Our Delectable Dairy-Free Yogurt
We know that the phrase “yogurt alternative” can send shivers down your spine. We’ve all taken a bite of a dairy-free yogurt just to have it be gooey, runny, and taste like nothing. Luckily, we cracked the code with our dairy-free coconut yogurt, which we’d go so far to say is the best coconut yogurt out there. That’s because we hand scoop the coconut meat from the same young Nam Hom coconuts used in our delightfully pink coconut water. The succulent, naturally sweet meat is blended to creamy perfection for a luxurious bite with every spoonful. Plus utilizing all parts of the coconut lets us divert food waste from landfills, so this unsweetened coconut yogurt is as good for you as it is for the planet!
Because we only start with the best ingredients, there’s no need for any added sugars, flavors, or any other junk. Just pure, naturally sweet coconut! And this vegan coconut yogurt is delicious beyond just on a maple glaze — you can drizzle it with some honey and add granola for an easy breakfast, swap it out in your favorite savory dishes, or just scoop it straight out of the tub. With a yogurt this fresh, creamy, and tasty, there’s no wrong way to enjoy!
Keep It Classic
We wouldn’t even have our delicious coconut yogurt without our O.G. — our Organic Coconut Water. It’s the bread to our butter, the peanut butter to our jelly, and the maple to our pecan. It’s as light, refreshing, and naturally sweet as it gets. It feels like a treat, but it’s hydrating, has naturally occurring electrolytes, and has no additives, sugars, or flavors. It tastes good, and it’s good for you — it’s naturally-pink proof that you really can have it all.
Not only is it good for you, but it’s also good for the planet. We take our name seriously, which means we’re committed to providing you the quality you expect without adding harm to the planet. That’s why we only partner with organic farms in Thailand that use sustainable methods, plus a portion of every coconut purchase goes to supporting the community in Thailand. So whether you’re sipping post gym or at your desk, you can know that you’re helping us uplift communities and reduce environmental impact!
