10+ Favorite Simple Essential Oil Recipes

I've just started learning about all the nutritional and health benefits of using essential oils for wellness. It's been a really fun journey and I learn something new every day. Here's one I just found out recently: Did you know that you can use essential oils in cooking? (Just make sure the brand you use is suitable for internal use. Hint: Any doTerra essential oil with nutrition facts on the bottle is suitable to be used internally.)

Here are some fun essential oil recipes. . . some of them sound mighty delicious! I've tried #2 and really liked it! My sis-in-law said that #6 is incredible! Enjoy! ~JS~

1. Add a few drops of doTERRA essential oil into several bowls of melted chocolate chips (i.e. peppermint, orange, lavender, OnGuard, etc.). Use to dip fresh fruit.
2. Put 2-3 drops of OnGuard in a bowl of water. Then, add slices of apples to the water for a refreshing treat.
3. Put 2-3 drops of OnGuard in a spray bottle with water. Spritz over sliced peaches.
4. Mix 2-3 drops of Cassia in greek yogurt for a delicious fruit dip.
5. Put 2-3 drops of a variety of doTERRA essential oils into small bowls of whipped cream for dipping fresh fruit or pound cake.
6. Add 2-5 drops peppermint essential oil to your favorite chocolate brownie recipe.
7. Add 2-4 drops Wild Orange to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
8. Add 2-3 drops of your favorite doTERRA essential oil to frosting for cupcakes.
9. Add several drops of lime to guacamole for a zesty treat.
10. Add 1-3 drops basil to strawberry lemonade for an amazing drink.  
11. Bonus Idea - At BYU Education Week this year, Chef Brad added Citrus Bliss to the smoothie he made for us in his demonstration. YUM!
