how can I emulsify coconut oil without egg?

[Guest guest]

I want to start adding coconut oil to my smoothies again, but right now I

don't have a source for fresh healthy eggs. Anytime I've tried to add

coconut oil without first emulsifying with egg yolk I get hardened chucks of

oil and the texture makes me gag. Is there something else relatively

healthy I can use to emulsify the coconut oil?

the way i do it is to blend it with gelatin by melting the two with hot water,

then blend with other ingredients.

Thank you for the tips! I don't have a vitamix, and I can't say the

idea of a room temperature smoothy does much for me LOL. I'll

definitely try the gelatin and I read in the Coconut Lover's Cookbook

that coconut milk will work to emulsify coconut oil too!! I'll be

trying that as well

Well you should just try drizzling with a blender with ingredients

fresh from the fridge and see what happens. Should be okay.

Avocado works great as does dairy cream. Mixing slowly and directly

into the coconut milk or yogurt prior to adding anything else works

too, not as good as egg, avo., or cream. Works best with yogurt or

coconut milk when using room temp ingredients. After i have all the

stuff blended i will add a few pieces of ice to bring temp back up

some. If the ice or frozen fruit is too soon it can clump the oil up.

So blend oil directly with whatever you have chosen add the cold stuff

last and after thorough blending. I find if i get clumps it is minimal.
