My CoYo journey only started last week, and what a journey it has been! It all started when I was browsing the fridge section of my local health food shop: I came across these pots of loveliness and couldn't resist! Made with coconut milk, tapioca starch, xylitol and probiotic cultures, this yoghurt is sugar free and doesn't contain any worrying ingredients. It also looked so thick and creamy, and so I couldn't resist! Picking up the 400g tub, I made my way to the till with 100 thoughts running around my head with regards to what I could use this yoghurt for. This week, I decided to have it with granola for breakfast.
I didn't intend to use it only for this sole purpose, yet it was so amazingly good that I've had the same breakfast for 5 days in a row. That is roughly the amount of portions that you'll get from the 400g tub, depending on how generous you are with your servings (I'd happily eat the whole pot in one go, if it weren't for the price!).
So that's where I will start off - the price. This award-winning yoghurt is not cheap, I can assure you. But for what you get, it sure is worth it. I paid £4.50 for my pot, and that was with student discount. But please, don't let the price put you off. I'll be saving this yoghurt for an occasional treat about once or twice a month, as I'd fear for my finances otherwise! The way I see it, is that if I don't buy the occasional coffee when I'm out, then that pretty much covers the cost of a pot of this amazing yoghurt.
In terms of taste, this yoghurt is absolutely delicious - think the texture of greek yoghurt but with a sweet, slight coconut taste, all topped off with that slight yoghurt-y sourness. Yum! I must also add that this yoghurt seems to get better the longer it has been opened - I'm guessing that is due to the product still being fermented by the probiotic cultures, however I might be wrong!
So to sum up, if you like yoghurt and coconut, then you will like this product. I know that seems obvious but still, I thought I would put that out there. Pick up a pot if you like the sound of it, and eat it in any way you please. The melt-in-the-mouth texture will blow your mind. There are several other flavours available - think raw chocolate (!!!) - and I for one cannot wait to try them. I'll be scouring the shelves of said health food shop in hope that they stock the other flavours. In the mean time, I'm going to finish my yoghurt and granola before wallowing in self-pity at the fact that my pot has now been finished. Sigh.
