CoCoMe’s founder Sharon, scientifically formulated CoCoMe - it became a three month obsession - to determine just the right combination of ingredients that make CoCoMe renowned for its rich flavour and creamy consistency.

Every single batch of CoCoMe coconut yoghurts and custards are hand poured and pot set, plus with eight hours of fermenting helps to ensure our yoghurts and custards are filled with ‘good’ bacteria, live cultures and probiotics to aid digestive health.

Plus you can also expect our yoghurts and custards to be full of vitamins, minerals and good fats due to the ingredients we use. Our complete range is low in GI and you also won’t find any preservatives, artificial flavours or fillers in any of our products.

We also have an array of flavours to suit ‘every body’.

Our coconut yoghurts are made by adding non-dairy cultures to coconut milk to ferment some of its carbohydrates, producing acid which is responsible for our yoghurt’s creamy consistency and tangy taste.

There are many health benefits to eating coconut yoghurt including:

PROBIOTICS
Probiotics help balance microflora in the gut, controlling bad bacteria and can assist in reducing the severity and symptoms associated with IBS, gas, diarrhoea and some yeast infections.

SAURATED FATS
One average serving contains 4.5g of the only saturated fats that are essential for health.

FIBRE
One 170g serving of unsweetened coconut yoghurt provides approximately 6g of fibre.

CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM
An average serving contains 25% to 30% of the recommended daily intake of calcium and magnesium. Calcium is essential for bone health and magnesium is essential for muscle health.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS
One 170g serving provides 25% to 30% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12 which is essential for red blood cell production and 25% to 30% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D.

SUGAR AND SODIUM
Unsweetened coconut yoghurt contains no refined sugars and very little sodium.

ANTIOXIDANTS
Coconut yoghurt is a great source of antioxidants.

PLANT-BASED
If you consume a vegan or paleo diet, are lactose intolerant or follow a low FODMAP diet, coconut yoghurt can be a great alternative to dairy products.

Coconut yoghurt is an alternative to consuming dairy and is a wonderful addition to ‘every body’s’ diet especially people who are lactose intolerant, are avoiding dairy products for medical reasons or for others who choose to follow a plant-based diet and lifestyle.

Our coconut yoghurts and custards offer another way of incorporating live cultures and probiotics into your diet, which are necessary for a healthy gut microbiome.

All of our yoghurts and custards are gluten free and are made in a gluten free environment.

All of our yoghurts and custards are FODMAP friendly. All of our ingredients are plant-based, including the live cultures that are specifically derived and grown on a non-dairy culture base.

Sometimes when you open a tub of yoghurt - coconut or dairy, or a pot of cream or sour cream - you might notice a watery layer on top. It’s called ‘whey’. This happens when the yoghurt lets go of some of the liquid and seperates, then it accumulates on top - this process is known as syneresis.

It’s perfectly ok to eat, in fact, the whey contains vitamins and minerals and we encourage you to stir it back through the yoghurt before serving!

Yes! All of our yoghurts and custards are 100% vegan friendly. We only use natural plant-based ingredients including the live cultures that are specifically derived and grown on a non-dairy culture base.

Not all sugars are created equal. Sugars aren’t all made the same - there are different types of sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose. All of which are broken down and used differently by our bodies.

Natural occurring sugars such as maple syrup, agave and molasses are made up of only sucrose molecules instead of refined sugars found in the majority of processed foods that also contain both glucose and fructose. Fructose is seen as the main culprit that contributes to the growing epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes and obesity.

Our sweetener of choice is pure Canadian maple syrup.

Why do we only use Canadian maple syrup? Because only real maple syrup is pure and made in Canada. Other maple-flavoured syrups contain artificial flavours and a concoction of different sugars and chemicals - check the label, it clearly states if it is artifically flavoured.

The sugars we use in our delicious Chocolate Fudge Sauce and Salted Caramel Sauce, found in our coconut yoghurts, are raw and as minimally processed to maintain the multiple vitamins, minerals and polyphenois that have been shown to benefit glucose metabolism.

But remember, moderation is key!

All of the sugars we use at CoCoMe are naturally derived, we don’t add refined sugars - in fact we’re sweet enough!

If you have diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2, we do recommend you eat our yoghurt in moderation. For people with diabetes or any medically controlled diet, when introducing a new food, introduce it gradually in small amounts. If you have any adverse reactions it can be monitored and controlled.

CoCoMe coconut yoghurt is safe to give to children under the age of five, as we do not add any refined sugars, additives or preservatives.

The gut of many young babies are not yet mature enough to digest the lactose in diary based yoghurts. Coconut yoghurt does not contain lactose and is easier for their gut to digest. Plus, it also provides them with the necessary cultures and probiotics to ensure a healthy gut microbiome, especially when weaning from breast feeding or when introducing solid food into their diet.
