1 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp mint extract
1 tablespoon local organic honey
3-4 spinach leaves

Put all ingredients into your blender or Vitamix until thoroughly blended. Put contents into a frosting bag and drop onto Silpat or parchment sheets. Put in the freezer. After 30 minutes scrape into zip bags and store in the freezer.

If you blend too much and it becomes too runny or thin put frosting bag in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Kneed with hands to break up any hard coconut oil clumps. Continue to make flowers.

These treats are acceptable for GAPS from the intro.
