Melted or solid?

Most likely solid. Coconut oil melts at such a low temperature that it will liquify in your mouth. I sometimes eat spoonfuls right before an intense workout.

It depends on the ambient temperature. I prefer it solid, but in the summer that is not always possible unless you keep it in the fridge. Liquid likes to dribble over the edge of the spoon, and then I have more work to do when it is laundry time.

Both! Or mixed with some cocoa powder, coarse sea salt and a teeny bit of honey. Put that in the fridge then try not to eat it all at the same time. I think I got this idea from someone here but without the honey. Sorry, I can't remember who.

Coconut oil is liquid at 76F or above and solid below that temperature, so in the average household it can sit out on the counter and remain solid. Usually it is a fairly soft solid unless you fire it into the fridge.

Remember to use a clean spoon and don't double dip!

Coconut oil + coconut butter + cinnamon + cocoa powder (no honey or sweetener needed)

Put mix in ice cube tray and let solidify in freezer or fridge.

Don't eat them all at once.

Thanks for asking this question! I had been wondering myself because I'm feeling like I'm not getting enough fat and was wondering exactly how to supplement with coconut oil. The answers are all very helpful. :)

@kimi same... There was a "fake" nutella recipe on the site a while ago.

========================

Fake Nutella:

2/3 full jar of Coconut Oil

1/4-1/3 c almond butter, just for the nutty flavor

2-3 TBS 100% high quality cocoa powder, make sure you spend the money to get the good stuff

1-2 tsp honey, just enough to sweeten slightly, but you should taste the nut and chocolate before any sweetness.

Mix well and store in fridge.

When you have emotional cravings, or need an afternoon snack, a spoonful does the trick. I also find it tastes more "naughty" and therefore I need less to satisfy my cravings.

================= That is what I kept in Evernote Just made a great variation with what I had in my fridge.

I prefer to eat whole coconut, bonus is the delicous coconut water :) I use oils only when cooking, whole coconuts are cheaper.
