Since many recipes require some type of fat (i.e. oil or butter) choosing the best option for your lifestyle is important. Coconut Oil can be a good alternative to butter and vegetable oil. Keeping a jar of Coconut oil in the pantry can be your go to ingredient in all dishes from frying to baking. Think about how streamlined your kitchen can become. I've used this coconut in my banana bread, scones and cookies. I feel better about eating my treats knowing that I have used coconut oil.
Tropical Traditions offers100% Gold Label Coconut Oil. From frying to baking, Coconut oil can replaced traditional vegetable oils.Tropical Traditions has over 400 recipes on its website that use coconut oil. From cookies to chicken, there is a recipe for every flavor profile and preference.

Chocolate Almond Coconut Bars
Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 (3 oz) bar dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups medjool dates
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 4 heaping tablespoons almond butter
1. First grind up the almonds and chocolate together until fine– but not too fine.
2. Leave half of the almond-chocolate mixture in the food processor and set the other half aside.
3. Add half a teaspoon of sea salt, 2 cups of
dates,1/2 cup shredded coconut and 2 heaping tablespoons of almond
butter and process until combined. Transfer into a large bowl.
4. Now process the remaining chocolate-almond mixture, sea salt, dates, coconut and almond butter. Add to the large bowl.
5. Wet your hands, further combine the mixture, and
press firmly into a parchment lined 13×9 pan. Let the parchment hang
over the ends so that you can lift the bars out.
6. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Lift the bars out of the pan and slice into desired size.
