This Homemade Coconut Yogurt is incredibly easy and quick to make. My recipe is a no ferment coconut yogurt. Why is that important?
Medical Medium states that fermented food is not helpful to our guts. The ‘bacteria’ found in fermented foods (also known as probiotics) are not beneficial to digestion. The bacteria involved in fermentation are the bacteria of decay. They are the same bacteria that make your strawberries get moldy. We don’t eat moldy food, so why are we ok with fermented foods? Our body does its best to expel the bacteria that cause decay in our bodies as quickly as possible. After consuming fermented foods, the body will often drive a bowel movement to remove the decay bacteria. People often mistake this for a ‘healthy’ sign that the probiotics are doing their job.
What are the good bacteria for our guts?
These are found on the surface of freshly picked fruits and vegetables and are called elevated biotics. They make it past the hydrochloric acid in our stomach, and when they enter the intestines, they make their home in our ileum and appendix. Here, their job is to produce B12 and support and back up the liver.
Without fermentation, we obtain a lot more nutrition from coconuts! Coconuts are a life-changing food. Medical Medium states in his book, Life Changing Foods, that “coconuts enhance the power of anything they touch”, which means, when combined with healing foods, coconut supercharges those benefits. Coconut water is very similar to human blood. Coconuts help with insomnia by providing the right blend of mineral salts for neurotransmitter production in our brains. “Coconut meat is highly antipathogenic” and “when coconut drops from the stomach into the intestinal tract, it kills off any pathogen it touches.”
Homemade Coconut Yogurt (No Ferment)
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 lemon juiced
Instructions
- Coconut milk in a can will naturally separate the cream on top and the water on the bottom.
- When you open the can, remove only the thick, creamy part of the coconut milk from the can.
- Be careful not to let the cream mix with the water.
- Blend the coconut cream and lemon juice together.
- Store your homemade coconut yogurt in the fridge and use it as needed.
- It remains good in the refrigerator for up to a week without fermenting.
- If you leave it longer, it will start to ferment slowly.

I’m excited to try this as there aren’t any “wholesome” coconut yogurts out there. Now I’m wondering, what can you make with the rest of the coconut milk liquid left in the can? I just hate to waste food. I’m sure you have some recipes that are amazing.
There are so many things you can do with the leftover coconut milk, Carla! A beautiful coconut milk curry with your favorite veggies and cauliflower rice is a wonderful option. You can also use it to make a homemade ice cream! A few recipes from my blog for inspiration are here for you too, let me know if you try any of them! <3 Muneeza

I tried this and it totally separated on me. Maybe because there’s guar gum in my coconut milk?
Hi Ron! We recommend using full-fat coconut milk from a can as the recipe outlines, with the water removed, which is much thicker than bottled coconut milk that you might use for cereal or baking. Is that what you tried and it still separated? You shouldn’t need guar gum in the coconut milk to make this recipe!
I followed the directions and separated the fat in the can. I think the guar gum caused the problem with separation I believe.
Ron I am sorry to hear – I recommend using the one without guar gum for that reason!
Hello, thanks for sharing this recipe. The link for homemade raw vegan coconut milk is not working.
Here is the link for you, Sultan! https://muneezaahmed.com/homemade-raw-vegan-coconut-milk/
I was very excited to try this but it didn’t work me, the coconut milk kept separate to the lemon juice despite blending and following the instructions. Can you perhaps show us on your IG how it looks like when you do it?
Sam! Thank you. Yes, I will share – I have never had an issue!
Hi Muneeza,
Does Fermented food slow Down the healing process? I eat gluten free Teef fermented nan almost everyday, but I am doing the MM protocol. Please advise.
Thank you in advance!!
Elfnesh – fermented foods can be hard on the gut.
This recipe is amazing and the info you provided was spot on and enlightening! After searching the internet for an hour plus for non-fermented, non dairy yogurt options, I almost gave up. Every recipe contained some form of probiotic. I just knew their had to be a way! Thank you for this. I just can’t get behind this whole probiotic movement thing. but I love yogurt! thanks again. 😊
Bryttani – thanks for making it and letting us know you enjoyed it! We love this recipe so much.
I cannot find canned coconut milk or coconut cream products that don’t contain additives and preservatives. Are there any?
I have them listed in my amazon store in the “pantry” section. Here is a link to my store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/muneeza_medical_intuitive

Wild Blueberry & Coconut Popsicles
