Well...lookie here...
It's CocoBacon® Organic Coconut Bacon!
I have to post this today or else I will be plum-out of this flavored coconut snack and wouldn't be able to type as I munch!
Yes...it's true...this is pretty darn YUMMY but the best part(s) are that it's VEGAN, it's Gluten Free, it's a healthy fat, it's USDA Organic, and it's tasty!
A friend of mine - who is a real bacon person - and not a vegan person in the least - tried this and right away said...'that doesn't taste like bacon at all'. Well, as a vegan I don't really WANT it to taste EXACTLY like bacon, ya know? I really think people have to try things with an open mind. I think this person thought it was supposed to be a meat double or 'fake' meat alternative and that is simply NOT the case. It's a flavored snack and it's a mighty fine one. The ironic thing is...this same person came back a half hour later and asked me if they could have more. So...case and point...non-vegans like the flavor, too!
As for me - someone who was jumping into this snack tasting - by looking at it - as a flavored coconut sliver of a munchie - I was pleased, as well! WHY? Well, it's flavor is a JOY. Check out these simple yet tasty ingredients...
That's IT. And I like that! The fewer the ingredients the better! Nothing fake! The combination of sweet with a bit of salt with savory and shake of spices and smoke...very nice!
Over time I ate this by the handful or two at a time. The bag lasted me a while but it's coming to an end today. The crunch makes this snack very satisfying, too! I've used a handful on salads, too, instead of tortillas. YUM!
Regardless of what you are going to do with these - a snack - a condiment or accompaniment - or otherwise the important thing is - do you like the flavor and is a good for you - the answer - for both - were YES. That's why I LOVE these lil guys! They have other flavors, too, and I intend to share them with you down the road! In the meantime...check this company out below...

DeleteI've checked out Neil Diamond's Melody Road album - stunning! He sounds exactly like he did in the I am..I said, Song Sang Blue days. Love it! My favourite is probably "Do I wanna be yours". Beautiful!
It was quite tasty, too! Nice flavor combo!
DeleteRE: Neil Diamond...He did Something Blue on The Tonight Show last week! Classic Diamond :) Yes...I agree...his voice is still as strong as it was 30 or 40 years ago!!! What a song writer, eh!?
Yum! I make my own and I put it in salads, soups, you name it. I also eat it all by itself. Coconut bacon is the best!
ReplyDeleteDo you do yours in a dehydrator!? Sounds great!
DeleteThis looks very interesting and tasty, may need to try some and grab for hubby. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey also have dark chocolate and straight up Coconut Chips, too! YUM!
DeleteI really like coconut bacon. I bought another brand once and then started making it on my own. Maple bacon vegan gf cupcakes.....that is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes sound interesting!
DeleteI want to try this flavor! I’ve ony tried their original one from the Vegan Cuts Snack Box and they were pretty rich and tasty!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all 3 flavors :) I hope to review the Chocolate one, too, soon! OH!!! AND...we might be doing a giveaway in November!!! Stay Tuned :)
DeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteA non-vegan friend of mine mentioned recently that she was crazy about coconut bacon but I had never tried it so I am delighted that you shared this organic treat with us at the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop.
Keep an eye on my blog! Just received word that the company would like to do a series of giveaways right here on my blog! First up...probably in the next week or so...the variety pack!
DeleteI like the coconut bacon chips I found recently, but I love how few ingredients this one has. Where did you get them? Whole Foods?
ReplyDeleteThe company actually sent them to me direct :) I think the variety box price is a good one to try all three flavors :) YUM! I hope to partner up with them a few times for more giveaways in the future, too! I have one going on NOW thru Monday, too! Check it out if you haven't already :)
DeleteCocobacon no longer seems to be available. Here's a recipe for something similar, haven't tried it yet:
