Fresh Coconut Cream: A Better Coconut Cream Smoothie Starts Here

Choosing fresh coconut cream elevates your smoothie into a truly nourishing and flavorful experience.

If you love smoothies, you’ve probably tried coconut cream to add that creamy, tropical twist. But not all coconut cream is created equal. In fact, there’s a major difference between fresh coconut cream—like what we make at Coco Cubes—and the canned or boxed versions sitting on store shelves.

Here’s why choosing fresh coconut cream isn’t just about flavor—it's about making a smarter, healthier choice for your body and your lifestyle.

1. Pure Coconut Goodness — No Additives, No Compromises

Fresh coconut cream is exactly what it sounds like: pure cream, extracted from real coconuts without anything added or altered. It retains its full nutritional value, rich texture, and natural flavor—without the need for chemicals or shelf stabilizers.

Canned or boxed coconut creams, on the other hand, often contain:

  • Guar gum, xanthan gum, or cellulose – added to artificially thicken the cream

  • Preservatives like sodium metabisulfite or potassium metabisulfite, which can cause allergic reactions or irritation

  • Added sugar or flavors to compensate for a lack of freshness

These additives aren’t just unnecessary—they may also affect your digestion, contribute to inflammation, and disrupt your gut health over time.

2. Superior Nutrition from the Inside Out

Fresh coconut cream is naturally high in:

  • MCT fats that support energy, metabolism, and cognitive function

  • Lauric acid, a compound known for its antimicrobial and immune-boosting effects

  • Plant-based fiber, which helps you feel full and supports healthy digestion

Boxed and canned products are often heavily processed, which reduces or removes many of these benefits. High-heat treatments and long storage times can degrade vitamins, enzymes, and flavor.

3. Healthier Packaging for You and the Planet

Canned coconut cream often comes in aluminum cans that may contain BPA or other endocrine disruptors. Boxed coconut creams, typically packaged in multi-layered cartons, are difficult to recycle and may have synthetic linings.

Choosing fresh coconut cream made and packaged with care ensures you’re avoiding unnecessary chemical exposure and minimizing your environmental footprint.

4. Taste the Difference in Every Sip

Fresh coconut cream brings unmatched flavor and consistency to your smoothies. It offers:

  • A clean, bright coconut taste

  • A rich, creamy texture that blends smoothly

  • No separation or graininess, unlike many canned alternatives

The result? A coconut cream smoothie that feels indulgent but supports your healthiest goals.
