Coconut Butter BItes...

[Guest guest]

I uploaded some pictures of how I've been eating my coconut butter lately…

When I first discovered Coconut Butter (and how to make it in the Vitamix) I ate

a spoon full (or two) after every meal, and in between meals if I felt hungry.

Then, I brought my jar to work at a Whole Foods Market (a notoriously cold

place). My coconut butter solidified so I had to " chunk off " pieces. I LOVED

the new texture! So then for a long time, after I made a batch of coconut

butter, I'd pour it into a large glass baking dish and put it in the fridge to

solidify. After it was hard, I'd break it into pieces (a lot like chocolate

bark, only thicker) but I found that I would REALLY over eat my portion size,

because the pieces weren't uniform, and I just didn't have a " stopper " and I'd

keep pulling out chunks.

So… I decided to buy the mini muffin tins to help me with portion control. I

try to eat only one after each meal (but usually end up eating two - guilty grin

;-)

So I made them for a long time as just coconut butter. But the other day, I

tossed in some nuts as I was making the butter (don't ask me for proportions - I

just tossed 'em in) and WOW! Delicious! Lately I don't worry about whether I

have good coconut flakes to start with (good ones being naturally full of fat).

I just add liberal amounts of coconut oil to the mix when I am blending up a

batch because it is the coconut oil that I'm trying to consume, and it makes it

a breeze to get the coconut butter to blend. Just add as much as necessary.

I know that adding cocoa powder would be awesome, but I haven't done it yet

because I would have ABSOLUTELY NO self control around THAT!

Next, I'm going to make a batch with Matcha Green Tea Powder…

Google to learn the health benefits of Matcha Green Tea Powder. I buy from the

source above - always enough in one order to get free shipping.
