I still would not use them as consistent meal replacements though.

I use the extra light olive oil from Costco – I think it is Bertolli? When blending the agitation makes stronger olive oils bitter, and there are not many other unsaturated fats that are both healthy (not loaded with omega 6 or transfats or rancid) and neutral tasting. Grapeseed oil might work, but the extra light olive oil has been fine for me.

As to the coconut oil, or any other saturated fat, you’re going to have a heck of a time keeping a proper emulsion as heat ruins mayo, but is necessary to soften those saturated fats like coconut, palm kernel, lard, and other similar bases. I don’t mess with success, so I have yet to test any other liquid oils, and wouldn’t consider doing the semi solids for the above reason :)

Yours has a wonderful flavor and it was very easy to make. I like that you use coconut oil. This is my third batch and each time it has turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing this Atkins Diet staple.

It made it less spreadable as a mayo until you beat it and warmed it up. The flavor was OK though.

Maybe it is the room temperature thing too, as the past times I was not as strict about the temp of my eggs. This time I placed them in luke warm water for 10 minutes or so before using. Being forethinking enough to set them out the night before is not a strong suit of mine. :-)

This is FABULOUS and truly fool proof! I’ve had this stick blender for 20 years (hate it when the answer is under your nose the whole time!) This is creamy, rich, flavorful, DELICIOUS! Now my creamy salad dressings (ranch, blue cheese, thousand island) will be much more LCHF friendly… THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I love your recipes, you have a lot of great ones on this site. Keep up the great job.
