Not all plant-based foods are created equal. Many businesses have jumped on the ‘plant-based’ wagon, creating mass produced products that are more like lab experiments rather than food. You want to eat plant-based foods that are minimally processed and as close to nature as possible.
We kick off our ELEVATE Food series with a review of Little Island Coconut Creamery Vanilla Bean Yoghurt. We love this product as it is vegan friendly, gluten free, low in fat/sugar and does not contain nasty additives. It tastes delicious, is naturally sweet and is gut friendly for those of us with sensitivities. It works well for lots of different recipes using yoghurt. We’ve included some ideas below to get you started! We are always on the look out for plant-based yoghurts that have a good consistency and are satisfying for the taste buds. This product has certainly become a favourite of ours!
