Food Reviews - Kite Hill - Blissful Creamy Coconut Milk Yogurt

Today's yogurt is brought to you by it being a free item at Safeway as a Just4U reward. What we are reviewing is Kite Hill's Blissful Coconut Milk Yogurt, in the blueberry limoncello flavor. Kite Hill also makes an almond milk yogurt, as well as an almond milk Greek yogurt.

 

Let's start with what it is. It's a coconut yogurt that is advertised as dairy, soy, and gluten free. It's also kosher and vegan. So it definitely fits within a more restrictive diet. Especially since behind dairy, soy is another food that is frequently avoided, for both allergen and other dietary needs.

So, now that it's been introduced, how does it taste? It has a very mellow blueberry flavor, with just a hint of lemon. There's no real sour or tangy notes from the lemon though, if that's something you hoped and expected. Since it's coconut milk based, you'll also find coconut flavor. This shows up more as the blueberry and lemon flavors have started to die down as an aftertaste. One thing missing was any sort of fermented yogurt tangyness. Maybe it's hidden by other ingredients, or maybe coconut milk doesn't leave any in the first place.

It's texture is as advertised. It definitely is smooth and creamy. There were a few pieces of blueberry floating around, certainly not much compared to most other yogurts that go around leaving chunks of fruit in. As far as thickness, it's fairly thin, certainly not as thin as a drinkable yogurt, but definitely one of the thinner yogurts I've eaten.

So, did I like it? Yes I did. Would I buy it again? Maybe. As far as dairy free yogurts go, it's one of the better ones I've had. However, I'm not the biggest fan of coconut, so to have that showing up in every bite isn't the most appealing. There's also a lot of added sugar, and almost no protein. So if you're worried about nutrients and macros and all that, you're better off with something else.
