MEET THE COCONUTS

WE BELIEVE

Cor de Coco was started to create a healthy and delicious alternative to dairy milk products. We wanted drinks that tasted great and didn't compromise on quality; they had to "feel" like the "real" milk alternative, without the dairy. As iced coffee fanatics this was where we started and it has grown from there to a dream that Cor De Coco will be the number one alternative dairy brand for health lovers.  

Why coconuts? We have seen coconuts providing food, hydration, medicine, fuel and building materials in communities from Cape York in Australia to Vietnam and Sri Lanka. They are one of the most delicious, sustainable, healthy and life changing plants in the world. With at least 65% coconut water in our unique formulation it also means our drinks are super hydrating, plus we have the added health benefit of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium and vitamin C that come from the coconut. 

We truly believe in the goodness of natural, high quality ingredients and we are foodies at heart. We also have three out of our five family members who struggle with lactose and regularly feel the disappointment of being left without a single-serve, ready to drink, non-dairy option. 

Our shakes were first imagined in 2019 to solve this challenge for our family (and many others like it), so we spent months carefully crafting a new formula made with only premium ingredients to deliver on our goal of bringing a non-dairy, single serve shakes and iced coffees to market that maintained our natural and allergen friendly brand position. We landed on the winning formula you can enjoy today; one our whole family truly loves. 

As a brand we are not dairy haters, we are dairy dodgers… and we are not big fans of all the artificial stuff. Our name, Cor de Coco, means “from the heart of the coconut” and we hope you love what we have made for you as much as your whole family's tummies will.
