Many years ago, I tried Tula’s Cocoyo and fell in love. It was the sugar-free, dairy-free, probiotic yogurt I had been seeking. I was sad when that product disappeared from the market, but my dismay didn’t last long. GT’s Living Foods brought Cocoyo Living Coconut Yogurt back to life in 2017 and has remained true to the product’s high quality and nutrition standards ever since. They’ve also been able to support Cocoyo with greater distribution and with the development of new flavors, like Peach Nectarine, Blueberry Ginger and Piña Colada.
Cocoyo Coconut Yogurt Comes Alive with 7 Probiotic-Rich Flavors
The clean ingredients, lack of sweeteners, and substantial probiotic count are impressive. But the uniqueness of Cocoyo becomes truly apparent when you open it. This really is a “live” yogurt that literally expands when you open it. It’s quite rich, yet the natural effervescence makes it light in taste. That’s probably one of the many reasons it made our Best Dairy-Free Yogurt list.

Yogurt
I ate the coconut Cocoyo for the first time this week….I love it! It’s pricey, but worth adding to my health.
Not worth it
I been purchasing this from Whole Foods and this yogurt makes me and my wife sick. After eating it, it’s so hard to digest it. I am not sure if it’s because of Stevia but something is off. I will never buy this product again. I was spending a lot of money every week but hope never again.
ADDED Stevia
Shocked to find that half the pure cocoyo on the shelf have stevia added, but GTs website has no notion or update that stevia was added to the product, whats going on here
Love this yogurt!
I just learned that the fizzy is live the live cultures!
Tbus us tge only yogurt worth eating, low sugar and tge best ingredients!
Cocoyo
Very very good.
I agree with the outcome. 🙂
Absolutely yummy
I purchase’s the blueberry ginger and the cocoa flavors. Everything listed under the dairy notes had me jumping for joy. I’ve been lost since being diagnosed with so many food sensitivities that I can’t find yogurt or milk substitutes. Until now!!!! Thank you so very much for this delicious dessert. I’m hopeful I’ll find the peach and vanilla on my next journey to the store.
The Pure is no longer “Pure”.
I’m on an alkaline vegan diet and occasionally use the pure option. I recently purchased a container and noticed Stevia has been added to the ingredients after I had already consumed some it. I am very upset about this as I am not suppose to have Stevia. This product is also pricey. $7 wasted.
Response from Go Dairy Free
I think perhaps you purchased a flavor by mistake. The flavors do contain stevia. The company says the pure is still the same formula, with no stevia, but we’ll keep an eye out to make sure there isn’t a new formula rolling out.
CocoNo
This yogurt is fizzy!!! I tried Cacao, plain and blueberry. They were all fizzy, I spat it out! Don’t be fooled by the pretty jar, it’s gross. Oui dairy free is way better!
Response from Go Dairy Free
The fizz is live active probiotics. That is what this brand is known for is having a very high probiotic count.
Great product
Before I begin making homemade, high in probotics, we tried Cocoyo. (which has 100 billion probotics:)) It is refreshing with fruit, palatable and you’ll get used to the effervesces. We have only tried 3 flavors thus far. Vanilla, coconut and raspberry – all tasty. It is sad western Dr.’s do not receive training in nutrition and teach patients rather than treat!
don't buy in summer
Since it’s a natural product it expires fast. Usually tastes expired when bought in the summer. At least in chains like whole foods and moms organic. They probably keep it in the warm too long while transporting.. sucks paying 50 bucks for 7 to find out they all taste yucky

Just purchased this item, coconut CocoYo…what an amazing product. Tastes delicious, just enough tang, really great texture and consistency. I’m a sugar-free nut and really do seek out products that are true to the core! So glad to have discovered it, thank you to Plum Market for offering it as a special, yes this did work for me!
Hello I am excited to see the yogurt product. I am wondering what in the ingredients. I am not to have any sweetener added to any of of my food. I can’t not seem to find the ingredients list for the CocoYo living coconut yogurt.
Hi Beth, I have to update this post as they were bought out recently. They’re now by GT’s – http://gtslivingfoods.com/offering/cocoyo/pure-2/
Where can I buy CocoYo in the South Orange County area?
I’m not sure! You’d need to check their website -> http://coyo.com/us/

Where do u buy it? How is this better than a multistrain probiotic?
Bee, click through to the company website for answers to your questions.
Hi there, I have an auto immune deficiency. just a note to ask if this product is also Fructose free as i also have Ceoliac disease, and am boder line type 2 diabetic. I am 47yrs of age and am going through menopause and have put on some unwanted weight, with symptoms that
almost resemble how i felt before being diagnosed 9yrs ago.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Rosalba Marino
I don’t believe they use fructose, as this is a very low sugar product. But you will need to check the packaging, and/or check with the company. You can head straight to their website via the links in my review. Their website is http://cocokefir.com/.
