Coconut Butter – How to Make Your Own

I love coconut butter. It is a great way to increase the amount of good fat in our diets, which most of us need to work on.

Good fat is important for hormone balance and a strong immune system. Learn more about balancing your hormones in this free chapter of my book, Nourishing Space Within: Essentials of Self-Care.


Unfortunately, coconut butter is pretty expensive.

Fortunately, it is very simple to make.

Shall we get started?

Here is what you need:

A blender or food processor

6 cups of organic dried coconut flakes, any flake size will do

Here is how you make it:

1. Add 3 cups of organic dried coconut flakes to your blender or food processor and blend.
2. When the first 3 cups are fairly broken down, add the next 3 cups one at a time.
3. Be patient, this can take up to 10-15 minutes in a food processor and quite a bit less in a high-powered blender (I love my Vitamix!).
4. Blend until it is smooth. The longer you blend, the smoother the butter.
5. When it reaches your desired consistency, pour into a glass jar and seal with a lid.

This will keep well in the cupboard. Enjoy in curries, spread it on your pancakes, use as frosting with a little honey, add it to smoothies, the possibilities are endless and delicious.
