    I add a tablespoon to my morning coffee. I also like to add a tablespoon to a baked sweet potato. I imaging it would taste good on some steamed carrots or warmed berries as well.

    More suggestions:

    It separates. Pop it in the microwave (or under hot water) for about 20 seconds and stir it up. It is then creamy like peanut butter.

    if you eat cream cheese I make some with coconut butter,coconut oil,nut butter (I make my own and a blend of nuts ..almonds and cashew is my personal fav),cream cheese,cinnamon,raw shredded coconut and if you desire,a couple of drops of something sweet..I don't feel it needs it.
    Melt coconut oil in a double boiler..I then add in coconut butter and nut butter and the heat melds it together better.I then stir in cream cheese and the other bits.I use 2 spoons to make a dollop and put them in mini,mini cupcake liners and pop them in the fridge and they are good to go.
    I also love adding coconut butter to greek yogurt with other bits..like pomegranate seeds.
