The Belles are super excited about this coconut-inspired giveaway as it features two of our very favorite companies: Tropical Traditions & So Delicious! Keep reading to find out how you can win So Delicious dairy free products and Tropical Traditions Organic Palm Shortening!

Tropical Traditions Organic Palm Shortening :
Tropical Traditions Palm shortening is derived from palm oil. Palm shortening is palm oil that has some of its unsaturated fats removed, giving it a very firm texture, and high melting point- perfect for baking and deep frying! Palm oil does NOT require hydrogenation; therefore, it contains no trans fatty acids! T ropical Traditions Organic Palm Shortening comes from small scale family farms in South America. These farmers are certified by ProForest, which ensures that they meet strict social, environmental and technical criteria.

I LOVE cooking and baking with Tropical Traditions Organic Palm Shortening! I use a TON of shortening and when I saw that Tropical Traditions carries Organic Palm Shortening I was beyond excited! First- I love Tropical Traditions, Second- I love ORGANIC, and third- I have been wanting to try palm shortening forever. I have been seeing a lot of recipes calling for it as opposed to traditional (yucky) shortening. The finished product (mostly icing and baked goods for me) have turned out fabulously! Such a delicious flavor, bakes perfectly, and is such a better option than regular shortening. Tropical Traditions offers a huge line of products including coconut flour, Canadian raw honey, coconut hair oil (which both DH & I use and love!), coconut peanut butter, whole grains, organic meats & eggs, and so much MORE! All of their products are environmentally conscience. I love supporting such a wonderful environmentally friendly company!

When the opportunity presented itself to review So Delicious Dairy Free products, the Belles were super-excited. We were both already familiar with their line of products and love that they offer a healthy alternative to dairy. Most of their products are coconut milk based, but they also offer some soy based products as well. We love to use So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut milk when preparing our breakfast smoothies to start our day off right. But the goodness doesn’t stop there. So Delicious Dairy Free also offers coconut creamer for our morning coffee (YUM), yogurts, sorbets and ice cream (DOUBLE YUM). For a decadent treat, try using So Delicious Dairy Free Chocolate Coconut Milk in your breakfast smoothie. So Delicious is the perfect dairy alternative for those looking to cut or decrease their dairy intake and the perfect delicious way to start your day. Check out the huge variety of So Delicious dairy free products .
Some EXCITING new products are their new Greek-style yogurts (HIGH protein and delicious) and their new Coconut Nog and Chocolate Mint holiday beverages will be hitting  stores in a few weeks- I can not tell you how excited I am to try BOTH of those. YUM!!!! So Delicious offers a huge variety of yummy frozen treats- I love their Organic Mini’s Fudge Bars. Super yummy and  only 70 calories. The perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Another favorite product is their So Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk Beverage. I love the strawberry mixed blended with berry or vanilla protein powder and  like a milkshake- yum! The Belles love that So Delicious offers so many dairy free options for those that can not tolerate or are cutting back on dairy! frozen strawberries. It seriously tastes like a milkshake but without the fat, calories, & guilt! We love that So Delicious makes frozen treats, cultured products, and beverages DAIRY FREE for all to enjoy!

  77. I would really like to try the Palm Shortening. I try to only use healthy fats — Coconut oil & butter for frying and baking, and olive oil for salad vinaigrettes. Thus far, I’ve been using butter or coconut oil for baking, but I think there is probably a gap there, where I do need to have shortening available, and a healthy one, at that (I didn’t even know about Palm shortening until this giveaway!). So this is so exciting!
