My daughter is always showing me the latest trends on social media. This week it is edible beauty butter. It’s “beauty” butter because it contains adaptogens (superfoods that help your body adapt to stress), and pearl powder. Pearl powder is interesting – it’s been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine for beautification. It’s purportedly a total elixir for gorgeous skin, hair, and nails. Pearl powder is not strictly vegan, but some vegans still use it. You just need to make sure it comes from a reliable and sustainable source. The reason I wanted to DIY is that I realized that I could add in any superfoods that I fancied – and I have quite a lot of them hanging around in my pantry - for MUCH less than buying it! I did a bunch of taste tests, and my two favorites are the Matcha Honey and the Beautiful Berry. Both taste like white chocolate! The base is coconut butter or coconut “manna” which is whipped up from dried coconut flesh. So, unlike coconut oil, there is tons of fiber, which makes it a whole food. It does still contain saturated fat, so it should be eaten as a special treat.
Ingredients
- 16-ounce mason jar (or jam jar)
- 16 ounces of coconut manna // https://amzn.to/2tz4H9F
- 1 tsp of matcha powder (I like Jade Leaf Matcha // http://bit.ly/2JTVFOG) or 2 tsp of Miracle Reds Raw Organic Superfood // https://amzn.to/2txRD4u
- 1 tsp of honey (this is a great vegan honey // https://amzn.to/2KtkFfm) or 2-3 drops of stevia
- 1 tsp of pearl powder // http://bit.ly/2MYUgnM
Instructions
- Warm the manna in the microwave for about 40 seconds. If you don’t have a microwave (or don’t want to use one), you could warm in a double boiler. You just need to get it really soft.
- Place it in a mixing bowl
- Add the remaining ingredients, and use an immersion blender or a sturdy whisk (here's a link to the push whisk I used: https://amzn.to/2IvzWXQ) to whisk it up really well.
- Pour into your mason or jam jar.
- It will set at room temperature. I recommend storing it in a dark, cool cabinet. It will keep for up to 3 months. If you want it softer for pouring onto granola, just pop it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
