Squeezable Toothpaste

Squeezable Toothpaste
The recipe makes enough to fill one 3 oz. BPA free tubeYou can double or triple the recipe as needed to make a few batches at once for the whole family or as gifts.
Ingredients
·         3 Tbsp bentonite clay (where to buy)
·         2 tbsp coconut oil, at room temperature/liquid state (where to buy)
·         1 tsp whole ground stevia (this should be green not the white powder) (where to buy)
·         ¾ tsp unrefined high mineral salt (where to buy)
·         1 tsp baking soda (where to buy)
·         3 Tbsp distilled water to thin, more as needed
·         1/4 tsp Thieves oil or any therapeutic grade essential oil you prefer. (I like to mix peppermint oil and Thieves and my husband likes fennel oil)
Directions
In a small glass bowl, blend together the coconut oil, stevia, salt, baking soda and essential oil until well incorporated. Mix in the bentonite clay and then slowly add the water a tablespoon at a time. When you have a smooth paste you are done! Scoop into your bpa-free tube and you will have squeezable toothpaste!
Notes:
It is important when making homemade toothpaste that you use top quality ingredients as I have suggested.
The natural stevia is what gives this toothpaste its green color so I guess you could say real toothpaste should be GREEN!
