Simpla coconut yogurt is healthy due to its minimal ingredients and clean ingredients. Coconut yogurt can be a healthy option depending on the ingredients and your dietary needs. Here are some factors to consider when looking at coconut yogurt brands:

Nutritional Content: Coconut yogurt is generally lower in protein compared to dairy-based yogurts. However, it is a good source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut. MCTs are easily metabolized and can provide a quick source of energy. Coconut yogurt may also contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but the specific nutritional profile can vary depending on the brand and preparation method.

Dairy-Free and Lactose-Free: Coconut yogurt is a suitable alternative for those who follow a dairy-free or lactose-free diet. It can be a good option for individuals with lactose intolerance or those who prefer to avoid dairy products due to dietary choices or allergies.

Probiotics: Like traditional dairy yogurts, some coconut yogurts are fermented using live cultures, which can provide beneficial probiotics. Probiotics are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome, support digestion, and enhance the immune system. However, not all coconut yogurts contain live cultures, so it's essential to check the label to ensure the presence of probiotics. Simpla is full of probiotics!

Added Ingredients: It's important to check the ingredients list when choosing coconut yogurt, as some varieties may contain added sugars, sweeteners, or artificial additives. These additions can affect the overall healthiness of the yogurt. Opting for unsweetened or minimally sweetened coconut yogurts with minimal additives is generally a healthier choice.

Individual Dietary Considerations: As with any food, the healthiness of coconut yogurt depends on your overall diet and individual needs. If you are watching your calorie intake, it's important to be mindful of portion sizes and the total calories in the yogurt you choose. If you have specific dietary concerns or restrictions, such as a nut allergy or a need for a higher protein content, you may need to explore other yogurt options that better suit your requirements.

Ultimately, when choosing coconut yogurt, consider factors such as nutritional content, added ingredients, and personal dietary needs to determine if it aligns with your health goals.

Coconut yogurt can sometimes separate due to natural processes that occur during fermentation or storage. Here are a few reasons why separation may occur:

Natural Fat Separation: Coconut yogurt contains natural fats, which can separate from the liquid portion of the yogurt over time. This separation is similar to what happens with regular dairy yogurt, where the cream or fat rises to the top. When coconut yogurt separates, you might notice a watery layer on top and a thicker layer at the bottom.

Temperature Fluctuations: Temperature changes during storage or transportation can also contribute to separation. Coconut yogurt is sensitive to temperature variations, and if it goes through a series of temperature fluctuations, the fats and liquids may separate more easily.

Lack of Stabilizers or Emulsifiers: Some commercially available coconut yogurts may use stabilizers or emulsifiers to prevent separation. These additives help to maintain a consistent texture and prevent the separation of fats and liquids. However, Simpla does not include these additives.

It's important to note that separation does not necessarily indicate spoilage or that the yogurt is no longer safe to consume. You can typically gently mix the separated layers back together before consuming the yogurt.

A newly stocked batch of coconut yogurt will have a slightly thinner consistency compared to a jar that has been refrigerated for a week or longer. If you prefer a thicker texture, you can achieve this by refrigerating the yogurt for a few days before opening. It's important to avoid shaking or stirring the yogurt vigorously as it disrupts the natural coagulation process. If the yogurt becomes too thick for your liking, you can add coconut water or almond milk to thin it out. Proper temperature control is crucial for maintaining a creamy consistency. Extremely cold temperatures, below 2 degrees, can cause the coconut cream's fatty acids to freeze and significantly thicken the yogurt, almost becoming hard. To prevent this, avoid placing the yogurt right at the back of the fridge.

Please check the date on your container. Once opened, we suggest consuming within 7 days for the freshest experience.
