Soooooo Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt



Admittedly, I've never been a huge yogurt person. I like it - don't get me wrong - but because I don't obsess over "probiotics," I never pursued it as health food, and because I tend to opt for fruit smoothies for breakfast, I just never saw the need to add yogurt to my morning ritual. I've enjoyed many soy yogurts in the past, particularly peach and vanilla, and because of my husband's affinity for them, they often took up residence in our fridge and in his belly.

All that has changed - all thanks to Turtle Mountain. If that name isn't familiar to you, you most likely know them as "So Delicious" or "Purely Decadent," the most delicious line of non-dairy ice creams EVER (in my humble opinion). Formerly referring to their line of non-dairy goodies as "Soy Delicious," I see now why they've changed it. They have expanded beyond soy milk as the base for their ice creams and yogurts and have delved into the delicious world of coconut milk!

Their new line of coconut-milk-based yogurt is unbelievably delicious. I confess I've tried only the vanilla, because I fell in love at first taste, before it was even down the hatch - and I prefer to dress it up with my own fruit and nuts. But I do look forward to trying the other flavors as well, which include blueberry, chocolate (yikes!), passionate mango, plain, pina colada, raspberry, strawberry, and strawberry banana.

The yogurt is thick, creamy, delicious (did I mention delicious) and full of all those good little bacteria people get so kooky about. Another great food from a great company. Check out their website and store locator to find a store near you that carries it, then run out and buy some. And if you get to the chocolate before I do, let me know what ya think! Enjoy!
