Yes that is right, you can win your very own PINT full of Bliss! I am having a contest – and you need to have a few things in order to participate.
Well not really, you just have to tell me how much you love coconut bliss and why? The word needs to get out about how delicious and amazing dairy free, soy free and gluten free ice cream is. There are many varieties of this fabulous ice cream and I want you to try it! Some of their flavours include: naked coconut, vanilla bean, chocolate mint, hazelnut fudge, cappuccino, cherry amaretto, pineapple coconut and a few more!
But first I am going to give you a little intro as to why coconuts are so good for you, as I feel most people still don’t understand the power, pleasure and possibilities of coconuts on their health and their happiness! (Yes that’s right, coconuts make you happy and so does ice cream!)
First off, let’s just discuss how passionate the owners of these amazing pints are. Luna and Larry both share a love for ice cream – but not just any kind of ice cream COCONUT ICE CREAM.
They have spent years perfecting their perfect blends and take pride in using the best quality ingredients, did you know that their coconut milk is brought in by boat from an organic family farm in Thailand? The land where coconuts thrive and are in abundance!
Did you also know that coconuts are not a nut…they are a Drupe (or hard pit) surrounded by fleshy skin.
Many doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists (including myself) believe coconut oil to be one of the healthiest oils for human consumption and great for your heart too!
Here are a few facts on Coconut Oil (from Luna and Larry)
- coconut milk meat and oil contain lauric acid, which is naturally antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-fungal
- coconuts are excellent for your immune system, and good for your skin (which is why it is the base of so many moisturizers and cosmetics)
- coconut milk is made from coconut meat
- coconut oil may even help you to lose weight!
So even though coconut oil is a Saturated Fat – it is not like the saturated fats in animal products that contain cholesterol and promote heart disease. Those are long chain fatty acids and they are harder for our bodies to break down, so we are more likely to store them as fat.
Health experts for year have told people to stay away from saturated fats, but coconut oil is different. It has no cholesterol and contains medium chain fatty acids which we can easily break down and use for energy. Studies now show that coconut oil may actually reduce the risk of heart disease by raising “good” HDL cholesterol and help yo lose weight by speeding up the rate at which your body burns fuel.
So if all of this information hasn’t sold you yet, then maybe winning a FREE PINT will prove just how delicious and fantastic Coconut Bliss is.
Be one of the 5 people (and must be Canadian) that I will select to win a pint.

I have never tried Coconut Bliss but I would LOVE to try it because I recently discovered that my acne problem is caused by consuming dairy products, most specifically butter, cheese, and cream. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been able to indulge in a cup of ice cream and I have really been missing it. I want to try Coconut Bliss to have that cold creamy taste cross my lips again!
Hi Samantha – well then you are the lucky winner of Coupon # 1 – 4 More to give out! Keep posting!
I tried two flavours of it at the Toronto Vegetarian Food Expo and it was unbelievably good.
I won’t actually enter since I just won that amazing Prana bar–thanks so much! But I have heard so much about Luna & Larry’s that I had to poke my nose in and say good luck to everyone, and can’t wait to try it!
You know I have to enter because I think that Coconut Bliss is the best thing on Earth! As a vegan who tries to avoid soy at all costs, Coconut Bliss is a fabulous alternative and taste amazing.
I am in desperate need of a real treat!!! I keep hearing how amazing these coconut Bliss are and must have one!!!
I have not yet had the opportunity to try Coconut Bliss. I want to try it because it appears I am allergic to dairy. I have asthma and whenever I eat ice cream I cough and at times vomit. My daughter is severely lactose intolerant. Unfortunately we have never found an ice cream substitute that doesn’t taste fake. That is hard to explain but the substitutes don’t taste natural.
I tried it at the veg food fair, and it was creamy and delicious! (It didn’t even taste like coconut, although I would not have minded). It’s an awesome alternative to traditional ice cream.
I would Love Love Love to try Coconut bliss icecream!! I have heard sooo many amazing things about it, but its one of those things I never think to purchase! But to have a special treat like that in the freezer and to eat and enjoy it guilt free would be sooo nice! (I also don’t do well with dairy at all-so try avoid at all times!)
Georgie,
Coconut Bliss is a treat and you will love every bite of it!
I love coconut bliss ice cream – I have brought it to work functions and it is the first non-dairy dessert that my older brother admitted was just as good as his favourite dairy-laiden brand. That made me very, very happy.
I love coconut bliss! I’ve been in love with it since this past summer. I love being able to taste the real coconut in the icecream & I enjoy the fact that it’s sweetened with Agave.
Everyone I’ve introduced to this icecream has fallen in love with it – my housemates get two boxes of the bars every week now! One of my favorite things about the icecream is watching my 2 yr old housemate sit down & focus on his meal when the icecream is presented to him – I like how he finishes his icecream bar before any of the other adults then proceeds to ask for more! I would love to win a tub so that I can invite some friends over for a fun fall evening with icecream sharing & good food
Helena, thanks so much for Sharing! The contest is unfortunately over… the chocolate bars are fantastic. Taste better than any fudgesicle EVER!
So far the winners are Samantha, Georgie, Susan Vibeke and Fabienne! Congrats to all of those who have won. More contests to come!
Once you have tried your bliss, please share!
