Remineralizing Coconut Oil Pulling Chews Recipe
Oil pulling is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to support oral and dental health. I recommend pulling each morning before eating or drinking anything. There’s no need to stress about it, either. Just 1-3 minutes makes a difference!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
- Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: Makes about ¾ cups or 72 half teaspoon portions 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cold-pressed Organic Coconut Oil (gently warm to a liquid if necessary)
- 1/4 cup Organic Avocado Oil
- 1/4 cup Xylitol
- 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
- 18 capsules L-Arginine (contents removed from capsules)
- Mini Ice Tray
- Glass Jar (with lid for storage in the fridge)
Instructions
- Mix coconut oil with avocado oil in a medium-sized bowl, set aside.
- In a separate bowl combine the xylitol, baking soda and l-arginine, mix with a fork until well combined.
- Slowly add the powders into the oil, mixing with a fork.
- Fill ice cube trays in 1/2 teaspoon portions, mix often as you fill the tray to prevent powders from settling to the bottom of the bowl.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely hardened.
- Transfer the chews to a jar and store in the fridge.
Notes
Tips
– Use these chews after drinking something acidic like coffee or wine to help prevent staining.
– If you struggle with coffee breath, pulling for 5-10 minutes can minimize coffee odors—no brushing required!
– If you want to brush after an acidic meal or drink, wait at least 20-30 minutes, since acids weaken enamel, making it vulnerable to a toothbrush.
How to Oil Pull
After brushing and flossing, gently swish, pull, and suck the oil through your teeth; the chews will quickly melt in your mouth once you begin. Go slow and don’t work too hard, pulling for about 1-3 minutes.
