Many years ago, I tried Tula’s CocoYo and fell in love. It was the sugar-free, dairy-free, healthy baseline yogurt I had been seeking. Sadly, that product disappeared from the market for a while, but GT’s Living Foods brought it back to life in 2017. Cocoyo Living Coconut Yogurt now comes in an array of flavors, including new Cacao, and their formula seems to have changed a little.
My friend Caroline bought their Ginger and Turmeric flavor, and it was sharply ginger. They’ve recently discontinued that flavor, so I’m guessing it was just a little to intense for most customers. But even more interesting was the effervescence. This really is a “live” yogurt that literally expands when you open it. It’s quite rich, yet the consistency makes it light in taste. It’s also free of added sugars, with very mild stevia sweetness in the flavors.
CocoYo Living Coconut Yogurt is Brimming with Probiotics
The proprietary probiotic blend in Cocoyo provides 25 billion CFU per 1/2 cup (4 ounces) at the time of bottling. Although they won’t disclaim full details on the strains, GT’s does state that the dominant probiotics used are Lactobacillus, Lactocuccus, and Leuconostoc strains. (Don’t worry, “lact” doesn’t refer to dairy ingredients.) Because it is so high in probiotics, the company recommends giving children under 10 a smaller serving.

Cocoyo living coconut probiotic
Where can I buy your cocoyo living coconut probiotic here in the philippines
Response from Go Dairy Free
I’m not sure! You might want to contact the company directly.
LOVE COCOYO
Love, love, love, (especially the cacao) but very difficult to find here!
Brace yourself for the Fizz
I’m a fan of GT’s Kombucha, but was not expecting for the yogurt to have that same type of fizz. I had high hopes for this product, but it’s a bit weird and off putting. But for the price paid I can’t let them go to waste, and just had to remind myself of the great health benefits while I ate it. I love coconut, so the coconut pieces throughout the jar isn’t a problem, but I do prefer the vanilla flavor over the pure coconut flavor.
I'm pleased
There are not many good tasting non-dairy yogurt products on the market. I’m very pleased with this product that I discovered 2 weeks ago at M.O. M. Organic Market.
Amazing 🙂 Grows on you after the first taste!!
This is one of my favorite dairy – free yogurts. I could eat it all day:). I appreciate the low sugar and amazing probiotic cultures. I am a fan of anything coconut – my favorite is the Vanilla Cocoyo! It is definitely an expensive habit & too costly for buying the amount I would like to eat at one a day…. Three cheers to Sprouts for caring it in San Diego:). Promotions would be great… or buying a case would be my first choice!!
FABULOUS! AMAZING! HEALTHY! I love it. Plain!
The only bad thing about this yogurt is that it is hard to find!!! Near me, it is only sold at Whole Foods in a teeny, tiny section of their refrigerator on the top shelf! I’m only 5’2″ people!!! Sometimes, I can’t reach it when the front ones are empty. What a shame because this yogurt PLAIN is so good. I guess good things are always hard to get. Come on Publix, get on board! We want to be healthy Americans.
Not for me
I had the coconut yogurt and it tasted expired/very sour and there were chucks of coconut inside…. unexpected
I love it!!!!
I love the fizz! It’s just the right amount of sweetness, low carb, no sugar. How do you do it? It’s the one thing I can eat and enjoy (as a dessert even) on a gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, egg free, gallbladder diet and still get the healthy fats I need. Thank you for a wonderful product! Can you sell it in larger containers?
Is it suppose to be sour?
I bought the vanilla flavor (also says it expires in 2 days) but the flavor is a very powerful sourness to it. And I don’t care for the effervescent. It’s super intense.
Best coconut yogurt ever
The taste is so yummy-mildly sweet. Very alive with probiotics. I pick some up whenever we head to the nearest city an hour away.

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?

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/.
