Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil {Giveaway Closed}

by Kelly M

Good news! Your Monday just got 117% better. You can make a vat of Tropical Traditions coconut oil come your way for FREE.

I like free swag, don’t you? Of course you do. You’re human.

Not only is this any swag, but we’re talking a giant stash of the best coconut oil around. Tropical Traditions is a family-run company that uses strictly the highest quality ingredients in their products.

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:

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.”

One very lucky Foodie Fiasco reader (I’m talking to you!) will win a 1 Quart (32 FL oz.) glass jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, which has a retail value of $50.00!

Here are some of my favorite recipe in which you can use coconut oil (sub in coconut oil for applesauce in most of these recipes unless noted otherwise).

Homemade Healthy Samoas (Vegan, Gluten/Grain Free, Low Carb, Paleo)

World’s Healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies (Use coconut oil instead of applesauce. Vegan, Gluten/Grain Free, Low Carb, Paleo)

Amazing Low Carb Brownies (Use coconut oil instead of applesauce. Vegan, Gluten/Grain Free, Low Carb, Paleo)

Homemade Healthy Crescent Rolls (Use coconut oil instead of applesauce. Vegan, Gluten/Grain Free, Low Carb, Paleo)

Homemade Healthy Tagalongs (Use coconut oil instead of applesauce. Vegan, Gluten/Grain Free, Low Carb, Paleo)

Homemade Healthy Tagalongs- Better than the original, and only 25 calories each!

my fave use for coconut oil is non-baking! it’s as a moisturizer, lip balm, makeup remover, hand salve.. the list goes on!! i make homemade facial and baby wipes with coconut oil and tea tree oil.. it’s phenomenal because it’s subtly scented, antibacterial and wonderfully gentle and moisturizing. LOVE coconut oil!! xx

I use it in baking, in sauteing (it crisps tofu like none other), and on my skin for healing any dryness. Great stuff!!

63 Hope March 19, 2013 at 7:06 am

I love using it to pan-fry chicken! It makes the whole kitchen smell amaaazing

81 Myra Barney March 23, 2013 at 2:24 pm: Oops… I forgot to say this: I put it in everything imaginable! But I usually use it in Homemade Nutri Grain bars and I put it on my homemade bread sometimes…giving it a wonderful coconuty tang! Kelly…you are wonderful! I tried your coconut pizza crust and topped it with your homemade pesto sauce….YUM!!! I can finally eat a pizza crust that isn’t made out of nuts! I LOVED that pizza and ate the entire thing!

98 Grace March 21, 2013 at 7:18 am

Does it help with hair growth? Or what are the benefits of putting it on your hair? And how do you use it?

Thanks,
Grace

99 Angela March 23, 2013 at 10:31 am

Hi Grace!
I just put a small amount in the palm of my hands and then I run my fingers through my hair. I have coarse frizzy hair, coconut oil makes it really soft and reduces frizz. For hair growth I would recommend castor oil though

100 Grace March 26, 2013 at 10:04 pm: Ohhh I see! That’s something I’ll keep in mind. Thanks for the tips!

I like using it in baking and pancakes! But the best is in larabar (dates!) style desserts and raw desserts of all kinds! Raw+coconut oil=Best Stuff Ever! (I adore experimenting!)

Thanks Kelly! Your recipes look delish as always! I’d love to try this new brand of coconut oil in my cooking!

I have used coconut oil only twice before with my roommate. She recommends using it in her stir-fry most of the time. I am hoping that I figure out working with it in baking so I can make myself a birthday came with it soon!

I stir a spoon full into my oatmeal every morning, saute veggies in it, put it on my hands to moisturize, put in on my son’s very dry, but acne prone forehead. Also use it to “Oil pull” most mornings. Love Tropical Traditions products!!

130 Kelly M March 30, 2013 at 9:28 am: I’ll have to remember the acne trick! Not that I have any as a fifteen year old. No, nothing like that.

I love using coconut oil in baking! In two months, I’m participating in a Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society, and I am needed to fundraise like crazy. As part of meetig our individual and collective fundraising goals, my team will be presenting various opportunities to gather donations at our booth during the event, and for one of my contributions I’m baking and selling my absolute favorite (healthy!) graham cracker cookie recipe that calls for coconut oil. It’s the perfect time to educate people about healthy coconut fats, am I right? Plus, I love cutting the cookies into heart shapes! The thing is, my budget is super tight—not something coconut oil favors very much. The coconut oil from the giveaway would be a massive help! Plus, any money that would’ve been used buying coconut oil could instead become a direct donation towards my team’s fundraising. Not such a bad trade-off, huh?

143 Jessica C March 30, 2013 at 12:41 pm

(still the Relay for Life girl—my spacebar is quite the troubled key, so I had to copy and paste a space every time I needed one in not only the previous comment, but also the next few. I hope all of my pasting lends me some luck!)
