Not only does So Delicious make almond milk however (and with 5g of protein, way more than the usual measly 1g - but that's a different post for a different day), but they also make vegan creamers, ice creams, and - wait for it - YOGURTS!!!
Including a Greek style yogurt, y'all.
Yup, Pumbaa, I couldn't believe it either.
But it's real, the pictures prove it.
And it really is vegan (and fiber rich, hey-hey-hey!) with nothing too weird in there - it's based off of coconut milk, in case you were curious.
Sure, it doesn't look exactly like dairy greek yogurt at first, but it sure looks better than some other vegan yogurts do, pre-stir.
There's no weird watery layer that you have to mix in and it does already look thick and creamy.
Post-stir, the texture really does come pretty darn close. Do you see how well that's holding up?
Yup, it's thick as can be. Creamy, thick, and fabulous - all the things I'd been missing in greek yogurt.
Now does it taste exactly like greek yogurt? No, it doesn't.
It doesn't have the sour tanginess of greek yogurt and, though I did appreciate that they had a plain flavored yogurt since many vegan companies don't, it was a lot sweeter than dairy greek yogurt. Then again, it doesn't claim to be greek yogurt - it's a greek-style yogurt and that it is.
It also is tasty and it is creamy and it is a great base of a parfait or a yogurt mess or a yogurt and cereal bowl. I bet it will work wherever you need greek yogurt in a recipe and it does the trick when a greek yogurt craving hits, but is vegan-friendly. No, it's not exactly like dairy greek yogurt but it is delicious and I'll definitely enjoy it again.
It was delightful with some cinnamon, frozen blueberries, and dried cranberries. And a side of good book, of course.
It got even better when the blueberries thawed out a bit, releasing their syrup, and with a spoonful of soy nut butter.
I'd always thought So Delicious's claim, 'You're SO gonna love this' was as cocky as it gets, but they've already changed my mind. Even if everything else they make is icky (which I seriously doubt, considering how AMAZING this is - the best vegan yogurt I've had across the board in taste, texture, appearance, and nutritional stats) this yogurt validates their statement.
It's not cocky if it's true. And guys? It's true. You really are SO gonna love this.
Have you tried So Delicious Greek-style coconut yogurt? If you're vegan or lactose-intolerant, you need to! Even if you're not, you ought to!
What are your favorite yogurt toppers of the moment?
