I discovered Coconut Butter



I came across this delicious food at Sprouts the other day. I had never tried it or heard of it before but it is heaven in a jar! I'm planning on making brownies for the boys next week (paleo ingredients, of course) and I'm going to spread this on top of them like icing! Can't wait! 

Things you can do with coconut butter

  1. Spoon coconut butter straight from the jar and eat it. Yes, really.
  2. Blend it 50/50 with raw organic nut butter and use it as you would nut butter, or refer to #1.
  3. Spoon it over baked sweet potato or roasted winter squash
  4. Mix it into a curry or similar dish with some water in place of coconut milk
  5. Combine it with cacao powder, coconut oil and a tiny bit of honey to make a candy-treat
  6. Use a tablespoon or two in a smoothie for added thickness and some healthy fat
  7. Toss some shrimp or chicken in a spoonful of it with coconut oil and hot sauce for a buffalo-style sauce
  8. Drizzle it softened over berries in a bowl for an amazing dessert
  9. Blend up a non-dairy coffee creamer (with cocoa or without)
  10. Anything you’d do with either chocolate sauce or nut butter- substitute in coconut (butterhttp://balancedbites.com/2010/12/what-the-heck-can-i-do-with-coconut-butter.html)
