Dairy-Free Butter Recipes
By Dr. Ben Kim on May 04, 2008
When made with raw, organic milk, butter can be a healthy food choice, since it's naturally rich in healthy fatty acids, healthy cholesterol, and vitamin A.
If your body can't tolerate high quality dairy butter, you can still enjoy butter by mastering the following dairy-free butter recipes; extra-virgin olive oil and coconut oil are used as bases to create buttery goodness.
Olive Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
1. Whisk sea salt and extra-virgin olive oil together in a small bowl.
2. Pour mixture into a small container and freeze for 4 hours, or until solid.
Use this olive butter just as you would use a stick of dairy butter - you can cut off little squares to add to steamed vegetables, baked sweet potatoes, or any other foods that go well with butter.
This olive butter will stay fresh for several months if stored in the freezer.
Soft Whipped Coconut Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon light miso
Directions:
Use a spoon or fork to thoroughly mix miso with coconut oil (solid state). Voila - you have coconut butter that resembles soft whipped butter.
This soft whipped coconut butter will stay fresh for two months if kept in the freezer.

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher, I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very understandable. I really enjoyed your contribution regarding macular degeneration. Keep up the good work. - Kristine Erickson, OD, PhD, FAAO

Thanks for your excellent health newsletter. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for providing the best online health resource I have found. - Moorea Maguire, M.A.
I thank you and your staff for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher, MSW
Olive Oil Butter
YES!
A fabulous and healthy spread!
I love to whip in flavors.
Add favorite flavors and emulsify in a blender then store in a wide-mouth jar in the refrigerator.
It is spreadable like a soft-spread butter from the refrigerator.
- Garlic & herb
- Agave or honey & cinnamon
- sundried tomato & herb
- parmesan or other cheese and herb if you use dairy
- pesto
Have a variety of flavors stashed ready to spread!
Thank You Dr Kim!
