Try this tasty variation on your crumbed Chicken Schnitzel and Vegies!
Gluten and Dairy Free! Cooked in the wondrous Coconut oil!
Coconut oil is made up of Medium chain Triglycerides. MCT's can increase your metabolism, raise your basal body temperature, promote weight loss and increase energy.
Furthermore, over 50% of the MCTs are Lauric acid. Lauric acid is an essential fatty acid that is utilized by your body to build and maintain your immune system. All of these factors combined have a positive effect on the thyroid!
