Fro-yo girl here. COYO is the first commercially available cultured yogurt alternative made with coconuts. The founder grew up in Fiji, where he collected coconuts and scraped them for dinner. Later, this inspired him to make yogurt out of coconut milk with probiotics.
Whole Foods has been carrying COYO for awhile now. I found COYO for $2.99. It is dairy-free, gluten free, non-GMO, vegan/paleo, gum free and has no added sugar.
* Natural: I was surprised by how thick and clumpy the yogurt was when I opened it. It was thicker than Greek yogurt and even skyr. I recommend stirring it so that it looks smoother and less clumpy. It was so thick that it reminded me of cream cheese, only coconut flavored. Sourness was present but not overwhelmingly so. The coconut flavor was quite prominent. It was too rich and heavy to eat like a regular yogurt, but I quite liked it spread on toast. It would work well for savory applications as well.
One container is 5.3 oz. One serving is 5.3 oz, 390 calories, 38g total fat, 5g sugars, 3g protein, and 10g carbohydrates.
Ingredients (natural): Coconut cream (coconut extract, water), tapioca, pectin, probiotic cultures.
Available flavors: Natural, Mango, Chocolate, Vanilla Bean, Mixed Berry
You can use the store locator to find COYO.
4 out of 5 stars.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
