Here’s your super-simple coconut yogurt recipe using that probiotic:
Ingredients
- Fresh coconut flesh
- Coconut water (from the same coconuts, or extra if needed)
- Your water kefir probiotic powder (from the jar in the photo)
Steps
- Blend coconut flesh with just enough coconut water to make it creamy.
- Add probiotic – about 1 teaspoon of the powder per 1 cup of coconut blend.
- Mix gently (don’t overblend after adding probiotic).
- Transfer to a clean glass jar.
- Cover loosely (cloth or lid slightly open).
- Ferment at room temp for 12–24 hours, until slightly tangy.
- Refrigerate and enjoy.
If you want it thicker → use less liquid when blending.
If you want it milder → ferment for less time.
WARM WATER?
Is it okay to add the probiotic if this coconut cream is at room temperature ? You told me earlier that it was better to use warm water is that correct?
Yes — you can add the probiotic to coconut cream at room temperature, but here’s the nuance:
- Room temperature works fine for your water kefir–based probiotic, because it’s a live culture that can activate without heat.
- Warm (around 37–40°C) is sometimes recommended for dairy yogurt starters because certain bacteria grow faster in that range — but if it’s too hot, it can kill them.
- Since yours is a dehydrated water kefir probiotic (different from dairy yogurt cultures), it’s actually better not to heat it too much. Room temperature or just slightly warm is ideal.
For you, the safest and easiest method is:
- Blend coconut flesh and coconut water at room temperature.
- Add probiotic, stir gently, and ferment.
If your environment is cooler (below 25°C), you can place the jar somewhere slightly warm — near sunlight, in a warm cupboard, or wrapped in a towel — but don’t heat the mixture directly.
Fail-Proof Warm Fermentation Trick for Coconut Yogurt
➡️ After adding the probiotic, place the jar inside a closed container or box with a cup of warm (not hot) water next to it, then replace the warm water every few hours — this keeps the environment gently warm without heating the yogurt directly.
This way, the probiotic stays alive, the fermentation speeds up, and you avoid overheating.
