Fats & Oils
Butter
Look for butter with minimal ingredients, and avoid varieties that contain added oils such as canola or sunflower, which are often found in spreadable versions.
If your butter is salted, simply omit the additional salt listed in the recipe.
To make a recipe dairy free, you can swap butter for an equal amount of coconut oil.
Coconut Oil
Choose virgin coconut oil which is mechanically extracted rather than by using potentially harmful chemicals.
Olive Oil
Choose extra virgin olive oil, which is minimally processed and is the oil squeezed or cold pressed from olives, and the highest in beneficial antioxidants.
MCT Oil
Fuel your day, manage your weight, and support your low carb lifestyle (especially if you’re fasting) with MCT Oil.
Choose a 100% MCT oil that is organic.
I recommend Melrose MCT Oil – it is often found in health food stores and some major supermarkets.
Avocado
Can’t find a ripe avocado? Avofresh is my go-to back up option. It's just real avocado with a hint of lemon to keep it fresh.
Frozen avocado is also a great affordable option to keep in your freezer to use in smoothies
