I loved coconut oil in mine when I was doing them. SO yummy. I also used chia seeds which get bigger in your tummy and fill you up more. Or so the legend goes. I choose to believe I have a massive Chia pet growing in my belly.

Aims, did you melt the coconut oil into liquid first, or would that be pointless and silly, since I'm going to toss it into a blender with cold milk and frozen fruit, thus re-solidifying it?

I just spooned it out and threw it in. There were a couple of times it went in liquid because it was summer and it melted and it made no difference.

Did it change the texture of the smoothie noticeably? (I'm only asking because the green smoothies link that Jilli posted has a page that talks about coconut oil in a general way, and mentions adding it to smoothies, and says it could give the smoothie a funky texture.)

I never thought it changed the texture overmuch.

My very favorite - and most filling - smoothie had spinach, strawberries, peanut butter, whey protein, chia seeds, coconut oil, and chocolate almond milk.

Mine is spinach, frozen berry medley, milk (cow variety), flax seed, and whey protein. I figure some coconut oil is probably a good idea, for various health reasons. I'll have to try that in my next one.

I've had similar smoothies for breakfast two days running now. I MISS MY BUTTERED ROLL SO MUCH I COULD DIE.

I put coconut oil (and turmeric) in my bone broth for breakfast every morning. It makes it velvety and, as was mentioned, makes me feel super full until far into the day.

I'm loving it.

The other day, I made a loaf of coconut flour, coconut oil, egg and flax seed 'bread' that ended up being tasty. In fact, a tiny slice of it with chili or soup makes me feel MUCH more full than crackers or chips used to.

I'm all "hallelujah!" today, 'cause it turns out I can eat meatloaf! Woo! I mashed it into my mashed potatoes last night, and it was the yummiest meal I'd ever had.

That is very exciting! And you can make all different kinds of meatloaf -- chicken, beef, pork, lamb...
