Fadi

Sorry Sticky, but I did not see any smiling or laughing icon beside your comment so I took it for what it says. No, I didn't think you were having a go at me or anyone else for that matter Sir; all's cool !

Hey Fadi,

I got some coconut oil from the health food shop the other day - it came in a little jar and is like wax lol - I just got a tablespoon and leveled it out and ate it - is this how you do it? - I don't mind doing it this way.

Fadi

At what temperature does coconut oil go solid?

It goes solid at about 24°C. As it cools from the liquid state, (26°C and above) it forms small "pearls" which join together until the whole product is solid at 24°C. When cooling faster in a fridge the pearls are much larger and the oil can appear more translucent. I would love nothing more than to be able to include it in my protein/carb shakes but it's simply impossible (unless of course you don't mind having "pearls")! To anyone here who has liquid coconut oil that remains in a liquid state at all times, please do your good self a huge favour and throw it away immediately! Off topic, (and in exactly the opposite direction now) is for anyone who has a polyunsaturated oil that is solid at all times (as in margarine for example), would be wise to throw that disease causing rubbish away immediately also.

So yes, what you're doing is fine until the weather warms up a bit and the dynamite becomes liquid again. I've just copied and pasted a small portion of what I had written on another forum re coconut oil for you.

Thanks mate - should I keep it in the fridge?

Fadi

Only if you've got a hammer and chisel ! No PS, no fridge is required here my friend .

I think I am going to have this as part of my cheat on Sunday morning (will have the rest of my cheat sat night - dinner - pasta hmmm)

2 packs muscle milk
couple tablespoons honey
around 200g peanut butter
heap of choc/van ice cream
maybe abit of choc topping

So since the last time, I've refined the shake a bit more - added some more flavours and Hey Presto! I have a thick, creamy, berrylicious shake full of good calories.

Heres the reviewed recipe; I take this morning and night. I use just oats/protein morning tea/afternoon tea and a large chicken/vege serving at lunch.

1x Scoop WPC (30g)
2x Scoops Oatmass (60g)
1x cup frozen berries (seasons choice is good! Rasberries, cranberries etc)
400ml low fat milk (If you want more of a creamier taste, use FC milk)
1x tablespoon natural honey
1x large banana
1x handful of ice cubes
2x Raw Eggs

I normally make a double serving in the morning. Mixing the above makes approx 1.3L of liquid. I removed the milo as it was too grainy and tasted like ass, and replaced it with natural honey that adds a bit of sweetness to the mix. Add more ice cubes to make things a little cooler and more slushy-like.

I've experimented with all Berries, and they're all equally good. I've blended apple halves into the mix before also - this is nice but not necessary if you're short on time.

NOTE: Your shake will be a HEAP sweeter if you use a flavour sachet with the fitness central WPC. But if you dont mind a mild oaty taste, i'd skip the flavour sachet as the same flavour can become sickening very quickly. Alternatively - just use half or quarter of the flavour sachet

Let me know what you think..

While your at it may as well throw in some natural yoghurt.

Anyone looking for coconut oil can get it from Proffesional whey .com.
I can cocur with Fadi that this stuff is truly amazing and tates great. I have a jar in my desk at work and just spoon a teaspoon out at about 3pm every day. Highly recomend it
