Superfood Spotlight: Coconut & Cocoa – A Decadent Duo

Superfood Spotlight: Coconut & Cocoa – A Decadent Duo

We’re starting a new series where we shine a light on the powerhouse ingredients in We Three Girls granola. First up: coconut and cocoa—two tropical delights that make your granola taste like a dessert and still deliver real health benefits. Grab a spoon and let’s dive in!

Coconut: Crunchy, Creamy & Oh‑So‑Good

Coconut flakes are the star of our Coconut Almond granola and add a luscious twist to our Chocolate Cherry Matcha and Ginger & Turmeric. Beyond tasting like sunshine, coconut meat is loaded with fiber and medium‑chain triglycerides (MCTs). Healthline notes that MCTs may raise your “good” HDL cholesterol, lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and even help you feel full . Coconut also supplies minerals such as manganese and copper and contains antioxidants that support immunity. That goodness means you can enjoy coconut’s natural sweetness while giving your body a boost—talk about a win–win!

Here’s a fun fact: coconut palm trees are sometimes called the “tree of life” because they provide food, water, shelter and even clothing in many tropical regions. In your granola bowl, shredded coconut adds chewy texture and a touch of beach‑vacation magic.

Cocoa: Rich Flavor with Real Benefits

Cocoa powder and dark chocolate turn several of our granolas—like Dark Chocolate Chunk, Cocoa Lavender and Coffee Crunch—into a healthy indulgence. Don’t let the decadent flavor fool you: cocoa is a superfood packed with polyphenols and flavanols. Harvard Health explains that cocoa flavanols can lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, prevent clotting and protect against cell damage. Cocoa may also improve mood, aid weight management and offer potential cancer‑protective properties.

Why This Duo Rocks

Coconut and cocoa are often paired in desserts, but in We Three Girls granola they offer a wholesome twist. Coconut provides healthy fats and essential minerals while cocoa adds antioxidants and mood‑boosting compounds. Together they create layers of texture—from crisp coconut flakes to rich cocoa flavors—that transform breakfast into a moment of bliss. Try Coconut Almond for a light, tropical taste or Dark Chocolate Chunk for a decadent start to your day.

Stay tuned for the next installment of our superfood series, where we’ll highlight two more ingredients from the We Three Girls granola lineup. Until then, spoon up this decadent duo and savor every bite!
