No-Bake Coconut Oil, Flaxseed Cookies
These are a 3-ingredient, 5-minute, no-bake wonder! They’re healthy as cookies go—filled with good fats, filling yet light, not too sweet but sweet enough…I really enjoy them!
No-Bake, Coconut Oil, Flaxseed Cookies
Servings: 4 cookies
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Directions:
Grind flax seeds in a food processor or blender. (I used toasted flax which will gave the cookies a slight peanut buttery flavor, even though there’s no actual PB in the recipe).
Add remaining ingredients except raisins. Blend/grind again.
Take out and mold into 4 cookies.
Optional: Drizzle cookies with syrup and garnish with raisins!
Other options: garnishing with nuts, fresh or dried fruit, chocolate or carob chips, nut butter, cashew cream, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batch, you name it, go for it…
And if you make a double batch, they wrap up really well for out-n-about snacks. Enjoy!

Chocolate, Coconut, Banana Protein Shake
Author’s Note – If you workout, then you probably already know the importance of taking protein powder to help “refuel” after a strenuous workout. Taking just the same thing all the time though gets boring, so I’ve come up with some different ways to jazz up a regular old protein shake.
Triple Coconut Rice
Three coconut ingredients plus rice!
Triple Coconut Rice
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients:
- 14 ounces coconut milk*
- 1 tablespoon Gold Label Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 cup dried, unsweetened coconut
Directions:
Bring coconut milk, oil, and water to a slow boil. Add rice and dried coconut, bring back to a boil, turn heat down to simmer, and cover with a lid, leaving a small opening to vent. Stir briefly after 10 minutes.
Continue cooking until rice is tender and done; add more water/coconut milk, if needed. Fluff rice and serve.
This goes great with seafood.
Tip: If you want to make this into dessert, add 6 teaspoons of sugar when bringing the coconut milk and water to a slow boil.
*For the freshest coconut milk, make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)

Homemade Matzah
Sarah’s Notes: Since this is a bread recipe, you can play around with the whole wheat flour amount, using as much or as little as you want. Just keep in mind that the more whole wheat flour you use, the more the water may have to be increased.
