We’re rounding out the day by adding Harmless Harvest Dairy-Free Yogurt to our dairy alternative review section. It’s the third product line of new releases from this conscious brand (we shared the launch of their Yogurt Drink and Protein & Coconut Beverages earlier).
Most coconut yogurt brands are made with pre-processed coconut milk, but Harmless Harvest goes straight to the source. For more than a decade, they’ve been purchasing Thai Young coconuts from farms in Thailand to make their coconut water. And now they’re scooping the meat from those same coconuts to make yogurt alternatives with the freshest and purest ingredients possible.
Harmless Harvest Dairy-Free Yogurt Cracks into Real Coconuts
To keep it simple, they’re starting with four classic flavors, made with organic ingredients, and each stocked with seven probiotics. Harmless Harvest Dairy-Free Yogurt is cultured the traditional way for a consistency that is reportedly smooth and creamy without the need for gums and additives. But you be the judge! Leave your rating and review below if you’ve purchased and tried this vegan yogurt alternative.

Really good taste
I was pleasantly surprised at the taste of the plain yogurt. It would be almost perfect if there were no (or at least less) added sugar and something better than tapioca starch, which consists of almost pure carbs and contains very little protein, fiber, or other nutrients, thus the 3 star review.
Perfection!
Tasty and creamy !
Best Plain Yogurt Dairy Free, love it!
Wow now I can say I have what I need
The only vegan yogurt I love
I used to make my own yogurt with coconut milk, and while it was delicious, it was also high in fat and calories. My cholesterol levels went WAY up. Using other plant milks for my yogurt was healthier but not as tasty to me. Harmless Harvest has the same delicious coconut flavor and creamy texture of my homemade coconut milk yogurt with few calories and fat, plus I no longer have to spend my time making yogurt. I would only make or buy a different yogurt for using in recipes where a coconut flavor wouldn’t work well.
Too starchy!!!!
I am a big harmless harvest fan but this product simply tastes too starchy! Too much tapioca!! Sry but Cocojune is a winner this time.
Very good
I have tried so many alternatives to yogurt. This is deffinetly the best testing!I will only purchase Harmless Harvest from now on!
So yummy
I really love this yogurt. Strawberry is so Yummy! It’s gentle on my stomach and very satisfying. You should try it!
Soooo good
Excellent for us colitis sufferers. I’m obsessed, please never stop making this.
Light smooth and amazing
Such a great product, thank u.
Not enough vanilla flavor
I’ve only tried the Vanilla flavor, which to me, lacks vanilla! It’s okay, but pretty blase’ and a bit thin in texture. I appreciate the fact that it’s dairy-free, organic, and fair trade, but I’ve tried other vegan yogurts that have a better flavor.
