Sacred Serve makes plant-based gelato that's naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and boosted with beneficial superfood ingredients. The brand makes vibrant flavors like chaga chocolate, matcha mint chip, coconut salted caramel and saffron chai spice, which incorporate ingredients like functional mushrooms, matcha green tea, rosewater and peppermint essential oil. With a proprietary cold-crafting process, Sacred Serve preserves essential vitamins and minerals so that the frozen treats are densely packed with nutritional value.
Notably, the brand uses young coconut meat as the main ingredient in its products. As Sacred Serve's founder and CEO, Kailey Donewald, says: "To be clear, working with coconut milk would be a million times easier. Young coconut meat has less than half the calories and fat of coconut milk."
