Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been wanting to try The Coconut Cult probiotic coconut yogurt for years, but it was crazy expensive and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it (I don’t like a strong coconut flavor). The 16 oz jar was $25 when it launched in 2017. Fortunately, they introduced a smaller jar, 8 ounces. I found it on sale at Whole Foods for $6.99 (regular price $9.99).
The Coconut Cult yogurt is organic, vegan, soy-free, and gluten-free. One serving is 70 calories, 6g total fat, 3g total carbohydrates, 2g figer, 1g sugars, and 1g protein. It also has 16 probiotic strains. It’s made with coconuts and probiotics – and that’s all. The first ingredient is coconut meat. The packaging says it's ceremonial grade coconut yogurt. I've never heard of ceremonial grade coconut anything.
The Coconut Cult differs from regular coconut yogurt because it’s a highly concentrated form of yogurt with more probiotics. There are 800 billion highly active probiotics / CFUs (CFU = colony forming unit) in every quart and 25 billion probiotics per 1 ounce serving. For those taking probiotic supplements, the dosages for adults range from five billion to 10 billion CFUs per day. The other argument for The Coconut Cult is that the probiotics are digested more readily in yogurt form than in capsule form.
Original Coconut Yogurt: It’s much thicker than other brands of coconut yogurt. The texture is like coconut cream blended with coconut meat. I wasn’t fond of the grainy texture. In terms of flavor, the yogurt was tart, sour, and had a strong coconut flavor. It also tasted funky and fermented. I’m not a fan. Culina is sour and coconut based too, but it tastes less fermented and has a smoother texture.
Available flavors: Original, Mangos N’ Cream, Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Toffee
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
