When I was a little kid, I was a big fan of Dannon Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt. My favorite flavors were dutch apple and blueberry. As I became more health conscious, I got into the Fage Greek Yogurts, specifically the ones that came with a little side of fruit puree that you could combine into the yogurt cup.
Since I've been back to going dairy-free, I haven't really been craving yogurt. But, I was intrigued by So Delicious' Coconut Yogurts. Today, as my pre-yoga snack, I had the blueberry flavor. It doesn't have the "fruit on the bottom" type texture that I liked in my yogurt, and it was not as thick as I was expecting. I did like the flavor - you could definitely taste the blueberry and I caught a hint of coconut. My co-worker noted that it smelled delicious as well.From an ingredient standpoint, it has some positives and some things that may give you some pause. On the positive side, it's fortified with B-12 (30%) and also isn't a bad source of calcium (15%). It also has active and live cultures, just like your typical dairy yogurt. Plus, there's even 3 grams of fiber in there! However, if you're a "clean" eater or wary of additives, the ingredients may read like a chemistry experiment. That being said, if you aren't eating a traditional dairy yogurt for ethical reasons, or if you're having trouble tolerating dairy, I think this is fine as an occasional substitute.
Tonight, my fellow yogini and food blogger, Valerie, posted a review of So Delicious' Greek Style Almond Yogurt. She raved about it, and I look forward to checking it out!
