The Coconut Collaborative Plant-Based Yogurt Alternative Review

Fro-yo girl here. The Coconut Collaborative is one of the older coconut yogurt plant-based yogurt brands, founded in 2014 in London. It’s now the #1 premium coconut yogurt brand in Europe. In 2019, the company began producing their yogurt in the Los Angeles last year, after launching in the US the previous year.

Coconut Collaborative products are dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free and low in sugar. I bought mine at Gelson’s in La Canada Flintridge, CA for $2.29 each (regular price). One cup is 4.2 oz (smaller than average). The yogurt is rich, so the small size is good for a snack or light breakfast.

Vanilla: The yogurt looked a little clumpy when I peeled the foil off, but stirring made it quite smooth and very creamy. The yogurt was mildly tangy with a little sourness. The vanilla flavor was quite faint but the coconut flavor was strong. The aftertaste was a bit bitter. One cup is 160 calories, 13g total fat, 9g total carbs, 1g total sugars, and 2g protein. Ingredients: Coconut milk (coconut extract, coconut water, water), coconut water, corn starch, potato starch, pectin, natural vanilla flavor, vanilla bean, cultures.

Blueberry: I gave this yogurt a stir too. I liked it better than the vanilla because the blueberry flavor was stronger, though the coconut flavor was still strong. There were little blueberry pieces. It was a little sweeter than the Vanilla yogurt but still mildly tangy.

Available flavors: Mango & Passion fruit, Plain, Vanilla, Blueberry

The Coconut Collaborative yogurt alternative is widely distributed. You can find it at Sprouts, Target, Whole Foods, Erewhon, Bristol Farms, Safeway, etc. And Nekter just announced that their Energy Bowls are layered with The Collaborative's vanilla plant-based yogurt alternative.

4 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
