Product Review: So Delicious Coconut Milk & Kefir
Filed Under (Product Reviews) by maida on 14-11-2009
So delicious came out with a line of coconut milks. I’ve seen them blogged about here and there and the consensus was that they were pretty tasty. This is the maker of my beloved coconut milk yogurts, so I thought I couldn’t go wrong with the milks. At the store, I picked up a container of vanilla and original thinking that I’d be all over the vanilla. As it turns out, I’m more a fan of the original! If you currently are drinking cows milk but are interested in not having that anymore or are curious to try a tasty non-soy non-dairy milk, give it a try. The flavor is very neutral– as in it doesn’t taste like anything! I thought for sure that it would have a coconut taste to it, but it really has no taste at all. The vanilla, on the other hand, is very vanilla-y and also very sweet. I don’t think I’d buy the vanilla again, but I’m totally hooked on the original flavor. I so love it, in fact, that this will be my non-dairy milk of choice from now on. I’ve used it in cereal and baked goods and it is perfect every time!
But wait, there’s more! Coconut is actually very good for you. Check out this website which lists all the benefits of coconut, including the science behind why the saturated fat found in coconuts is so healthy (as compared to other saturated fats).
Pick some up today! You won’t be disappointed.
Recently, I also picked up a container of the So Delicious vanilla kefir. I don’t know that I’ve ever had Kefir before and really the only thing I know about it is that it’s kind of like a runny yogurt. I tried to drink the kefir several times and found it to be too sour for my tastes. It wasn’t unpleasant or gross, just not something that I would waste the calories consuming. I would rather use the calories on the vanilla coconut milk yogurt which is so ridiculously good. If you want a treat, have a carton of that! Just don’t look at the price. 
EDIT: Thanks to Katrina, here is a link for a $1 off coupon for Turtle Mountain products (the people behind the coconut milk beverages, yogurts and ice creams).
Haha! I’m so glad I came across your blog today. I am in love with So Delicious coconut milk beverages! And since I’m a fan of all things vanilla, it’s my favorite flavor. But you’re right: The original has a very neutral flavor which I think would be pleasing to people who are looking for a tasty alternative to cow’s milk. I also like the vanilla and strawberry kefir. Their true yogurt-like sourness remind me of the real dairy yogurt I used to enjoy when I was growing up. For anyone who hasn’t tried these wonderful products, the company has dollar-off coupons you can download at their website here: http://turtlemountain.com/products/coupon.html
Thanks for the link to the coupon! I think I’ll put that in my post so that people can easily find it. Glad you found me too… welcome! Maybe I’ll try the strawberry kefir the next time I see it at the store. I didn’t dislike the vanilla when I tried it, but I think I was expecting it to be more like the vanilla yogurt.
