BlueBerry Coconut Butter

Blueberry Coconut Butter:

Blueberry coconut butter is much tastier and a healthier alternative to peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter is loaded with inflammatory omega -6 fats.  Peanuts no matter how they are grown are not healthy.  Most store bought jellies are loaded with sugars and artificial flavorings.  Typical replacements for peanut butter include almond butter & cashew butter.

However, these nuts contain phytic acids and enzyme inhibitors that need to be removed before they are highly bioavailable.  The best way would be to soak and sprout these nuts before making them into a butter.  Some individuals metabolize nuts very well while others struggle with them.  Either way, they are one of the more challenging things to digest in a healthy whole-foods based diet.

Dr Jockers Comments

You can use other berries such as raspberries, strawberries, acai berries and blackberries.  Be sure to get organic berries as berries are typically highly sprayed with pesticides if they are not organic.  They can also be frozen berries.  That is how I typically get them.

You can also add raw cacao nibs for extra antioxidants, healthy fats and clean proteins.  You can also add bone broth protein– either chocolate or vanilla for extra protein, antioxidants and sweetness.
