Re: Coconut Butter made in the Vitamix from coconut flakes

[Guest guest]

Would I need the dry container to make Coconut Butter from coconut flakes in the

vitamix? also do you get the same benefits from the butter as you get from the

oil?

Thank you

confused. I wanted to try it before I decided to try to make it myself. Anyway,

I found 2 kinds in the organic section. I purchased the one that is unrefined

for medium heat. (the other one was refined and for high heat.) But I guess I am

confused. Should I have looked for butter not oil? Can this oil be added to a

cold smoothie? I am hoping to get some health benefits from it. (Mostly some

needed energy) Thank you in advance.

No - it is made (like nut butters) in the wet container.I've begun adding in a lot of coconut oil when I make my coconut butter because it is the coconut oil that has most of the benefits. But there are a LOT of benefits from coconut flakes as well (think added fiber :-) So I don't stress over it. I can eat SO MUCH MORE coconut butter than I'd ever eat the oil. In fact, I can OD on the coconut butter, but NEVER OD'ed on the oil :-)
