New Year’s Coconut Oil Giveaway

January 3, 2013 By Alex Curtis, RD LDN

This Giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who entered! The winner is Angela T, Congratulations! 

Happy New Year Everyone!

What better way to start 2013 off right than a giveaway?

 

 

Tropical Traditions offered me to review and giveaway a 32 oz. jar of Virgin Coconut Oil to one of my readers. I use virgin coconut oil for all my baked goods because of the high smoke point, and because I love the sweet, coconut flavor. Here are some of my favorite recipes that use coconut oil:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get Up and Go Muffins                                                  Oatmeal Raisin Bizookies

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Butter Cups                                                                 Raw Coconut-Iced Bark

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grain-Free Lemon Poppyseed Muffins                      Lavender Orange Hazelnut Scones

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review:

I liked this coconut oil because it had a strong coconut flavor. Coconut oil’s flavor can vary from brand to brand, some having strong coconut scent and others having barely-noticeable coconut scent. This brand may not be for those who are not huge coconut fans.

This Giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who entered! The winner is Angela T, Congratulations!

Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil - 32 oz.Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!

Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

You can also watch the video they produced about Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil: http://www.youtube.com/embed/4h6eycjf29M

Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

    I signed up for the newsletter from Tropical Traditions. We started using coconut oil in 2012, and have only tried two brands. It was definitely a learning curve, but I have already grown to love it! Your blog was the very first I found in looking for new ways to eat less sugar, and it sparked a lot of research on my part. Thank you for your efforts!

    Hmm, looks like I just missed it. Will the promo or one like it be rolling around again? Seems to have piqued the interest of your readership…

      Sorry you missed it! I’m not doing another one anytime soon, but check out the manufacturers website. You can probably ask them about their current promos.
