​I am super excited to share my  most recent food score. I have been on the hunt for a non-dairy, delicious, flavorful yogurt for a few years. So, you can imagine how excited I was to finally find  one. I not only like it but look forward to eating. The timing couldn't have been better as the flavors in these yogurts feel like spring. Blueberry lavender, strawberry rose, and vanilla bourbon are not only delicious they also have a thick dessert like consistency. While standing at the refrigerator  I ate a container of vanilla bourbon on top of raspberries, No time to sit down when it tastes this good.  

They range from 230-240 calories per container. They are high in fat due to the coconut milk but all natural ingredients and so satisfying. One is all you need.

Continuing with the spring theme I came across Trader Joe’s Blueberry Lavender Flavored Almond Beverage. It is smooth, creamy, and expertly flavored—it tastes as if you’re frolicking through a blooming lavender field while eating blueberries.

It has a a touch of cane sugar, which creates a light, slightly sweet dream of a drink. And they accomplish that while also being also gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan, and kosher!
​
It's a perfect morning pick-me-up: serve chilled with  your  fruit, yogurt or healthy granola. Pour it into a mug & after a quick stint in the microwave, you’ve got a delicious before-bed beverage. Or use it to make the ultimate smoothie bowl—complete with fresh berries, Want the flavor and even less calories? I mix it with plain unsweetened almond milk.

Marin Kombucha is uniquely brewed in small batches with locally sourced, organic ingredients. During the fermentation process, they oak age the Kombucha to enhance its unique flavor profile and healing properties: probiotics, antioxidants, and detoxifying organic acids.
There are four signature flavors of oak-aged craft brewed Kombucha tea to reflect the bounty of our local harvest: Original Oak, Apple Juniper, Pinot Sage, and Ginger Lemongrass are each available in 16-ounce bottles and 5-gallon kegs. 

I had the Pinot Sage and since I try to keep cocktails to a bare minimum this is my replacement. Pour into a beautiful glass and I don't feel like I'm missing anything other than  a hangover :) I found them in SafeWay, Whole Foods and Sprouts. Not available at all of the stores though so you may have to ask.
