I
hoped everybody had a fantastic and safe holiday with your friends, families
and loved ones.
For
my Christmas, I had a family Christmas luncheon with my extended families. We
did do a traditional turkey with stuffing. But also we had some Vietnamese
flare such as Thai style Salmon Tom Yum soup. It was really spicy for me, but
for most people who could handle those devilish Thai chili peppers; they’re
medium spicy and it gets hotter as you eat more of it. We also had pork and
shrimp Asian coleslaw, steamed corn-on-the-cob, baked sweet potatoes and yams,
Chow Fun, Chow Mein, and salted pepper chicken.
Later,
I had some of my friends, siblings, cousins, and our nephews to try out some So Delicious Cultured Greek Yogurt, So Delicious vanilla bean ice cream, So Delicious Coconut Milk, and So Delicious Neapolitan ice cream
sandwiches. I also distributed the So
Delicious coconut coffee latte and So
Delicious chocolate almond milk courtesy of So Delicious and Moms Meet
for sampling purposes.

My
personal opinion about Chobani, Siggi’s, and So Delicious Coconut Greek Yogurt were about the same rating
considering having an above average rating. Chobani
tastes great but is not non-GMO Cerf tied, and isn’t made from organic
ingredients. Nonetheless, my survey panel agreed that it does taste better and
enjoyed the Greek yogurt being very rich in taste and coconut. On the other
side, we have So Delicious Cultured
Coconut Greek Yogurt. Then there’s Siggi’s
Icelandic cream-skyr yogurt. Its unique velvety texture beats the other two
yogurt brands. Siggi’s yogurt is
ideal for those who are not really sure if they would enjoy a coconut flavor
yogurt, but also want to try something extraordinary. Many of our surveyors
were amazed that this particular yogurt brand, So Delicious Cultured Yogurt has more live active cultures,
non-GMO verified, use of organic ingredients, and its light. Unfortunately, the
taste and presence of coconut left them in a disagreeable state.
Though, I did find a So
Delicious cultured yogurt that I surprisingly caught my taste buds. I
wouldn’t call it “yogurt”, but more like liquid pudding texture--and that
flavor was blueberry (see picture below). The consistency was almost like a drinkable yogurt, but
almost had a blueberry muffin taste without the overly added sugar content. I
wish I had some extra time to share with my taste-testing group to know what their
personal thoughts were. It’s not a bad brand to try So Delicious cultured
yogurt. Nevertheless, I highly recommend trying other flavors. Sometimes, I get
lucky to find So Delicious coupons online and in-store sale. So, be my guest,
and try them for yourself.
