Since I moved to New England, I noticed that my favorite yogurt is NOT in the local Whole Foods, though it was always available in my Whole Foods in New Orleans: Silk PLAIN soy yogurt in the large containers. Sniff.....they only had vanilla...with no plans of getting the plain in....ever....
So I tried WholeSoy. Fail. Something about the texture wasn't right.
Trader Joe's soy yogurt. I can't remember if it was plain or vanilla. Not right either.
I tried WildWood. Nope. Not my thing. And these others were also higher calorie than Silk.
So I tried a couple of small container ones (though these are much more expensive):
So Delicious Almond Milk (Greek Style) Plain:
Ok. Kind of a strange texture. And maybe too much of an almond taste??
So Delicious Coconut Milk (Greek Style) Plain:
You know...I'm just not a coconut flavored person for these kinds of things. (I know your mouths have all dropped in amazement by now...) I love coconut milk ice cream, but not yogurt, and NOT creamer for my coffee!!
People have different tastes, I know.....I've heard people rave about the So Delicious yogurts or even Amande (which I'm still scared to try because I read so many bad reviews)!! Has anyone tried Ricera's rice-based yogurt?
But here's my own personal favorite....and guess what?? I finally found it at the River Valley Market in Northampton!! THANK YOU :)
(from the Silk site)
I usually put granola in plain yogurt and eat it that way. But I also use it in Kathy's most amazing Spinach Sauerkraut dip!! I could eat that stuff everyday :)
I did not try the other yogurts in the dip, only alone with granola.
What's your favorite vegan yogurt? What's your favorite way to eat it?
Eat smart,

It is really a personal preference sort of thing with vegan yogurts, isn't it! I personally like some of those you list as having a weird textures,
ReplyDeletebut I can say with *loud* conviction that I would not recommend Ricera to anyone! Personally, I think Amande is the best almond milk yogurt I have had - seriously!
Thank you for the warning about Ricera! And perhaps one day I will give Amande a try....
ReplyDeleteI liked yoghurt before I went vegan but we don't have many good vegan options here so it's something I no longer eat. I'm a bit jealous of all your options!
