When it comes to finding dairy-free yogurts, a lot of brands leave us wanting something better–until now. The Creative Kitchen recently discovered AYO Brand almond yogurt and we couldn’t be more excited! This strawberry almond yogurt gives the perfect blend of subtle toasted almond sweetness, a slight tanginess, and that creamy texture often lacking with other dairy-free options. AYO almond yogurt is so good, it will definitely pass the taste test of your little yogurt connoisseur.

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I could eat this yogurt every day!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

It’s so hard to find a yogurt that is dairy-free and tastes good. AYO yogurt doesn’t sacrifice taste just because it’s made from a dairy alternative. In fact, the light toasted almond flavor adds to goodness. Also, AYO almond strawberry yogurt has less sugar compared to other options out there which is always a bonus!

Flavorful Features:

AYO almond yogurts come in four delicious flavor options:

• Strawberry
• Blueberry
• Peach

The Icing on the Cake:

AYO almond yogurts are not only dairy-free, but also vegan and gluten-free. You can feel great about your choice with AYO brand yogurts because they are the first almond yogurt to have almonds sourced from their organic family farm. Plus, this yogurt has the added benefit of fiber from the almonds!
