GF/CF Product Review: So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt !

Turtle Mountain has introduced another winner into the Channel household: So Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk Yogurt with active and live cultures.

After Edward’s favorable review of Turtle Mountain’s Purely Decadent gluten-free/casein-free ice cream, the good people in their marketing department shared several more products with us!

While six flavors are available, here’s a breakdown of typical ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: WATER, COCONUT MILK, BLUEBERRIES, ORGANIC EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, PECTIN, CHICORY ROOT EXTRACT, DEXTROSE, NATURAL FLAVORS, ALGIN (KELP EXTRACT), MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, RICE STARCH, LOCUST BEAN GUM, AGAR, CULTURE, CARRAGEENAN, GUAR GUM, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, VITAMIN B12.

Live Active Cultures include: L. Bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Plantarum, L. Rhamnosus, L. Paracasei and Bif. Lactus

Edward grabbed raspberry first.  It had small chunks of berries and was quite creamy:

He ate it quickly and hungrily, proclaiming that it tasted just like “real yogurt that I haven’t had in a such a long, long time!”  He also enjoyed the blueberry flavor and deemed it his favorite.

Sue, who is three, and Joseph, age 8, also thought both fruit yogurts were fabulous.

The mango was not so well-received by Edward.  He described it as “slimy, sour and gross…like ‘rotty’ mango.”  I tasted it, and it was quite sour.  Missing also were the fruit chunks that the blueberry and raspberry included; the consistency was that of baby food bananas.

Sue, however, proclaimed the mango as her favorite and ate the entire carton!  She claimed it tasted like carrots (??)

Edward, ever the critic, also made a confused face when he read about the “plain” yogurt.

“Plain is not a flavor! I think I’m not going to like it!”

He was wrong, however; he thrilled to the plain, crying out, “Give me more, mom!”  He also enjoyed the vanilla, describing it as tasting like “vanilla cake and key lime pie!”

I’ll be requesting my local Publix add this to their offerings.  The Turtle Mountain web site even has a handy grocery request form you can give your local store.

Edward’s advice:  “They should keep making it!”
