GFCF Friday: Worshipping the Turtle Mountain

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. But it has come and I finally found it in my area, even if I did have to drive like 40 minutes to get this. My son can have yogurt again. And, no - we haven't taken him off of his gfcf diet! Yogurt was one of Alex's favorite foods in the world before gf/cf. In fact, he had no impulse control and would want to eat 10 tubes of the squeeze yogurt and drank down the yogurt smoothies in a single gulp. If it was possible to be addicted to yogurt, he was. When we went gf/cf - saying goodbye to yogurt was tough. Its one of the few foods that he has actually asked for that were 'off limits' and for a child to so willingly go along with the diet switch, I felt almost mean not letting him have it.

Meanie no more, yogurt is in the house!


So Delicious from Turtle Mountain has come out with a line of Dairy Free yogurts, actually 2 lines. One made with soy and the other with coconut milk. The Coconut milk version comes in 6 flavors - blueberry, vanilla, plain, raspberry, strawberry banana, and passionate mango.

• Dairy Free Lactose Free
• Soy Free
• Rich in Medium Chain Fatty Acids Excellent source of Vitamin B12 (vegetarian friendly)
• Formulated for maximum calcium absorption
• Contains Pre- and Probiotics for enhanced intestinal health
• Cholesterol Free
• No Trans Fats
• Certified Vegan
  

They were priced 4/$5 at Whole Foods and so I decided to let Alex pick a few to try. He picked out vanilla, blueberry, strawberry banana, and raspberry - skipping the plain & the mango entirely. Can't blame him on the plain but the "passionate mango" though it sounded like it would be good (to me) did not appeal to him. When I showed it to him he announced loudly from the shopping cart, "NO PASSION!" Heads turned immediately and I laughed. Gawd, I love this kid.

When it came time to try it, I again let him choose. Out of all of them, the Vanilla is his favorite. We'll probably be sticking mostly to the vanilla, and I can't blame him. Opening it I was immediately taken back by how vanilla-y this smells. It smells great. I snuck a taste before handing it over and thought it was pretty good, even yummy. But the kids reaction is the one that matters. He loves it!

So Delicious!
