Yogurt Survey

Yogurt is just one of those amazing and yummy foods. It's great for your health, for cooking, for snacking.... Yogurt is awesome =)

AND, sorry boys, yogurt is helpful in preventing yeast infections. So, if you're lactose-intolerant or dairy-free, not having yogurt can be a problem.

I've tired different non-dairy yogurts here and there, but never really liked any. Fortunately, Yoplait, my favorite brand of yogurt, made a lactose-free kind! Unfortunately, it is not always available. I decided I needed a back-up yogurt and bought the following three non-dairy yogurts.......

 

Almond Dream, Silk, and So Delicious

Represented here are all of the most popular yogurt forms of non-dairy milk: almond, soy, and coconut. I also made sure that all my sample yogurts were strawberry to try and stay uniform.

Before I conducted my taste-test, I rallied the troops. My taste buds alone were not enough for this test, so I asked my coworkers to weigh in. We had breakfast at the office! I think it's important for all readers to know that two out of the three girls were lactose-intolerant and surprisingly none had tried any of the offered yogurts before.

Drum roll please.......

There was no winner. The only agreement everyone had was that the So Delicious coconut milk yogurt tasted the most like REAL Greek yogurt. If you love Greek yogurt, this is the way to go. The one person who wasn't lactose-intolerant said she would buy this one even though it's not necessary for her to stay away from regular Greek yogurt. This yogurt was also fantastic when blended with a banana, ice, and soy milk. Perfect breakfast!

There was a tie between the Almond Dream and Silk as far as taste goes. Half of us liked the Almond Dream, the other half liked the Silk.

Silk was definitely the sweetest of the three. It also tasted very much like soy milk. Almond Dream was the blandest of the three, had a very light flavor.

Pricing:
Silk $1.19
Almond Dream $1.59
So Delicious Greek Style $1.99
*I purchased these in Southern California at a Whole Foods Store

And there you have it. I'm curious to hear more feed back on these three yogurts! Please feel free to conduct this taste survey yourself and send me the results!!
