🍽️ Dish: 🥥 Coconut Butter & Oil Separation
🧠 Truth Trigger: “If your coconut product has a dozen ingredients, it’s not from a coconut—it’s from a lab.”
Coconut products have become health buzzwords… but not all coconuts are created equal.
Walk into any health store and you’ll see “coconut oil,” “MCT oil,” “coconut butter,” “coconut spread,” “cream,” and even “coconut beverage.” It’s overwhelming—and by design.
They’ve taken one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth and repackaged it into shelf-stable, watered-down versions that don’t deliver the goods.
This feature demystifies coconut products—how to separate oil from butter, how to use each one, and why real coconut fuel belongs in your foundation stack.

✅ How to make both from scratch

⏱️ Prep Time: 5 min
🔥 Cook Time: 5-10 min
🫙Yields: 1–1.5 cups of coconut butter (plus oil if separated)
🥄 INGREDIENTS (WITH INTENTION)
- 2–4 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut (organic, no preservatives)
- (Optional) A pinch of sea salt for flavour or trace minerals
🍳 🍳 🍳 🍳
🛠️ INSTRUCTIONS
- Blend shredded coconut in a high-powered food processor or blender. Start slow and build speed.
- It will go through phases: flake → powder → paste → smooth butter. Be patient.
- Once fully smooth and glossy (approx. 8–10 minutes), you’ve made coconut butter.
- To separate oil: pour into a glass jar and let it sit at room temperature or place in fridge. The oil will rise and solidify on top.
- Scoop off the oil if desired—or mix it all together for full-spectrum coconut magic.

🧠 TRUTH DROP
Most commercial coconut “spreads” are loaded with stabilizers, gums, or hidden seed oils to maintain texture.
And MCT oil? It’s not bad—but it’s just a fraction of the coconut, not the whole.
Real coconut butter gives you fibre, fat, and flavour. It’s the unbroken chain of benefit.
