Coconut oil is a product derived from the coconut.
It's frequently used as a topical moisturizer and can help make your skin look and feel great.
Using it in your smoothies is a great way to get some good fats in you and add a slight coconut-flavor to your drink. A teaspoon or tablespoon is plenty for pretty much any drink and you can add it to pretty much any recipe without ruining the flavor.
