🧠 Coconut = Functional Fuel

Coconut isn’t just trendy — it’s deeply therapeutic. The MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) in coconut are known to support cognitive health, hormone production, and fat metabolism. The fiber content supports healthy digestion and blood sugar stability.

When paired with collagen and seeds, you’re looking at a snack that’s not just good — it’s smart.
