Ingredients

(use organic ingredients where possible)

  • 3 young coconuts
  • 1 cup fresh coconut water (or just water)
  • 1-2 high quality refrigerated probiotic capsules ( Mega Flora brand is good)
  • Toppings (optional): jam, granola, fresh berries

Utensil

  • Blender

Method

  1. Sterilize all your tools, bowls, and blender by boiling them or washing them in very hot water.
  2. Open your coconuts, set the water aside, and scoop out the meat with the back of your spoon.
  3. Placed the cleaned meat (no brown husk) in a blender, and add water a little at a time until it becomes a thick creamy consistency (side note: the blending heats up the mixture which the probiotics are gonna love).
  4. Add this mixture to a glass bowl, then add in probiotic capsules and mix.
    IMPORTANT: Be sure not to use metal anything at this point, as it will affect the probiotics. (We are doing this manually in a bowl because the blender has a metal blade).
  5. Cover your mixture with cheesecloth and a rubber band, and place in a cool, dark place for 24-48 hours until it is no longer sweet and tastes like sour yogurt.
