Fro-yo girl here. The new coconut-based yogurt products keep coming. I recently found Cocojune on sale at Sprouts for $1.99 (regular price, $2.29). The shelf tag also said it was new. Cocojune’s line of organic cultured coconut yogurt is plant-based, vegan, probiotic (with billions of probiotics), non-GMO, pesticide free. The flavors also sounded interesting and appealing. One container is 4 oz (smaller than usual).
The paper cup is eco-friendly. They also claim to have better probiotics. “Our probiotics are science-backed. We’ve teamed up with a leading Danish culture bank to develop our probiotic blend. Each serving of cocojune comes with 30 billion CFU, and includes some of the world’s most researched probiotic strains, such as “BB-12” and “LA-5”. We believe in using cultures with proven potency, as not all strains are created equal.”
Available flavors: Pure Coconut, Vanilla Chamomile, Strawberry Rhubarb, Lemon Elderflower
Strawberry Rhubarb: The consistency was not as thick as Greek yogurt but the yogurt was pretty smooth after stirring. Flavorwise, I really liked how it tasted natural and tangy, and it wasn’t too sweet. The luxurious coconut cream flavor dominated but I could taste the strawberries too. The finish was clean and the berry/rhubarb flavor lingered. Wish it were thicker though. One serving is 15g total fat, 11g total carbs, 7g total sugars and 1g protein.
Lemon Elderfower: The Lemon Elderflower yogurt was a little clumpy because the cream seems to rise to the top. I recommend stirring. The consistency seemed a little thicker than the Strawberry Rhubarb. Lemon Elderflower was quite tangy and sourer than Strawberry Rhubarb. The floral hint of elderflower was pleasant and lingered. The lemon was lost in the sourness and the strong flavor of the coconut cream. One serving is 16g total fat, 10g total carbs, 7g total sugars and 1g protein. Ingredients: organic coconuts, spring water, organic elderflower, organic cane sugar, organic lemon juice, vitamin C, organic cassava root, organic carob bean gum, vegan probiotic cultures.
The verdict: Cocojune is one of the better coconut based yogurts available, second only to Culina.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

I like the cocojune lemon . I find it very refreshing. Good product once in awhile. Not crazy about the sugar amount.
