I've been adding coconut butter to my shakes the past few days. Coconut butter is basically a combination of coconut oil and coconut flesh - whipped together. It provides about 18 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein and sugar per 2 Tbs. serving. The variety I found at Whole Foods Market is raw and organic. Tasty too.
The reason I opted for this version of coconut is because a) it contains a higher percentage of fat than the shredded coconut and b) because it retains some fiber and mixes more easily than the coconut oil.
Always the experimenter.

I am on a mini-fast, too.
Also quitting diet drinks now that summer is over.
All one of them every other day.
I think I'll be steering clear of them too, Anne.
I'm trying to budget my drinking in better ways - tea and water.
Hope you're settling back in and enjoying your home sweet home.
And? And? How did the coconut butter turn out? Think it's a keeper? :)
Harry! Please tell Mad that I got my picture in the mail yesterday and it totally made my whole weekend! It's even personalized, just for me. Mad is such a sweetheart to do this for me... Please thank her for me and let her know, I could not be more thrilled. :)
That coconut stuff sounds promising....
Enjoy the rest of your weekened!
Angie,
I just told Mad and it brought a big smile to her beautiful face. :-)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!
Erika,
I'd say it's a keeper. A good middle-ground between coconut oil and shredded coconut (except it's smoother - buttery). Nice product, IMO. :-)
