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.

Love the raspberry flavor
Only issue is I wish it didn’t have stevia (gastrointestinal irritant) for those with acid reflux.
These are the best
These are absolutely delicious. A little spendy but well worth it!
Sour taste
This is my first time trying this product
I bought peach nectarine the taste was disgusting not sure if it was rotten but the date said it had about a month an a half until expiration
Delicious
So happy to find this! I hope it continues to be available.
Goes bad weeks before expiration date
I’ve wasted 100 of these jars. Great taste, but can’t be preserved for nothing. I have jars after jars with weeks to a month of expiration dates and I had to throw them away because they all have extremely sour taste. Very disappointed.
Cocoyo
Loved it! Looking for more availability!!
Super fizzy and sour
I loved that yogurt until I had to throw away last 3 jars I bought because they were so fizzy and sour that it wasn’t enjoyable to eat at all! I love vanilla but this one tasted nothing like it should and was horrible. So disappointing because that yogurt is not cheap!
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

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/.
