Coconut Yogurt
Traditional yogurt is often marketed as a probiotic-rich food, even though it is often packed with sugar and little-to-no nutrients. However, an alternative to traditional milk-based yogurts, the coconut yogurt boasts many benefits including being probiotic-rich, dairy-free, and sugar-free. Not to mention—coconut yogurt is easy to make at home!
A 6-ounce serving of unsweetened yogurt has 6 grams of fat, much of which is saturated fat. Don’t let the high saturated fat content of coconuts scare you. Unlike the high calorie, cholesterol-soaked, long chain saturated fats, the saturated fats in coconuts are in the form of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
For those familiar with MCTs or have tried the Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder, you know that MCT’s can help control weight and boost immunity. In addition, MCTs are metabolized quickly and gets burned off as energy. It also helps detoxify your body and balances your digestive tract.
Here are more benefits coconut and coconut yogurt provides:
- Antioxidants
- Essential vitamins and minerals
- Lactose-free
- High in fiber
- High in lauric acid
- Can also contain live and active cultures just like milk-based yogurts
- Good source of bone-building calcium
Fun Facts
No, the coconut is not the largest nut in the world. It’s not even a nut at all; it’s a stone fruit.
Additionally, it is believed that the name “coconut” was coined by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century because the three holes on the coconut looked like a human face. “Coco” means “laughing face,” or “grimace.”

What can you replace eggs with because I am allergic
Avacado.
Can I mix the base and collagen powder together in one drink?
Hi Jessica, yes, you can mix them both. You just have to be careful about how much the amount you put as too much of the powders may cause an upset stomach.
Is this fir breakfast, meal, before work outs or snack? How many can I have in one day?
Hi Francine, it depends on your dietary needs and goals but you can have it any time of the day.
my own recipie -almond milk unsweetened cocoa powder 2 heaped tablespoons..at least 3 stevia and full fat sour creme.
I just tried this for the very first time. A little hesitant as I don’t like trying new things but I thought, hey you might like it. I put 6 oz of water with 6 oz of unsweetened Almond milk, 1 tsp cocoa, 2 scoops of Perfect Keto Salted Caramel MCT Oil Powder with 2 squirts of Stevia sweetner. Blended for 30 seconds and OMG. I absolutely LOVE this smoothie. Will be buying more.

I’m allergic to avocados & I never eat eggs so I’m not even sure I can do Keto but since I just spent a lot of money on this stuff. How can I drink it. And the mat powder?
@Joyce The good thing is there are different foods you could eat on Keto– steak, salmon, grass-fed butter, etc. Here’s a keto food pyramid that might help: http://perfectketo.com/keto-food-pyramid/
