Healthy living treats: Coconut Bliss

Love ice cream, but need to avoid dairy? There are many types of frozen treats, and some are healthier than others. For a great alternative, try Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss. Coconut Bliss is organic, soy free, gluten free, and vegan. The base is made from healthy organic coconut milk. Instead of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners, Coconut Bliss is sweetened with organic agave syrup from the agave plant which grows naturally throughout Mexico. All the ingredients in Coconut Bliss are natural and organic. For example:

The Naked Coconut flavor’s ingredients
• Organic Coconut Milk (Organic Coconut, Water, Guar Gum)
• Organic Agave Syrup
• Organic Dried Coconut
• Organic Coconut Extract
• Organic Fair Trade Vanilla Extract

The Dark Chocolate flavor’s ingredients
• Organic Coconut Milk (Organic Coconut, Water, Guar Gum)
• Organic Agave Syrup
• Organic Fair Trade Vanilla Extract
• Organic Fair Trade Cocoa

Coconut Bliss can be purchased at Whole Foods, Fresh & Natural, Kowalski’s Market, and many co-ops throughout the Twin Cities. Click HERE for a full listing. The cost can range from $5.99-6.99 per pint, but sometimes goes on sale. Currently, Whole Foods has Coconut Bliss on sale for $5.69 pint.

Buyer Beware: Trader Joes sells their own variety of a frozen coconut treat, and although it is less expensive, it is not organic and contains many artificial ingredients.
