If you like or should eat yogurt but have a problem with dairy products, I had a different kind of yogurt tonight: a "coconut yogurt alternative" called CoYo.

It's dairy-free and very thick like the Icelandic style whose name I cannot remember. I had a vanilla bean which had actual flecks of what I hope are vanilla beans and it was pretty good. The label says "Live cultures, non GMO, gluten free, no refined sugar, vegan, dairy free" and under ingredients it lists the probiotic cultures present as: B. bifidum, B. lactis, L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus, L. rhamnosus, and Streptococcus thermophilus.

Certified kosher and made in Albuquerque, so you don't even have to turn left! www.coyo.us.

That's skyr. I tried some once. It was much too sour for my taste. However, I adore the French style with its exquisite silky flavor. I'd try coconut yogurt; I love coconut.

Also coconut chia pudding can be excellent.

That's the stuff, skyr. Also not to my taste. I'm much more a French-style myself, I've been enjoying the new Yoplait French-style that comes in the glass jars as the jars are very useful for holding spice while making recipes! While we were at Sprouts yesterday, my wife came across chocolate chia beet cookies. I told her two of those ingredients don't belong together.

I like Oui.

I think our record is the recipe for caramel apple bacon cheese coffeecake.

I think our record is the recipe for caramel apple bacon cheese coffeecake.I see nothing wrong with that. :-) While I am not overall a fan of caramel, the rest of the goodness would make it acceptable.
