I have been making a gallon a day for 49 years now in Hawaii from frsh coconuts here. I blend the medium aged coconut with water and probiotics adn pur into quart jars and let sit for a day in room temp and then put in friege it lasts for months if need be (skim off the top). You cannot mess this one up it is too easy.
any tips on what probiotic to use? ive got yogurt starter with 10 different bacteria but i don't know what works better with coconut vs. milk as far as probiotics.. i also have a yogurt maker that heats it a little, not sure if its too hot for this or fine to do just like milk yogurt. thanks 😊
Thank you. That was great. I love coconut. We have a lot of coconut in our country. We usually use it for drinks, lotion, cooking if I will. Now I can make yogurt. learn it from you.
Great.. A couple of thoughts.. If you pierced the lid would that not help the probiotics metabolise and also stop the spillage.. or just put it on loosely..
Also if you are making this on a regular basis it should be possible to use your yoghurt as a culture instead of fresh probiotic powder each time which is very expensive..
I've not tried yet but will have a go.. thanks for the vid.. ;9)
How did I miss this recipe? I thought I watched every one but I guess not. I will be making this recipe for sure..After all, anything with coconut is awesome : ) Thx Alison!
You can use the same culture over adn over from the batch before.. (one teaspoon of older yogurt in new batch) use it for sauces and dressings and smoothies and sour cream recipes I ahve been 100% raw foodist vegan for 50 years now.
Your teaching is fantastic and the filming is superb. Thank you so much from the UK.
Sounds delicious and it is so healthy, going to start using this fro my smoothies. Thanks
WOW! Thank you very much Alison for sharing this COOL recipe for making Raw Coconut Yogurt with real natural coconut, saw 2 other videos but they recommend using canned coconut milk, preferably from a Thai brand, as for the temp, this other pretty chick, Dana, recommends we have the yogurt at a room temp of 75°F and higher, but she didn't specify how high and with what you tell us here, a great room temp is 90°F, depending on how hot it is right now the temp varies betwee 88 and 90°F, once the rainy season starts in June, it will cool down a bit, probably going down to 75° and 82°F, so either way I can now make my own homemade Raw Coconut Yogurt, thanks to you! Uprated and sending ya greetings from Mexico. :) Oops, forgot to thank ya for the link to buy probiotic powder at Amazon, will be using that soon. :D
Can I use an old hard coconut and extract the juice instead of using the young coconut?
i never saw a young coconut on sale lol only brown old ones
Same, only the brown grandpa ones 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are young coconut shreddings obtained by scrapping the inside of green coconut? Pl guide.
Thank you for this recipe. I’m gonna have to try making it with younger coconut. I attempted to make it with water instead of coconut water and i noticed the yogurt was started developing but there was major water separation and it doesn’t smell so good :(
I am determined to try again.
Becka- I'm wondering if the frozen shredded coconut you used was maybe from a mature coconut instead of a young/green coconut? Otherwise it should have gotten smooth. My only other thought is that some people have complained that Blendtec's don't make smooth nut butters, so maybe that was the issue. I'm sorry it didn't get smooth for you.
UHH!
Thanks so much!
I love coconut.
YES definitely dont use much though or your jar will explode with groth literally.
it is goo to set your jars in tupperware or otehr containers till it finshes expanding otherwise you might wake up to cocnut yogurt all over your counter rising out of the jar as it grows and expands
Great video, thanks a lot! I live in Indonesia and know well that if coconut milk is left out it can go bad and make you very sick. In the case of making yogurt, is it the probiotics that prevent it from going bad?
Can we substitute water for coconut water?
If you're having trouble getting to the written recipe click here to take you to the article and recipe: healthnutnation.com/2013/04/02/how-to-make-raw-coconut-yogurt/
Hi , I made some and it didnt swell up . and when i taste it . it taste ok but has a vomit like after taste. is this normal ? or what did i do wrong?
How long did you have it overnight? How much probiotic did you add. I am getting a yogurt maker. It speeds up the time to make yogurt. The temp is what matters too.
i added two pills of probiotics and left it in about 75 degrees for 24 hours.

ok thank you for the site. I just dont know why all these steps of heating up on the stove and all. and some coconut yogurt making on you tube are real simple. so how to know witch one is right ? :)
Do not use Melissa's brand coconut. They are molded more often than not. When you crack it open, if the meat has a thin layer on top of the coconut that is either a blackish color or a pinkish color it is already starting the process of molding. You will have to take it back to the store and exchange or get money back. The young coconut MUST be just white, no tinge of slight pink nor black. Pure white only. The liquid should be almost clear. If the juice is the color of gingerale, do not drink and do not use coconut. How can you tell BEFORE you buy it....turn the young coconut upside down and taking both thumbs, try to push in. If the bottom moves inward even just barely, do not buy. If it does not budge at all, it is still good. Use it as soon as you can. Do not let sit in fridge for too long. And the plastic that is over it really does not protect it. It is used to help keep the fungicide on it that the company sprayed it with which by the way does nothing. Spraying the outside does NOTHING for what is going on in the inside. Mature coconuts do not mature in the store nor at your home. They are matured on the tree then picked or shaken to get down. Young coconuts have to be cut or pulled because they just don't fall on their own, they are not ready. The good thing about young coconuts is that they have way more water and more electrolytes than mature coconuts. The bad news is that there is no such thing as ripening OFF the tree. Bananas ripen off the tree and tomatoes ripen off the vine (if not picked too early) but young coconuts do not. Once a young coconut leaves before its time it starts dying (rotting) immediately. That's why you must use it as soon as you buy it. It comes from Thailand then goes through processing (sprayed and packaged) then to a warehouse that's not cold then to the stores and they don't all go to the same warehouse. There are some coconut platations in Florida that ship the day or next day you order and they are cheaper than the store but ends up being more expensive because of shipping and handling. But they won't be sprayed with fungicide and sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long.
I used Nature's Way Children's probiotics here. I really like BioKult as well.
I love your video & I tried making this for the first time last night, but unfortunately it was pretty much a fail. I killed the probiotic by accidentally over blending the frozen shredded coconut in my Blendtec, which brings me to my question. How do you keep the yogurt from coming out so grainy? I blended it for 3 or 4 rounds trying to make it smooth. Any suggestions? Or does it never get completely smooth?
What brand of probiotics did you use here? Which is a good brand and would you suggest?
Doesn't it spoil when putting it in a warm place? Will the probiotics do their job if you put the yogurt in the fridge after blending?
Hi there! I have easier access to the aged/mature coconut, would it be possible for me to use the same steps in this video and yield the same results? Thank you.
did u put it in the oven on 90 degree C or F?
Can I add a probiotic capsule (Acidophilus/Bifidus)?
Hi I was wondering if you can make this yogurt when the coconut meat is hard and dry.
That is the case with most homemade yogurt. For some reason raw coconut yogurt is different...
Hey. Do you know how to make the yoghurt more characteristic of cows milk?
Less coconutty flavour and more creamy and neutral.
Hi Frances- I do recommend Biochem. Here is a link to an in-depth article I wrote on the ingredients I use in my smoothies, along with direct links to all of the products I recommend. Since TH-cam won't let me give you the direct link I have to spell it out a bit: healthnutnation [dot] com/2011/09/02/the-4-hour-body-breakfast-shake/
No, it doesn't spoil. The probiotics will not cultivate if you put it directly in the fridge. They need to warm up to activate and proliferate. Remember coconuts thrive in extremely warm/hot climates. They don't spoil easily.
I've got to say that it's thick like Greek Yogurt but has a very different flavor. Try adding a few drops of liquid stevia and see how you like it. Also, Greek Yogurt is only sour if it's low in fat. Try buying the full fat versions (Trader Joe's sells a full fat Greek Yogurt that my super picky husband LOVES) and see how you like it (and don't be afraid of the fat, it will help you to stay fuller longer, and helps you to properly digest the lactose and protein in the yogurt).
how about put the contents of a young coconut(meat+water) in blender, blend it then strain it(to retain fiber), you got coconut milk. Then put milk kefir grains into the coconut milk(1 tblsp. milk kefir grains per 1 cup of coconut milk)next day you have coconut kefir .
I've actually tried this and ended up having all of the coconut oil end up in the nut bag/strainer, which clogged up the straining process and lost all of the oil. Plus, it was attached to the fiber, so I couldn't use the fiber for coconut flour. The best method I've heard of is using a juicer....
You need to use a cheese clothe in order for it to breathe that's what it overflows
Hi.. how big is your mason jar ? Thank you
Where can I buy the jars with the white plastic tops?
Here is a link to the jars I use: amzn.to/1FsLynS and here is a link to the lids I use: amzn.to/1FsHQL5
Hope that helps!
You know, I haven't tried that. It likely would for at least one batch. If you give it a try let me know the results.
Where can i buy the same probiotics you used in your recipe?
Sandra de Morgan - I link to the exact probiotic powder that I used in the video here: www.healthnutnation.com/2013/04/02/how-to-make-raw-coconut-yogurt/
Could you use a small amount from one batch to culture the next batch (and thus keep your culture indefinitely)?
hogueguy yes you can.
Hi, why does the probiotic bottle say children, can you get one that says adult. I have an electric oven, they get hot so fast. I always wanted a yogurt maker, what do you think of yogurt makers?
does using metal kill the probiotics?
It can weaken them over time, so I'm careful
As far as i'm aware putting probiotics in the blender will kill the probiotics due to the metal.
Fahrenheit. Absolutely add a probiotic capsule. Simply open it up, pour it in and stir!
i've noticed that it says on the bag of frozen young coconut that it needs to be heated to a temperature
of 165 degrees before consumption
but it looks as though it may be fine to consume it right out of the bag?
I like how this was not sitting over a fire for 30 days with a thermometer in it. For the win!!
Where can i find the frozen coconut? I live in NY thanks
+Rel FaGif Asian markets are your best bet.
Seeing the bubbles make me wonder if the yogurt will make you gassy or bloated? Anyone with experience to share?
Question: Can I place the jar in a crock pot on low over night instead of oven. I will cover the pot with heavy towers.
Vicki Bate yes you can I have seen a lot do that on youtube
Is this keto friendly?
yeah
Can i change probiotic with other options? May be apple vinegar or kombucha ?
The best video
i like this a lot. but what is an alternative to putting it in the oven at 90 degrees? can i leave it out and if so what is the highest and lowest the room temp should be?
is 90 degrees in the oven too hot for the bacteria? Will the heat kill the probiotics?
I make dairy yogurt as well which essentially uses the same active cultures. The bacteria proliferate (grow) between 90-112 degrees F. If the liquid is too cold, the bacteria go dormant and will not proliferate. Temperatures above 115 degrees will kill the cultures.
Can the coconut yogurt be placed in the instant pot on yogurt setting instead of the oven?
This food is good,because I like coconut and this food is very delicious and very Healthy，refuel! I love you and love this video,very exprect me DIY this food !
Unless I'm missing something, this appears to me to be a very expensive way to make coconut yogurt. One of my reasons for making coconut yogurt is to reduce the cost from store-bought coconut yogurt. I think I will stick to cheap and easy, using a starter from a jar of coconut yogurt, added to a can of Thai coconut milk or cream. We do what we have to do.
Hello, mine never thickened up. I knew it looked much more watery than yours when I blended it. I used the frozen young coconut and one bag equalled 2 cups. I put a little bit more water in it ( I guess I shouldn't have). It stayed in the oven with the light for 20 hours and it did not thicken at all. Now I have it in the fridge. Is there anything I can do with this? Add more coconut and try again, or do I need to throw this out now? Thanks for the help!
I clicked the link but can't find the yogurt recipe. I'm hoping to find the exact measurements.
Hi I'm a new subscriber to your great channel. I was was watching your videos on Biochem protein and was wondering if you still like to use these proteins or suggest others. My other question is also where do you purchase them? Online name please or the store, thank you from San Antonio, TX :-)
I'm sure a teaspoon of this would work just fine.
Thank you for this recipe 👍🏻 is it possible to substitute the fresh coconut meat with dried coconut? I don't have fresh stored coconut in my country.
Mine came out very sour. So I looked on youtube and found your video for some clues. I used a good probiotic but didn't put it in the oven just left in a cupboard for 13hrs. Do you think it is because of the probiotics or because I didn't put it in the oven? The room temperature is about 70degrees. Thanks for any help
Can you also add protein powder to this yogurt?
Yes, but I think it would need a lot more water. Better to add the yogurt to your smoothie. It's super good!
ok thank you. Sorry about the questions but I went to the health food store to get the probiotic I didn't know which one to get. :) What would you suggest? I guess some are stronger than others. Thanks so much for your help
tamara
Tammy Richards Don't be sorry. Any probiotic will work. Just get one that isn't too expensive, doesn't contain dairy or gluten, and that you think you'd take as a supplement (so you can finish up the bottle and it won't go to waste). You need at least 30 billion CFU's, so that may be one pill or more (just look at the bottle). I recommend and link to the brand I use in the video here: www.healthnutnation.com/2013/04/02/how-to-make-raw-coconut-yogurt/
I use jarro dophilus from the bottle in the freezer section of the ehalth store..you can use the old batch over and over without using new probioticds..
YOU LOOK WIKE AN ANGEL DO YOU HAVE WINGS?
Hello Allison! About 2 weeks ago I saw a different video than this that teaches you how to make the coconut milk from shredded coconut. I was incredibly inspired. First two times I didn't didn't come out so good then I brought the mesh nut bag I was kind of amazed at how much milk came out. I haven't tackled how to make flower out of the meat of it but I'll tell you that my three cats well two of the three love the taste of warm coconut milk. Where would be an appropriate place for me to send you questions that I have. Thank you for sharing all of this
Thank you I learn something new! I would throw away the young coconut after getting the water out never knowing that you can do yogurt.
We have lots if coconuts but we cannot afford the probiotics..any substitute for probiotics?
why you not make a coconut ice cream
can apply the same method to other fruits like ripe mangoes,ripe banana , ripe soursop,custard apples etc
nice recipe, but if i the word "probiotics" one more time, i might shove a pen through my temple, so im going to have skip the rest of the video
You contradict your lovely self. Don't undo this?! Why the spoon?! ✨💫✨💫
Oh gosh, that voice
Decided to skip the middleman and just buy a can of Thai coconut milk. Duh.
U have any b12 recipe
nice vid!
Can i use dry coconut?
How does one become a certified nutritional consultant?
Very good instructions! I feel very inspired to do this soon, the problem is just to find the fresh coconuts here in Sweden..
Thank you for responding, I have already bought the Biochem Chocolate I just need the egg one
hi from a bad year
I live in Michigan in a town with may people from India and Asia. I have called many stores and cannot find the nice frozen shredded coconut. I called an importer and because the product mostly comes from Thailand. I asked if they supplied product to a store in Michigan, and they said no. Its just too expensive to ship frozen food. I need to find an easy way to open coconuts.. I did find a sale at an Asian grocerie store for .98 each...
TotalHealth2345 I think this will not reach you by now but still I want to share it due you said you can get young coconuts but have to learn how to open them....well on a YT video by The raw Boy he uses an young coconut opener that he bougth on Amazon wichs looks so easy and quick ( and cheap) , nothing to do with the dangerous and difficult "big knife method ....
Well, I followed the instructions and after straining out the grainy particles of coconut meat I had a great-looking coco milk. I added some sugar-free dairy yoghurt and a capsule full of probiotics and placed the stainless steel container in the oven. The mixture did not grow, turned a golden brown color and is as thin as regular milk. HELP?
Try in a glass jar or ceramic (always non-metal) container. Your stainless steel container is likely the problem.
how not to spoil so fast the coconut meat fillings after baking pie?
Where do you purchase the young coconut meat? I can not find it any where?
I generally find it at specialty food stores, Asian markets, and Indian markets. Sometimes you'll find young coconut at a regular grocery store in the organic section.

Can anyone please tell me how to make just PLAIN hemp seed yogurt with coconut or anything else? I have the hemp seeds and the Liyfbiotics ready to go but I can't seem to find just a plain hemp seed yogurt recipe anywhere and can't afford to waste. I appreciate any help or recipes
Grind your hulled hemp and add probiotics. I got a yogurt maker ...it speeds up the process.
And could you make this using coconut milk? I'm not sure I can get the frozen coconut and I've never seen the young coconuts over here in he UK
coral laroc I've never tried it with coconut milk, but I don't think it would work. It's very different in texture than the young coconut that has been blended. Maybe look for a "green" coconut there? They may not take off the outer husk...
Hi. I've just found another video where the person used coconut milk. Apparently it works! :-). As far as I know, we only get the small brown hairy coconuts here
coral laroc do you still have the link of the video? Would you mind share it because I cannot find a decent yogurt recipe made with coconut milk.
iv tried this so many times and in he morning the coconut yogurt is off. tastes really sour and bad i don't know what I'm doing wrong?
raw unsweetened yoghurt does taste sour, if you dont like the taste sweeten with honey just before you eat it.
okay thank you :)
The coconut yogurt if I make it in the morning. How long do you keep it in the oven. How many hours. Also do you have to use mason jars with plastic covers? I only have ones with the metal tops? Thanks You said, you have a book where can it be purchased?
Tammy Richards I usually keep it in the oven for about 4-5 hours, but it really depends on the potency of the probiotics you are using, as well as the temperature in your oven and house. When it starts to have a lot of air bubbles, taste it, and see if it's got a yogurt taste. Sometimes it won't taste good until you refrigerate it, but you can tell if it's kind of cultured tasting when it's warm. You can get my ebook here: www.healthnutnation.com/paleo-sweet-tooth-ebook/
hey,, whats the shelf life for this yogurt? thankyou
you do good vids simple clear. pleasant Thankyou.
Have you heard anything about coconuts having antibiotic properties that kills the probiotic grains and finished kefir or yogurt? Also are you using milk grains or water grains. Thanks
+Mike Breler I have not heard that. I know that coconut water is often used to make a specialized probiotic drink, so I don't think that is an issue. I use water grains to make probiotic rich water kefir drink using coconut water (usually from the young coconut). I use milk grains to make the yogurt.
It's not a young coconut that you used in this video....
Can I give this to my 9 month old?
Wow you have some great recipes! Thanks so much for sharing. I don't have my kefir anymore I had the water kind and the milk kind, it was to much work and I also have a Kombucha which I still have that. So dealing with all that was to much. But you said I can just use the coconut water. Also I think kefir makes your stomach fat or bloat or something, it did mine and it happened to my two sister to. so I stopped drinking and eating that and it took a long time for my stomach to go back down, months! And the same thing with my sister I think it took them a lot long for theirs to go down. Dose kefir do that to you? Thanks again
Hi Amanda- Anything to do with dairy makes my stomach bloat (kefir included). The water and coconut water kefir I make doesn't. If it does for you then you might check out a low FODMAP diet. It's unusual to have probiotics make a person bloat, and when it does it usually indicates a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or some sort of intestinal infection. Especially if it takes months for the effects to wear off. Search both and see if you have any of the other symptoms associated with either SIBO or intolerance to FODMAP's.
Thanks for the response & the tips. I wasn't even considering that my frozen shredded coconut wasn't of the young variety. The only thing I could find locally was sweetened frozen shredded from Walmart, made by Birdseye. That would definitely make sense as to why it would never be smooth, being from a mature, firm coconut. I guess I should try to look harder for an Asian market. ;) I hope to try again.
Becka- Well at least you can make your own coconut milk with the frozen shredded (mature) meat from Walmart! I'm sorry the yogurt didn't work for you though.
It's also keto and I think even whole30 friendly.
Hi Allison, can you use dry coconut? If so how much? I am having a hard time finding fresh coconut in the freezer at our stores. Also can you use canned coconut milk? Thanks Tamara
+Tammy Richards You might be able to soak dried coconut overnight in water, coconut water, or canned coconut milk. Then blend it until it's smooth and see if it works. Please let me know if you try it!
I think I will use my Excalibur dehydrator to have a stable low degree to try this. Way cheaper on electricity!
Annie Friolet Yes! I didn't have a dehydrator at the time of making the video, but I do now and use it too. Love my excaliber!
so you can sit it out on the counter overnight if it's warm out? what temp range is acceptable? can you use coconut butter and or canned coconut milk?
+Kyle A It should be around the 90 degree F mark. Coconut butter is simply the oil of the coconut meat and won't work. Canned coconut meat should work, but I haven't tried it yet.
LOVED THIS!!! very very well done. love how easy it looks. i subscribed! i'm also studying to be a nutritional consultant! much love
Meg Radler :-)
When I use filtered water use it cold or hot?
VERY WELL DONE , VIDIE!!!! Nice!!!
I made this 2 days back and teksture is creamy but also slippery. Is it supposed to be like that?
+Everyday Mom - It can be depending on the young coconut. Sometimes it's creamy and sometimes kind of glossy. I think it depends on how mature the young coconut is, as the flesh is either thin and translucent or thick and meaty.
