We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
As more people follow a flexitarian lifestyle and look for meat and dairy alternatives, non-dairy yogurts fill a needed niche.
Harmless Harvest introduced Organic Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt to their brand line in early 2020. Harmless Harvest Coconut Yogurt is made from organic young Thai coconuts, with no artificial additives or gums to thicken the texture. It is naturally cultured with seven live probiotic strains that are noted on the label.
Harmless Harvest Coconut Yogurt is available in four flavors in 4.4-ounce cups. All have a creamy texture and a mild flavor with no coconut aftertaste. Except for the fact that each flavor is milder and less tangy than traditional dairy yogurt, it is not obvious that these are coconut milk-based yogurts. The nutrition profile of the flavors is very similar.

Blueberry has 18 grams of carb and 8 grams of added sugar.
Plain has 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of protein, 14 grams of carb (with 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of added sugar), 15 milligrams of sodium and 94 milligrams of potassium. This one was our favorite.
