Does anyone know a good recipe that uses coconut water or the meat of the coconut?
I am amazed with them right now and want to try new things.
Thanks

You could roll banans in a mixture of crushed nuts, coconuts and liquid sweetner such as honey or agave.

Another could be dates or date/nuts ball rolled in coconut & liquid sweetner.

Smoothies & beverages can be great with coconuts. i.e. strawberry/coconut; pineapple/coconut.

Wishing you vibrant health

I made a banana coconut cream pie once that was delicious. I don't have all the details with me at work, but for the filling I basically food-processed the meat from some young coconuts and some bananas into a filling which went into an almond-based pie shell. The filling also had some pitted dates (well-soaked for blend-ability) and maybe some vanilla.

If you haven't made a nut-based pie crust before, it's really simple. Soak the nuts if you plan to. Food process the nuts into a meal, then slowly add either well-soaked dates or agave nectar to create a sticky, sweet dough. I've seen recipes that call for a teaspoon of salt, but it's not necessary and that's basically it. Put the dough directly into a non-metal pie plate and push it into a pie crust shape.

I've had raw recipes completely ruined by using metal cookware. They seem to interact with it a lot more than the things I used to cook. Dry dates are great, but a good, long soak is really vital if you want them to blend up smoothly.
