Recommendations for Vegan yoghurt and chocolate...

Hmm, the only soy yogurt in Australia is King Land soy yogurt, the others all use cultures from dairy. So unless you like that one, there's not much you can do :/ I like it, which is good, and you can get it at large Coles supermarkets where I live, though the smaller ones don't have it.
With chocolate, Sweet William makes milk chocolate, but i find it GROSS. The milk and white chips are good in recipes though For dark I normally get Alter Eco, you can get it at health food shops and at Oxfam, and I've only tried them once, but Constant craving truffles are amazing

CoYo Coconut Yogurt is as close as you will get.
CO YO™ Coconut Milk Yoghurt

Dairy Free, No Sugar Added, Gluten free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, CO YO Coconut Milk Yoghurt is available in convenient 250gm & 400gm containers.

From their Facebook page:
CO YO was produced to supply the market with a yoghurt that is dairy free.
Most cultures produced for the commercial market are plant based grown on skim milk.Ours are plant based grown on skim milk then on coconut milk. CO YO is 100% coconut milk, NO DAIRY MILK.CO YO was not developed for the vegan market although we have lots of vegans eating it.

But I will agree with the Facebook user name Anais Hatch: I can appreciate your sentiments but it's still produced using a dairy product which is not cruelty free so I am choosing not to eat it, sorry.Plenty of other vegans will agree with me.Kingland dairy manage to make soy yoghurt without growing the culture on milk, so it can be done.

It depends how pedantic you want to be - I tend to be pedantic LOL

As for chocolate - Whittakers Dark Ghana is vegan and so is the dark Peanut Slab and they are yummo

for chocolate: Ikea Dark chocolate, Coles/woolies home brand dark cooking chocolate, Oxfam fair trade vegan chocolate, rawganic chocolate , constant craving truffles, Apricot Royales which you can buy from the cruelty free shop i think are AMAZING

Im with whoever said sweet william was gross

and Co Yo is yum! Interesting and different but yum

I love Coles Belgian Dark chocolate YUM!

Soy doesn't insinutate Vegan.

I know Soy life yogurt still has stuff in it.


Doesn't make sense to me why they don't make it Vegan but oh well.



Also Sweet Willy is nice, just get the sugar lesserrrerrr one.


Hummm///

Also if you miss treats, start eating Sorbet! (Not gelati).



There are so many Vegan dessert recipes out that are decadent...


Infact it is partly why I dislike veganism as a diet.


But any whoo.


Why not just be Vegan and still eat some favorite Dairy things,
like a particular brand of Yogurt you know is organic,
and made by a company with a decent home grown Aussie reputation.


Not one tied to a bad milk Company though.


But anyways... good luck skee...

Since when was Co Yo vegan? Unless they changed in the last 6 months it's not.

You can't be vegan and still eat dairy. lol

does it have dairy in it?

now that i've looked up Co Yo I had a different brand one from Thomas Dux which was vegan

You can easily share the Vegan Ideals and better them,
with out constraining yourself from every minimal input you have in your diet.

Enjoying food is minimal waste as waste is only what which is surplus.

Noone says animal foods are destroying the world,
just the means in mass production devistates the life resource.


It wouldn't be hard to eat yogurt and be a successful environmentalist,
whom also cares for animals and is a friendly an open person to talk to.


Few vegans are all of that...


Maybe a new word needs to come into order,
based around the organic diet... or where local produce is still supported.


Being Vegan isn't about proving a rule in everything you do,
but about disipline of your sensibilities towards.

Avoiding being oblivious and knowing what you eat.

You can know what you eat, know it is from an animal source
and use that knowledge to make the right choice,
in favour of the animal and those that livelihood depends on those things.


You aren't saving cows... or sheep or Silk worms... just pushing them closer to...
becoming an endandered species....

Like everything else trammpled under cogs of the deforestation industry.

If you value Cows more than ANY of the myriad species lost each day,
probably before being discovered... just because the industries...

That you support ... unknowingly by buying food packaging that wraps your vegan snack...

by your own definition... you aren't vegan >___>


It is about the Quality of life of each species, in equilibirum and not the saving of one life,
at cost of a developed ignorance for the rest.


DAIRY DAIRY DAIRY...


hey what is this beetle? Idk woops i squooshed it DAIRY!!!


Each disease could have a cure... each cure could be a species of bug... each species lost...

is a step into a diseased future.... that needs luxury to cover the loss and decay.

This is what I got in June from Co Yo - "We are consciously endeavoring to provide a non animal product. At this stage we take the original plant based culture grown on skim milk which are then transferred to the coconut milk medium for a time before adding them in the final product."

Which one did you get? I'm going to Thomas Dux tomorrow, would love to check it out.
