Which cooking oils are actually healthy? What cooking oils should you avoid? And what healthy fats should you keep in your kitchen?
In this episode we’re taking the confusion out of healthy cooking oils and fats and making it practical. I’m sharing the fats and oils I personally use in my kitchen, why I choose them, and one simple pantry swap you can make this week.
Last week, we talked about why your body needs fat. This week, we’re putting that knowledge into action and looking at the difference between natural fats and highly processed oils.
Some of the oils and topics we’ll talk about in this episode:
- What I look for when choosing healthy cooking oils
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Unrefined and expeller-pressed coconut oil
- Flax seed
- Butter and ghee
- Lard and bacon fat
- Beef tallow
- Avocado mayonnaise
- Sesame oil
- Highly processed seed oils
- Why I avoid soybean, corn and canola oil
- How to make a simple healthy pantry swap

THIS WEEK’S PANTRY SWAP
This week, with what we’ve learned, revisit your pantry and may I encourage you to swap out just one to start or go all-in with any oils or fats that might not measure up to God’s design.
