Coconut oil has become increasingly common in recent days. The exotic oil has so many benefits for the human body, especially when it has been obtained by cold pressing! We tend to believe that it is made for the skin and the hair, but it can be used for other purposes too. Here are 3 interesting ways to use coconut oil!
The exotic coffee
Commonly referred to as “Bulletproof coffee” in English, this exotic coffee is delicious!
It is THE hot drink to adopt if you need all your energy in the morning, if you need to concentrate on a project, if you need to control your hunger and if you like delicious drinks. To make this special coffee, you will need:

- 1 teaspoon of butter.
Mix everything in a blender for 45 seconds and drink the coffee right away. Coconut oil will add flavour to your coffee and you don’t even have to add sugar! Plus, you can drink it every day, provided you only take it in the morning. This drink is particularly effective for those who wish to lose weight. Some people add a pinch of cinnamon powder to give it a little more flavour. Above all, drink this hot coffee to retain all of its properties.
A light mayonnaise
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to consume coconut oil, you can even use it to make a good mayonnaise.
Commercial mayonnaise often contains soybean oil and added sugar. The good news is, it’s easy to make your own mayonnaise with coconut oil or olive oil. If you like good sauces, choose coconut oil and here are the ingredients that you need:
- 1 whole egg,
- 2 egg whites,
- 1 tablespoon of mustard,
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice,
- 1/2 tablespoon of salt,
- 1 pinch of pepper,
- 1 cup liquid cold pressed coconut oil
Place the eggs, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Mix briefly for a few seconds. With the blender running on low speed, start adding the oil very slowly. Start with drops and continue until the flow is even. It will take a few minutes, you have to be patient. Keep stirring until all the oil is used up and the mixture is thick and creamy.
Healthy teeth whitening
Who said that you absolutely have to go to a dentist when you want to have white teeth?
Before brushing your teeth with regular toothpaste, prepare a naturally whitening formula with coconut oil and a little baking soda. The anti-fungal properties of baking soda combine perfectly with the oil to fight buildup and reveal a brighter smile. You’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
Dip your toothbrush in this special ointment and then brush your teeth with it for 5 minutes before using your favourite toothpaste. Do this once a day for 7 days and you will quickly find out how effective the trick is. Additionally, coconut oil facilitates the removal of dental plaque and improves gum health, which in turn makes the enamel appear whiter. Above all, choose virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil to achieve this trick.
