Australian brand Coyo has already gained fame worldwide as one of the purest producers of dairy-free yogurt alternatives. Now the company is poised to tackle the healthy drinks category with the launch of non-dairy kefir beverages. Coyo Dairy-Free Kefir promises enhanced gut health from probiotic cultures in a range of very natural flavors.
Coyo Dairy-Free Kefir is Simply Organic Probiotic Coconut Milk
You can’t get any closer to a homemade recipe than these cultured beverages. Like the brand’s yogurt, they’re richer than your average alternative and free of any funny business. Please note that certain flavors are available in only select countries. I’ve included notes based on the company’s websites. If you get the chance to try Coyo Dairy-Free Kefir in any flavor, please to leave a rating and review below!
