    Kite Hill Almond Milk Yogurt Gets a New Look and Taste

    62
    By Alisa Fleming on October 23, 2019 Dairy-Free Yogurt Reviews, Product Reviews

    Kite Hill Almond Milk Yogurt has gained quite a cult following over the years. It was the first almond-based, clean-label yogurt to emerge, and it had the nutritional qualities that so many people were longing for. It’s an artisan-style dairy-free yogurt that’s relatively high in plant-based proteins and fats, is stocked with probiotics, and has minimal additives.

    Their flavors are quite high in sugars, but they do offer low sugar Plain and Unsweetened varieties. That said, this yogurt line is a bit more sour than some people might like.

    Tastes like clorox

    First time trying Kite Hill and rarely write reviews. But The Black Cherry Almond Milk yogurt tasted like it had come out of a machine which had been cleaned (but not rinsed) with clorox.

    Taste is fine, but consistancy too thin.

    This one isn’t for me I guess. I tried the unsweetened plain. The flavor was alright, pretty good even, but the yogurt has a rather thin consistency. It poured out of the container. I can’t get past that.

    I really enjoyed Kitehill yogurt a little while ago, but I think they changed the recipe. It’s terrible now. I’ve had to change brands because of it.

    My fav dairy free yogurt

    Rated 5 out of 5
    July 6, 2022

    I don’t understand all the bad reviews. After tasting several brands of nondairy yogurt this was my favorite, hands down. The lime flavor was outstanding and I really appreciate the inclusion of an unsweetened yogurt. Furthermore their consistency and taste is excellent, it doesn’t come across as starchy.

    It usually isn’t too bad, but have had several cartons for the past months with mold spots. The date on top of the latest was 4/20/22. Had I waited that long, it would have been solid mold. Tossed that one and another unopened. Not taking any chances. I won’t be buying again.

    Worst taste ever I thought it was expired but it wasn’t . Seriously tasted like it had a bad chemical added the after taste so bad I had to brush my teeth. Based on all the bad reviews this company is irresponsible to keep selling this terrible product .

    Has anyone else found a strange object in their yogurt container? I love KiteHilla however the past few purchases I have made, when opening up the yogurt and stirring it there has been a really odd looking ring shaped object inside. It almost resembles felt like material. It does not dissolve well so I just don’t know what it is. I stopped buying for a while and then just purchased one today and found the same thing. Can anyone tell me if they have has this happen and what they think it may be?

      I had high hopes for the unsweetened almond yogurt, but it tastes like wood. I won’t be buying any more of that!

    2. Ruth Myers on August 15, 2018 11:36 am

      I just tried this yogurt. No amount of sweetener, fruit, spices, or acts of God could ever make this palatable to me. I was willing to try it, but there is no way I would buy this again. The consistency was soupy (and it still has almost two weeks before the expiration date) and the taste was just.plain.awful.

      I cannot fathom how much work it must have taken to make almonds taste so bad.

    3. katherine on October 31, 2017 5:52 pm

      I love this yogurt! The Key lime is flavorful with out being “chalky”.. Now i wonder what I’ve been eating until I decided to buy these……I can’t imagine ever eating the basic brands and types of yogurt ever again.
      Kite hill, is just the best!

    4. Barbara on October 23, 2017 7:24 am

      I LOVE Kite Hill yogurt !!!!! Finally a yogurt made without dairy and soy that has great taste and texture (and it won’t break your bank)….. It is so good and a lot of flavors to pick from…. Keep on making your products, there are plenty of vegans that have great taste.. Thanks

    5. Nekeia on October 16, 2017 9:39 am

      Since going dairy-free and doing my best to avoid soy. I have been in search of a great non-dairy, non-soy, vegan yogurt, and I don’t care for the taste of coconuts. So, I thought, I wonder if there’s almond yogurt. Low and behold, I stumbled across this tasty treasure. I have never liked plain yogurts so I didn’t even try that. I went with the vanilla and peach. I could taste the almonds – YUM!! OMGzzz!!! I love it. It’s creamy, smooth, and very yummy. I started thinking of all the yogurt parfaits I could once again make. This is great. But like anything, people have different taste buds and thats why we have such a huge selection on foods we can select. Be careful not to cross-contaminate. Great Job Alisa!

    6. Emma on October 2, 2017 1:08 am

      Before going dairy free I was a huge fan of the Australian yogurt Noosa which can be found in most grocery stores around me. It is a super creamy yogurt with a unique taste, after trying many different brands in hopes of finding a similar taste I tried kite hills plain unsweetened yogurt and was so surprised with the similarities it actually ended up having. Upon my first few bites I did feel it was on the tarter side like a traditional dairy Greek yogurt but after adding a little agave I was in heaven. Definetly recommend this brand if you’re looking for a more authentic tAsting dairy free substitute for Greek yogurt or are trying to find a creamy less sugary brand.

      • Alisa Fleming on October 4, 2017 11:29 am

        You’d need to check with the company Emma, I’m not sure. But I’d be very surprised if it were less than 1 billion. That’s kind of the unofficial minimum with probiotic products.

    7. Danielle on September 28, 2017 9:55 pm

      Do you know how many live cultures there are in this yogurt? I see it says 4 strains but I’m looking for a number like 1 billion live active cultures. Thanks!

      PS. I’ve tried the Plain and Vanilla and loved both of them. Ideally, I’d like to find the Plain unsweetened.

    8. sherr on September 27, 2017 10:06 am

      does the greek yogurt have less sugar than the other and is it less sweet? Isn’t greek yogurt better for you?

      • Alisa Fleming on September 27, 2017 10:34 am

        I’ve tried the Greek yogurt, but they are retooling the recipe due to some consistency issues right now. The batches I received were mostly runny, not thick! I think they had slightly less sugar in them (a few grams). They do have Unsweetened versions, too.

    9. Cindy on September 22, 2017 9:59 am

      Is your yogurt produced on shared equipment with gluten or dairy?

      • Alisa Fleming on September 27, 2017 10:35 am

        Here’s their FAQ Cindy – http://www.kite-hill.com/about-us/faq/ – but you’d need to contact them directly with that question. Go Dairy Free isn’t affiliated with Kite Hill, but I’ll see if I can get them to comment here.

    10. Farrah on September 7, 2017 12:44 pm

      I was excited to see this new non-dairy yogurt addition to the dairy section at my local whole foods. Being that I have been consuming no diary and only coconut kefir. I decided to give it a try. Although I was hesitant due to some of the ingredients, including the sugar care sweetening agent. I purchased the plain option, added some organic: blueberries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, chia seeds and caco. The combinations seemed to be perfect, however, I think I will stick with the coconut kefir!

    11. Theodore Grossman on August 31, 2017 2:44 pm
