Simple and quick recipe with limited ingredients that can be eaten to boost energy, just be aware that this is a saturated "fat bomb." To get fancy, add in nuts (hazelnuts, almonds) toasted in the oven at 300F and then toast coconut flakes for 3-4 minutes (make sure they don't burn!). You can make this nut-free and substitute seeds or dried fruit. Disclaimer: Please read this study publication to make an informed decision about whether consuming coconut oil is right for you. Coconut oil is NOT for you if you have high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, or heart disease, or have risk-factors for any of those.
