Did You Say Rich & Creamy Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative?
Yes! If you’re a fan of our original Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative, then you will LOVE our new Rich & Creamy Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. A vegan yogurt that's decadent and creamy without any added sugar? It’s not too good to be true. To make sure our Rich & Creamy plant-based yogurt alternative tastes anything but “alternative,” we've added organic coconut cream to give it some luxurious oomph. We puree until we get a dreamy texture you'll want to spoon again and again.
But that delightfully tangy taste is just the start! There are plenty more reasons our Rich & Creamy unsweetened yogurt alternative is a cut above the rest, like having no added sugar! That slight sweetness you experience is naturally occurring from the blend of coconut meat and organic coconut cream to create that oh-so dreamy rich & creamy texture. This dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free alternative even has five live and active yogurt strains in each tub. In short: it’s full of everything you want, and nothing you don’t!
Try topping it with granola or your favorite nut butter for a hearty breakfast, throw it in the kiddo’s lunch box with a drizzle of honey, or simply spoon it up as you please for an easy anytime snack. It’s also the ultimate dairy-free dupe in all sorts of dishes, both sweet and savory. Need some inspo? We have plenty of recipes like this one over on our blog (and are always adding more).
