Can coconut flour be used in smoothies?

If you use flour in your smoothie I don't see why not. I use sparingly it's overwhelming if you use too much. In cakes I only replace 1/4 cup of the all purpose flour with coconut flour.

Yes, but you don't want to add to much. It absorbs like 10x its weight in water. It also doesn't bind, so it can also feel gritty. I would say a teaspoon or two is plenty.

No , I wouldn't suggest it because the flour will make it a heavy cake mix. It takes a lot of liquid to a small amount of flour to make a cake/muffin mix.

It would probably give you a really weird texture. It absorbs liquid. I use it in small amounts for baking

I have the chocolate kind and mix it with almond milk and honey and use a hand blender. Or, sometimes I put it with frozen bananas, blueberries, vanilla protein powder and almond milk in a blender and make a delicious breakfast smoothie:)

It's flour. I've had some coconut "flour" that was more on the shredded coconut side but this stuff is definitely flour.

Don't see why not. I found it to be the best gluten free flour I tried.. I used it in a few baked cookie recipes and had no problems. Think it would be worth a try.. I really was impressed with the product. They have a website where you can get contact information and email them with your question just to be sure.

I have not tried for her recipes. I have tried this almond flour for other recipes and have decided that I will give up baking., I have not found any recipe that I like with either almond or coconut flour or any using both flours. It is not cheap baking with these flours and if I can't enjoy anything baked with it why bothers. I guess my motto has to be "keep it simple".

I love this for coffee but must be put in a blender. It does not dissolve well otherwise. Ingredients are coconut milk, maltodextrin, sodium casinate.

Yes, I use it in smoothies and in anything I would use regular coconut extract. I would start with 1/2 tsp. in a single serving smoothie and use more (or less) to suit your taste. Generally the fruit makes the smoothie sweet enough for me but you could add stevia, agave nectar or coconut nectar (you cannot taste the coconut in coconut nectar) which have more calories than stevia, but have a low glycemic index.

I'm not using my Dash daily yet, and I don't know about nuts in it. I tried to bring coconut flakes into flour, and didn't consider the moisture, I got a great paste! It's pretty powerful, I would think it would do the job great.

I also grind nuts into flour and nut butter but I prefer my Blentec blender for this job because of the HP. This does can do this job as well but it will probably burn out it used for long periods of time.

Tracy@TheThingsWellMake November 13, 2013 at 12:33 AM Are you referring to coconut milk powder? (I don't know of any other coconut powder.) I found this answer by googling the questing: "I think coconut (milk) powder is just dehydrated coconut milk. Coconut flour is made from the fibrous part of the coconut after the milk had been obtained from it." web site -- Tracy@The Things We'll Make

Shredded is small pieces of coconut, the flour is similar in texture to wheat flour, (fine powder). You could try putting it in a food processor, but it may not be as fine as the coconut flour.

I'm not sure. theoretically if the coconut was fry enough and in small enough pieces I would think you could. I've never tried this so I don't know. You may want to contact the company and ask them.

Yes you can. I use it in smoothies all the time. Freeze it in ice trays then store them in the freezer and use as needed for up to 3 months or more.

Hello Tiffany, I use this to make coconut flour (in the food processor) and combine it with almond flour to make cookies every week. I'm sure you can use it to make coconut milk. You can use your blender to mix the shredded coconut and water until smooth. If you want to make a little sweet, add a little raw honey. Here is a link with instructions I found on the web. I'm going to try this at home as well (my husband can't have dairy).

Yep. I tried it once using a recipe I had for soy yogurt. The coconut milk I used wasn't smooth so it was like having yogurt with bits of coconut in it but it was definitely yogurt. Hope that helps.

Yes you can put it in your smoothie, but not sure about making a smoothie with it..

First of all...coconut flour absorbs three times in volume when used with liquid. It is not for use as a creamer. It is used in place of regular flour in baking or as a thickener for gravies. Hope that helps you.
