It can also help regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. With its high content of essential vitamins and minerals, it’s no wonder that coconut is becoming an increasingly popular addition to any healthy plant-based protein diet.

Coconut is also a great source of protein, with one serving containing up to 7 grams of protein. Coconut protein drinks and coconut protein bars are becoming increasingly popular among those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional protein sources.

The Sweet Benefits Of Coconut Sugar

Since coconut sugar isn’t as well-known as coconut water, we’ll first explain what it is. Coconut sugar is basically the dehydrated and boiled sap of the coconut palm. The benefits that come with this sweet granulated sugar are making it a hot commodity fairly quickly! You’ll be pleased to learn that we also use coconut sugar in our Coconut Protein Drink, and all of our protein drinks!

Coconut sugar offers a lot more vitamins and minerals when compared to regular white sugar, containing trace amounts of potassium, vitamin C, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper. You’ll also find small amounts of phytonutrients, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidants, and anthocyanidin, as well as the B vitamin inositol, which is often used as a mood booster.
