Coconut Organics: A New Healthy Addiction

By Marla Milling Published November 13, 2014

The Big Love festival in Asheville, N.C. introduced us to a snack food we can’t get enough of and we’re sure you’ll love it too. How can you resist a healthy option that includes bacon? Yeah, we knew that would get your attention.

Coconut Organics, founded in 2010, produces CocoBacon—a vegan bacon alternative snack made from coconut chips. They spice and flavor them so they have the satisfaction and taste of real bacon, but better for you.

Ingredients include toasted organic coconut chips, organic coconut oil, low-glycemic organic coconut sugar, sea salt, and organic mesquite smoke flavor and a unique spice blend. Price for a two-bag pack of CocoBacon is only six bucks or buy a case for $24.

But that’s not all. They also have plain coconut chips and another flavored with dark chocolate.

Give ’em a shot and let us know what you think.

The Evergreen State has so much to offer, from high desert expanses and exciting American Viticultural Areas to ocean beaches and the new Seattle waterfront. In between, there are some Washington gems that can get overlooked, Like Tacoma, a good-sized city with an above-average culinary presence.

Set just outside of Seattle, Tacoma boasts about 230,000 people, a charming downtown, and beautiful views of the Puget Sound.

Peanut butter coffee: A creamy twist on your favorite brew (and how to make it)

3 variations of peanut butter coffee

Unlike french vanilla or hazelnut coffee, the term "peanut butter coffee" isn't one you've likely heard often (or at all). I first encountered peanut butter coffee on an Instagram reel where a fellow coffee lover showed a latte brewed into a cup filled with peanut butter. Since I love creamy peanut butter almost as much as I love coffee, it's safe to say the idea of peanut butter coffee intrigued me.

As it turns out, Alex Zapata's variation of peanut butter coffee is only one of the many ways creative coffee lovers use peanut butter and coffee together. If you're as intrigued about this flavor pairing as I am, here are three ways to try peanut butter coffee for yourself.
