A week-long taste test of different non-dairy, non-soy, yogurt
substitutes. The vanilla varieties were eaten with mixed berries. No sugar was
added to the berries, nor honey or agave to the yogurt.
Here's how it went down:
Forager Project Cashewgurt
(Vanilla)
Creamy and smooth, the cashew flavor was strong with this one. The flavor
didn't overpower the berries; it simply tasted like I was getting protein.
Because cashews. Ranking: 2
Ripple Greek Yogurt (Vanilla)
Both non-soy and non-nut, Ripple is made with a proprietary pea protein called
RippteinTM. Having read the label before eating, my brain decided
Ripple tasted like sweetened baby food vegetables. Additional points deducted
for being nowhere near as thick as a typical Greek yogurt. It's edible, but
nah. Ranking: 4
So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt Alternative
(Vanilla)
This tasted like vanilla pudding, with no coconut flavor to be found. A
somewhat thin pudding (it was the thinnest of all the yogurts), but a vanilla
pudding nonetheless. It was a happiness. Ranking: 1
Kite Hill Almond Milk Yogurt
(Vanilla)
It didn't taste like almonds, which was fine, but I kept thinking it
would be best utilized as part of a smoothie. It's not unpleasant, just meh.
Ranking: 3
Kite Hill Almond Milk Yogurt
(Caramel)
A minute after the first spoonful, I read the ingredients on the label.
Three minutes after that, I threw the stuff away. "Natural Caramel
Flavor" does not agree with my palate. Ranking: 5
