(fun music)
L: hey guys welcome to make it dairy-free I'm Larisha A:I am Andrew and today we are
taste testing 17 different type of yogurt alternatives (pause) L: that's a lot. A; Nope. (long pause) .(laughing) What?
L: so we remember what it felt like when we started our own vegan journey and essentially we wanted
just to create this video for you guys to help you not only save some money but
also make your life a little bit easier as you ease into this new lifestyle A:no
worries this is also for our OG vegans as well L: for sure, each of the 17 yogurts
that we found except for one are the vanilla flavor which we thought was like
the most popular you know plain basic flavor A: yeah L: you could find at the store
A: Kind of like the most common one L: yeah A: alright so this video is meant to be
more of an informative type of video not really about what one is like better
than the next but more about what you get when you purchase like this product
but just for the sake of having our opinions what we'll do is in our post we
could probably list like our top 3 that we thought was the best L: yeah we'll put
that in the caption the link to their post A: cool L: with that being said we are
going to go over 4 different things in this video we are going to be talking
about the taste whether it has like that sweet or that like tart tangy taste
texture flavor and then also we are going to compare it to traditional dairy
yogurts A: from what we can remember about
traditional dairy free yogurt because it has been a while L: and it's always hard I
think that's always been like one of the complaints is that we always kind of
forget like A: yeah what the what it actually tasted like A: true but obviously
I've eaten that type of yogurt for many years so I think it might be a little
easy for to roughly remember some of the the key
things that you get when you eat a yogurt L: right and also just to point out
that we haven't tried a lot of these so I think I'm kind of hoping that we find
one that we're excited to you know it become our favorite or something like
that A: yeah one that will probably you know buy continuously and you know go
throughout the rest of the future with L: yes A: alright nice L: ready let's go to make this
video as informative as possible we figured we would add some additional
information that you would look for when trying to figure out a yogurt keep in
mind that everyone's taste buds are different so if you go to purchase some
yogurt alternatives based off of our review maybe just start out with one or
two and not buy a whole lot of the same kind to help ensure that your taste buds
aren't broken the Daiya brand yogurt texture is very thick and the taste is
sweet and tangy and the flavor slightly resembles the taste that you get from
some of their other products but not overwhelmingly overall this one was a
bit of a surprise as we would certainly buy it again
next up is the silk soy and almond yogurts the soy is thinner like a yogurt
whereas the almond is more of like a pudding consistency we preferred the soy
over the almond and agreed that they were not sweet or tangy and they both
needed more vanilla flavor Chobani resembled cottage cheese at first almost
jelly like it was slightly sweet and you can taste the coconut and there's a
little Tang which was surprising with less sugar than the others despite the
initial texture look we liked this one but did think it could have more of a
vanilla taste so delicious was on the thicker side of the texture again but
the taste seemed very watered-down in comparison and was much more tart than
the others we couldn't pinpoint exactly which but
it seemed like there was too much of one ingredient inside that we weren't fond
of Trader Joe's has a coconut and a cashew yogurt the texture was great on
both of these but the cashew had an overpowering nutty taste almost like
they used roasted cashews instead of raw ones the coconut was light in flavor and
the color was super white it's definitely one of the better ones good
karma had a surprisingly yellow color to it and it resembled jello a lot it was
very very tart and almost tasted like it had expired
we even double-checked but it hadn't the taste on this one just wasn't
especially with the color and texture to Vega was super Brown and very runny like
a thick milk the taste goes from tangy to tart in your mouth and not surprisingly
since this is a protein powder brand and it did have the most protein there is a
chalky taste to it that we didn't prefer in the yogurt even though we like their
protein powder the Whole Foods 365 brand hit the texture out of the park but
still not a strong vanilla flavor we didn't think this one was sweet tart or
tangy but it definitely has a nutty flavor
but it's not overpowering Andrew did think that this one was a bit chalky too
with the follow your heart Brand the texture is great and you can definitely
taste the coconut in this one it was almost like having a pina colada
we thought that this one could be described as sweet tart and tangy all
together and if you put this one in our tropical smoothie it would be a sure hit
next up is the ripple brand we had high hopes for this because we actually
really liked their milk however beyond having a good texture this yogurt fell
pretty flat the color is off-putting being yellow and this yogurt hadn't
either smelled good nor tasted good the Lava brand was another we had to
double check the date on it was not smooth and consistency and there were
little chunky bits inside it was insanely tart and the flavor was more
savory than anything else I even said it smelled more like French onion dip than
a yogurt overall this was a no kite hill resembled a Greek yogurt texture to us
which we were happy to see we are obsessed with their ricotta in our
homemade vegan lasagna so we really wanted this to work out and be a fave
unfortunately the taste was completely off and the aftertaste was even worse
than the initial taste we were excited for Nancy's yogurt because it was oat
milk based and we were hoping to provide an allergy friendly option however not
only was it chunky but the smell was completely off and the taste didn't do
it for us whatsoever again we checked the expiration date we
promised silk recently added an oat milk yogurt and again for our allergy
friendly recommendations we wanted to like this one however it has a super
runny consistency and the taste makes it seem like that consistency is because
it's been watered down it doesn't have a strong flavor of anything last of the 17
yogurts that we tried was forager being honest andrew has tried this brand
before and thought he liked it but now comparing against the others there were
brands we prefer more and he thought there was a soapy taste it
has a great texture and the cashew flavor is a little strong here overall
y'all this was a hard taste test we've had fun doing these before but never did
we think we dislike so many brands of yogurt and never did we think Daiya
would be in the top 5 click the link in the description to go view who our top
three brands are and see more of our opinions about each comment below and
let us know if you think we got it right or wrong we hope you enjoyed this thanks
