Brand new Greek yogurts from everyone’s favorite dairy-free company, So Delicious. These almond milk Greek yogurts are soy-free, dairy-free, and coconut-free. They come in berry flavors as well, but I only purchased the chocolate and vanilla. Both were tart, yet slightly-sweet, with a custard-like texture.
One of my favorite (fair-trade!) chocolate companies has just introduced a coconut-flavored chocolate bar. The Sweet Riot Dark Chocolate Kickin’ Coconut bar is delicious! Soft dark chocolate, with sweet coconut shreds in every bite.
Love in a wrapper.
New from Clif Bar: Kit’s Organic Fruit and Nut Bars. Imagine a Larabar, but with a higher nut-to-date ratio (so more rich and less sweet). The chocolate flavor tasted almost like a cocoa macaroon. (I actually only bought the chocolate and peanut butter ones. Sorry, but berry-flavored snack bars just don’t interest me!)

I had to go back and read your previous post to see what people were criticizing you about, and found nothing! xD But generally cake batter isn’t healthy enough to eat with a spoon…with all the raw egg and stuff! xD
Greek yogurt with almond milk sounds so delicious I will keep my eye out for it next time I go grocery shopping. Thanks Katie!
If one never allows offense into their world and accepts others opinions with an open mind and heart even if one does not agree than one would not be plagued with the “pain” of being offended. just saying.
Interesting point of view. And good for you that you are never offended…really. But some people have ‘negative’ programming, and then that is all that they can find in an otherwise perfectly positive blog post. Just as much as ‘WE’ need to learn to just allow all opinions with ease, ‘OTHERS must ALSO do their part in cleaning up the way they see things. Otherwise, the world will always be out to ‘get’ them. It’s a 2-way street.
Where did you find the new Kit’s Organic clif bars? I haven’t seen them in stores yet but they sound great!
I guess it depends on where you live, but Whole Foods will probably all get them in soon!
Or you could order online.
Okay thanks!
So Delicious is so yummy. I rarely purchase vegan yogurt, but I’d be down to test theirs out.

I’m super excited to find these almond milk yogurts!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting these 🙂
For pete’s sake, I cannot believe you had criticisms from that last post. I wouldn’t waste the energy even mentioning that insanity on a blog entry. You have a wonderful blog and if someone has a problem, they can just close the web browser, goodness.
Had to drop a line to say thanks for the fantastic blog you keep here! I honestly think that some people go through life looking for ways to take offense. If that’s their perspective, then I’m sure they will always succeed. I read the previous blogpost and understood exactly what you meant and the way you meant it. This is your blog – don’t apologize. 🙂 Keep up the fabulous work – you’ve saved me a ton of time and money in experimentation!
Getting offended over the last post is pretty immature, even if the folks weren’t frequent readers. There’s a point at which recognizing naysayers is just feeding their fire. Having read your blog for some time and noticed this pattern, I’m surprised you still apologize every time your diction offends one or two people. You should take more pride! Not like they have thousands of readers. You’re the clear winner here.
I actually don’t apologize every time someone’s offended. Sadly, at least one person will get offended by pretty much every single one of my posts.
But if I really do feel I was in the wrong, it’s only right to apologize for my error in judgment. In this case, I really can see where they could have taken offense.
well i don’t. sorry, i think that is absolutely bonkers.
oops, i meant the nitpicking over the guilt is bonkers, not you. you are great 😀 have a lovely day!
I really want those yoghurts. As in really. I wish they would hurry up and start distributing in Australia!
i have never commented on your post, but i think that is ridiculous. i was an english major, and i absolutely believe that language is important in shaping our reality, but that guilt business is overblown.
really. go have a nice sprinkle party today!
I re-read yesterday’s post 3 times and I still can’t find where you said anything about having guilt at a party. I must have totally missed the boat on that one. I wouldn’t have taken offense to something like that anyway!!!
Will have to look for the chocolate yogurt. Looks awesome. And LOVE the sweet riot chocolates. Love finding new yummy products to try!!
I edited it out of the post, as it really wasn’t my intention to offend and I can see how people were interpreting my words negatively. The original post said:
Cake Batter Dip healthy enough to eat with a spoon.
No guilt.
Guilt has no business at a party.
Must have read it and didn’t think a thing of it. I certainly didn’t take offense to that. People just like to find things to complain about! We know where your heart is!! (most likely in the middle of the cake batter!!) LOL And I’ll be right there with you! Yum
Ah, the Internet, where, if you’re so inclined, you can be offended by anything! (Seriously, some people are offended by youtube videos of puppies running. How can anyone be offended by romping puppies?!?!?!)
I cannot imagine you deliberately trying to offend ANYONE. Just the opposite!
Your blog is amazing. YOU are amazing! I can’t wait until your book is published: I’m going to buy a copy for myself and one for just about everyone I know.
Oh but puppies are so offensive. I mean, just look at their faces! 😉
🙂
Katie,
I find you to be simply adorable. Please don’t let the remarks of others cause you start second guessing everything you write. I enjoy your sincere, light-hearted, and delicious posts. Some people just aren’t “happy” unless they are miserable and do their best to make others miserable. Glean from constructive critiques where they have YOUR best interest at heart; absolutely dismiss the rest.
Ditto…I rarely comment but had to re-read the post (and comments). I bet you are going to see a lot of activity on that entry because we want to figure out what is considered offensive enough for someone so they feel they must hurt another. Guess i’m clueless because I’ve always figured you are kind because your recipes avoid the mood swings associated with a crummy diet)
Me thinks you are quite original and I recently had to create a Pinterest board dedicated just to you because I kept pinning so many of your recipes.
Repeat after me…screw ’em! (a bit vulgar but feeeeels sooooooo goooooood!)
Now get back to saying what ever is on your mind (and keep the recipes coming for your dedicated fans)!!!
Thanks, Kcli.
I think I’m just unusually positive because of all the chocolate. Seriously, it is impossible to eat chocolate and frown at the same time. 😉
almond milk greek yogurt?! finally!! i’ve been wishing for a vegan greek yogurt (not soy) and i don’t know how i’ve missed this one! i feel like i check whole foods every time i go, which is way too often. 🙂 i’ve actually never seen almond milk yogurt period there, or at least not the one at park lane by northpark. but then again, i do have pretty bad eyesight. 🙂
as for anyone who took your comment on thursday the wrong way, i can’t imagine how. guilt doesn’t belong at a party! i took your words exactly how you said you meant them, the first time. eating a non healthy desert would make me feel guilty (especially since i know i could have made one of yours and it would taste just as good! scratch that…better!), and that doesn’t make for a fun party! but i know so many people who don’t feel guilty about indulging a little when it’s a party, but the bottom line is the same: guilt doesn’t belong because parties are supposed to be fun! no apology necessary in my opinion!
I take an offense to you apologizing for something completely appropriate and OK and normal. lol
I’d expect an honest person to say things honestly – so don’t go changing your attitude or your way of thinking because someone needs psychiatric help.
Just saying. As in who really dissects everything you say not to mention take it personally Katie? I know you’re the star of the blog, but it should stay as star of the blog, not personal bestest friend I never knew. You make good food, awesome food, and you write funny posts, cause you’re funny! keep doing your job the way you do it – it gives it character and reflects pride and love for food.
