You are so sweet!! As far as replacing your morning coconut oil, here is what I do each morning:

For a super quick source of energy, I make a morning smoothie with:

1/2 tsp+ matcha (finely ground green tea leaves, Japan origin)
1 cup almond milk (I make mine from scratch)
1 handful spinach
1 TBS honey

Blend in high speed blender (vitamix) pour over ice. This is a really great get-up-and-go drink, without the caffienne gitters & tummy ache coffee gives me. Also, this is an awesome appetite supressant, you won't be hungry til well after lunch time. I often sneak by forgetting lunch, and then eat something super simple and feel satisfied easily.

I also really like raw cacao powder. It has tons of magnesium & antioxidants, and some caffienne too. It has get-up-and-go, and the boost of magnesium makes me feel good!

My cacao drink:
1 cup almond or sesame milk
1 TBS raw cacao (raw cocoa powder)
1/2+ tsp cinnamon
2 medjool dates or maple syrup
Blend in high speed blender with ice added at the end to create a "milkshake".

I'm now a KICK AS (and Kick IBD) success story!! After going low starch Paleo to heal my gut, I can now eat nearly all starches, grains & foods without inflammation, flare-ups, or pain. I used a modified SCD diet approach (minus dairy! plus cacao ♥). Cheers to healing & thriving again! I blog at http://www.forestandfauna.com/about/
