was a bit… crunchy. And a little gross. There’s a mention above about freezing it in pill-sized pieces and swallowing it; I may try that as well.
Sarah Laird Fultz saysDid you feel energetic? What happens if you take it at night? That note made me feel a little nervous about even taking it during the day.
Carol Collison saysit will give u energy so u don’t wanna do that at night that’s why
Jennifer saysMaybe it would be better to soak the seeds in a bit of water first and then stir in the coconut oil in to make a pudding? I’m addicted to drinking chia seeds with thai young coconut water! (Rice milk is really nice too)
Loretta saysIs it better to grind up the chia seeds for maximum absorption?
Mari Elayne Moody saysyou can add it to smoothies, coffee, on a salad, replace vegetable oil with coconut oil … Its good in a smoothie, and in coffee, if you imulsify it first its just like creamer. Thats how I ingest it. Good Luck on finding new uses for it
Lori Leathers saysThe first coconut oil I bought had no flavor at all, saving that for cooking. The next I got was Betterbody Extra Virgin and tasted like eating a Mounds candy bar. I got to where I could tolerate eating a spoonful of it. I have a bad oil gag reflex. The only thing I can stand to stick in something oily or have oily is bread sticks…can dunk them in garlic butter all day long! But seafood in butter…yuck…oil & vinegar on a salad…yuck. If I buy a viniagrette dressing I let it separate and pour off the oil!! I tried putting it in tea and nearly barfed. Then I read about the difference in how the oilswere processed and realize the unrefined is the best for internal use. I ordered 2 gallons of Tropical Traditions Gold on sale. It has a totally different smell and not so great taste. The only way I have been able to get it chocked down is to get it warm and pour it over sweetened coconut flakes and let them sit & soak until it solidifies again. Then I can get it down and it’s almost enjoyable. I really want to get to where I am taking a couple of spoonfuls before each meal. Any other suggestions on how I can get it down that might be a bit more healthy than the sweetened coconut flakes?
Coco W saysI’ve just bought a bottle of 100% virgin coconut oil only because my friend did and told me its multi-purpose.
– never purposely consumed coconut oil, but I’m just thking of putting it in the clear capsules which you can get from pharmacies. (if you feel sick of swallowoil but still wanna take it without other food/drink)
– Mix it into your cup of coffee or smoothies;
– Use it when baking cookies; or
– I’ve seen ppl mentioning freezing it, but I’m not sure whether it will start melting before it gets down your throat.
but yea, let’s try.
joellen saysI just added mine to yogurt yummy
Tabitha saysWhat I do is whip it with a few tablespoons of peanut butter and honey and eat it as a fruit dip. It tastes like a fluffy, nutty, coconuty caramel. It is SO delicious and that’s how I get my toddler to eat it too!
Penney saysI put the coconut oil on toast just as I would butter and I sprinkle cinnamon on top. I also have started the oil pulling and my mouth feels great just like after a teeth cleaning. Love it! I’ve been told not to do this for more than 20 mins, not sure why. I use organic, extra virgin coconut oil.
Anne saysI eat it with yogurt every morning. I use a fork to scrape the cold oil into shavings the size of oats and measure out how much I want. After I add it I then add some sort of whole grain granola-type crunchy goodness and whatever fruit. I have a scrambled egg and coffee and I am good to go!
- Anne saysI would like to drink it in my coffee but I’m not sure how to emulsify it with anything else liquid based. I tried melting it, adding it to the creamer and shaking it vigorously, but it still separated. Same with the butter in coffee. I also tried in oatmeal.
Catie saysPut it in a blender or whisk it!
Jamila M Hariri Wiley saysi was thinking the same.. debating on heating it slightly and doing quick shots
Carolan Ross saysI put chia seeds in yogurt, which I eat nearly every day.
Meek saysdo the chia seeds need to be soaked when mixing with the coconut oil? Or any other recipe?
Sabiah Love saysi found it disgusting when i started eating it too.. i know oil pull for 30mins a day as often as i can.. you could start by oilpuling and spitting it out, and work up to swallowing it or just try to swallow it quickly and have something tasty after.. you can also put it in a smoothie so you dont taste it at all.. your taste buds will become accustomed to it.
amanda shinkle saysYou should not drink the oil after pulling, it becomes full of toxins. Yuck
Kristy saysAgreed. Doesn’t ingesting the oil after pulling defeat the point of pulling, which is to draw toxins from your body and into the oil, which you then spit out?
Michael saysI’m confused, what is oil pulling? Is taking the seeds with the oil not safe?
Jann saysOil Pulling is when you put about a tablespoon of oil into your mouth and swish it around, for anything from a minute to 30 mins before spitting it out. It draws toxins out of your system via your mouth, and even breaks down plaque on your teeth. If you go online you can find a lot of testimonials of the benefits people have found from Oil Pulling, and also the different oils you can use.
Annie saysI don’t think Sabia was suggesting that anyone swallow after oil pulling. She was suggesting that the person above her try oil pulling first, where you spit the oil. Once she becomes accustomed to the taste/feel of oil in her mouth, she could move on to swallowing it immediately as a supplement (NOT after swishing).
Cava saysSabiah’s comment about swallowing coconut out after pulling defeats the purpose of the act.Oil Pulling is meant to remove toxins from the body – if you swallow it, you have just ingested all that
was meant to be spat out.
Duffy saysWhat utter nonsense! Toxins are removed by your liver. Swilling oil around the mouth might conceivably affect the flora, but will do nothing to these “toxins” whatever they may be.
Marlo saysNot nonsense at all. Research and find out about the long history of the ancient ayurvedic practice of oil pulling.
Jeff Martin saysAn ancient practise does not mean it is efficatious. Oil of any kind will not pull “toxins” out your body through mouth use. Get a grip. I use the oil for several things but not for my bad back.
Jocape saysI don’t think you are supposed to swallow after pulling CO.
jules saysi oil pull with a drop or two of lime essential oil mixed in it makes it a lot easier to look forward to!
Romina saysI would not recommend you to swallow the oil pull at all. Because you basically swallowed all the toxins and bacteria that the oil pull got out. You don’t want that stuff in your body at all.
Kathleen saysI have been researching oil pulling and came across advice to NOT swallow it because it pulls toxins from your mouth and body. Do you have any concerns about swallowing it?
Jane saysYou can make chocolate using coconut oil … I made it today using cocoa, maple syrup and I added some sesame seeds and chia seeds for a bit of texture. Delicious!
Beth saysIs this a dark or milk chocolate- like substitute? & which is healthier… dark chocolate, or this homemade mixture?

Um, pretty sure the maple syrup ruined any healthy benefits to this mixture.jacqui baker says
i chopped up a small portion of fruit ie nectrine or blueberries and mixed this through the coco ut oil and chia seedsJacqui Hawkins says
1 Tbsp coconut oil and 1 Tbsp of chia seeds? Instantly induces vomiting, I just tried it ~ I usually eat Q’ia. Its a blend of many different seeds (chia, hemp, etc) in my yogurt, my cereal, etc. much easier on the stomach, but also provides energy.
Candi says
LOL YOU made me laughgAudrey says
I have several questions. Can you put coconut oil all around the eye area, including upper and lower lids??? Will the brands at the grocery store do just as well??? Can you please send me some recipes for smoothies??? If the solid melts is it okay to put on your face in the liquid form??? Also, is this what you use, because looking at your picture you have beautiful skin??? What is your secret??? Thanks for your replies!!! Need fast answers, please.
