Tip from our Dietitian

If enjoying this coconut cream for breakfast we recommend increasing the protein for a more filling and nutritious meal.

If you tolerate dairy, add 2 tbsp whey protein isolate per serving. Add some water for a runnier consistency if needed.

If you don't eat dairy products, eat a couple of eggs on the side.

    Based on the spacing of the ingredients, it's hard to tell if that's all for one serving, or three different suggestions for using different berries. Please clarify!

    Should that be;
    1/2 cup (100mls) Coconut Cream
    20g of either Strawberries, Blueberries or Raspberries
    1 Pinch of Vanilla powder or extract

    I like to mash up a ripe avocado and mix in some whole fat greek yogurt. I then usually add some nuts ( I usually use walnuts) and some type of berries. Coconut flakes are added if available. This is a good way to get the nutritional benefits of avocadoes for someone who make not necessarily like the taste.

    I make actual coconut yoghurt by mixing a couple of tins of coconut milk with live yoghurt culture. I leave it overnight in my Easiyo yoghurt maker. It's soooo good!!!
    It's not thick like normal yogurt but tastes absolutely amazing! Only slightly coconuty with a fresh yoghurt tang. I just drink it with a little stevia.
    I'd love to know if the live cultures reduce the sugars in the coconut milk as the live bacteria "eat" it. Any one know?

    The information I can find says that there's 7gm of carbs in 100ml of coconut cream. Where did the 88gm of carbs in cocnut cream come from?
    The link you ve added states that there 16gm in 240ml of coconut cream. Am I reading the page wrongly?

    So are you suppose to mix the stick of butter with the coconut cream? Confused or use the cream as is? Also can coconut cream be frozen? Want to make a dairy free ice cream for my son who is on a medical monitored keto diet. Thanks!

    I like your suggestion! I miss the cold crunch of breakfast cereal. This sounds like it would hit the spot or at least be a great alternative finally! I'm not a fan of the avacado but I WANT to be. Also, I'm so sick of eggs! I've never been big on their texture. Thank you for sharing your recipe!!!

    The recipe says stick blender not stick of butter.

    What I don't understand is the 20g strawberry - that isn't a whole strawberry! Mine are 35g or about.

    My coconut cream (Marks & Spencer) is 3g carbs per 100ml.

    I made this tonight with coconut milk. It was good, but we decided to see if it would be better chilled. DEFINITELY better chilled. I added the coconut oil for fat, but I don't think I will add a tbsp next time.

    I did this but it was so sweet. Still, it was very good but very sweet. Next time I'll add less coconut cream and maybe heavy cream.

    Hi I'm dairy intolerant so I have alpro simply plain soya yoghurt. It has 1.1 net carbs per 100g and 4g of protein. It's really nice mixed with Chia seeds nuts and a few berries

    I whipp the coconut cream and it thickens quite well. Using an electric Beater. Yes Ayam Coconut cream is the only brand I prefer for proper coconut and its flavour. You can get light coconut cream but its organic in Ayam brand at Woolworths in Australia.

    I think you should say that the cream has to be whipped; I have learned from experience that if you don't whip it or use it for making yogurt, it will be thin and runny

    I made this with the cream part of the coconut cream had enough for 1 cup or two servings from one can; it was on the shelf in my closet and it was perfect. I used blackberries for this and it was a quick fix for a yogurt . For those who want the best THAI Coconut cream unsweetened is perfect; I just removed the water in the bottom of the can. thanks for this.

    I bought coconut cream, the label shows 19g carb per serving , the can total ounces is 15oz, if I blend 1/2 cup = 7.5 oz x 19 grams = 142 grams of Carb just the cream plus 20grs the strawberry, isn’t go over the low carb diet plan that states Carb consumption less than 20grs per day?

    Different brands of coconut cream have different carb counts. It's important to check ingredient and nutrition labels to find the lowest carb option your store offers.

    Chia seeds are a low net carb food. We have not tested this recipe with chia added.

    Great simple healthy recipe - thanks! I made it the top layer of a raw blueberry slice (added a dash of coconut oil). I made a cacao, nut and seed base with coconut oil. Froze the the lot and it’s great!
