Hello! Militza here from Little Green Dot. Thanks a million for downloading this ebook! What started with tinkering with recipes in my kitchen, to hosting a workshop and now creating this ebook - learning and sharing has become my passion. And this project is so close to my heart. I really hope that you enjoy it!

This ebook is all about coconut oil - and how to use it for our skin, hair and food. But the broader message is about simplifying. Learning to get the most out of our products and using simple, natural ingredients to care for ourselves from the inside out!

COCONUT OIL FOR FOOD

Coconut oil is a very unique form of oil - easily metabolized, it’s converted quickly into energy rather than being stored as fat. It’s incredibly high in Lauric Acid, a

powerful antioxidant found in breast milk, which helps our body fight off bacteria, pathogens, viruses and illness.

Coconut oil is the best oil to cook with. Because it is so high in antioxidants, it resists becoming rancid and has a very long shelf life, unlike other unrefined oils. It also has

a very high smoke point, and will not break down or form toxins when cooking.

Oh yeah, and it’s delicious!

ingredients: 4 cups oats1.5 cups coconut flakes1 cup chopped nuts1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup dried mango 1/3 cup maple syrup, 4 tbsp coconut oil1/4 tsp salt

directions: Preheat your oven to 175°C. Combine wet ingredients and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, stir then, finish another 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven. Do not stir until fully cooled!

granola makes a perfect breakfast or snack. In a pretty jar - it makes a beautiful gift!

Coconut oil is an emollient, skin nourisher and proven antiseptic & anti-microbial. It will moisturize your skin, nourish it, protect it and leave you

feeling smooth and soft!

Coconut oil is also amazing for the hair - it is unique in that when applied to your hair, it can actually penetrate the hair shaft, moisturizing from within. As an antibacterial, it’s great for the scalp too, helping with

skin issues that cause dandruff.

And, it smells so yummy!

NATURAL CREAM DEODORANT

The skin around our underarms is incredibly thin, and can absorb 100% of what you put on it - the good

and the bad!

tip: baking soda can cause a rash on some people. It’s completely normal - if this happens reduce the amount of baking soda and increase the amount of arrowroot. Once a week, spritz

a blend of 1 part apple cider vinegar, 2 parts water to your underarms. This help rebalance your natural pH to keep the skin

from becoming red or inflamed.

make a strong brew, at least 8 hours to benefit from the herbs natural properties
