Coconut Cult is often sold out at stores, as people are racing to try the yogurt for themselves.

Coconut Cult has been gaining popularity on social media, specifically TikTok and Instagram in the past few weeks. Influencers, dietitians, and everyone in between are raving about all of the product’s benefits, claiming that their bloating has significantly reduced, their skin has instantly cleared, and that it tastes great. The product is so popular that stores are struggling to keep it in stock.

Coconut Cult is a coconut based yogurt that has 16 strains of bacteria, which help cultivate good bacteria in your gut to reduce bloating and counteract the bad bacteria. Coconut Cult has a variety of flavors such as Original, Chocolate Mousse, and Harvest Strawberry. It is sold at many different grocery store chains like Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme. Their 8 ounce jar costs $9.99 and lasts around two weeks. It is recommended you take one to two tablespoons per day and highly recommended you take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The company claims that the benefits of this product, alongside reduced bloating, include better skin, lower inflammation, better mood and mental health, and a boost in immunity. The pairing of probiotics and prebiotics cultivate a healthy gut. There are many mixed reviews on the taste, some loving it while others are gagging. As someone whose TikTok For You page is full of wellness and nutrition videos, I am constantly seeing videos about Coconut Cult.

After seeing all of the hype around Coconut Cult, I decided it was time to finally cave to the influencers and try it for myself. I was not expecting the flavor to be good after seeing many mixed reviews, but I was quickly surprised with the taste. I had very low expectations, as I do with most health trend foods, but it definitely was not as bad as I expected. It tastes similar to greek yogurt but with more of a coconut flavor. I take it every morning on an empty stomach like most people recommend. It took me two weeks, a spoonful a day, to finish the jar. I can agree with the influencers when they say that their skin has cleared from this product and how good they feel after eating it. I feel like my mood and energy levels have improved since starting it. There are definitely other ways/products to get your daily probiotics in such as kombucha or probiotic wellness shots, but Coconut Cult is a fun way to add them to your diet.
