Greek yogurt alternative?

Hey all! My transitions are coming about slowly, and I'm wondering what's the closest non-dairy alternative out there to Greek yogurt? I recently tried some soy yogurt in different flavors, but I didn't really care for it. I know there's got to be others out there, and I also live in an area that doesn't have easy access to health or whole food stores. Any suggestions?

I'd like to know this one too! The soy option doesn't excite me either.

Hi Kirsty! glad I'm not the only one I've tried looking it up online today, and so far I've found a recipe to make your own soy yogurt (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/01/making-soy-yogurt.html) and then how to take that and make it Greek style

(http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/09/greek-style-soy-yogurt-or-soy-yogurt.html)

and I think I read somewhere today that So Delicious (they make products from coconut milk) is supposed to (or maybe they already did) come out with a Greek yogurt alternative, so I'll have to check their website or look for it next time I go shopping.

Still, if anyone knows of any alternatives please let us know!

I'd be interested in these suggestions, as well . . . I recently discovered that Stonyfield Farms O'Soy contains dairy (boo! why make it soy then??), and I've tried one other soy brand that I didn't really care for. Anyone know of any almond milk yogurts?

hello again! yeah, I found out the cheese I just bought is good for vegetarians, but not for vegans (contains casein, a milk protein, yet the brand still used soy--I know, I thought why bother?) at least I know for next time as for almond milk yogurts, I'm not sure of any at the moment, but I'll have to look--it sounds goooooood.....

good news though: I e-mailed Turtle Mountain (they make So Delicious and Purely Decadent), and they replied today telling me they will be releasing a Greek style yogurt (made from coconut milk)!! The flavors will be plain, strawberry, raspberry, vanilla, and chocolate, and they hope to have it in stores by the end of October! Happy Halloween to us!

now to find an alternative to nutella...

hmmmm, on their website it says they're located in San Rafael, CA. I hope that means there are other locations for us in the US!!

Justin's nut butter, Earth's Balance, and rawtella all have very nice alternatives to Nutella.

Hi MandaKay .... I just found this thread again ... loving all these suggestions and excited about the possibility of a coconut milk alternative! I'll keep an eye out too .... I am actually also in Australia and didn't know of the brand Courtenay mentions, so will check that out too!
