Thanks everyone. I won't be starting the process until I figure out where the palm oil went, & I'll look into buying coconut oil + olive oil. I also need some gloves, goggles, & a different head for the better crocket hand blender b/c it seems like it may be made out of a plastic that could have a chemical reaction with the lye and I dont want to take any chances

I have the blender, but I have noticed, when I use it, my shakes don't thicken as much.
I am going to try a few with the blender, and then just shaking them to see what the real difference is. I bought one from Amazon for like 16 bucks the other day. Now it's like 14. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K05AZQY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not the best, but if you only use it for less than a minute at a time, and let it rest a bit, it seems to be really decent for the price.
