Having been a vegetarian since 1985, things have certainly got much easier for those of us who avoid eating meat and fish.
Today, a new generation, with a more enlightened view of the environment are declaring themselves Flexitarian, which simply means that they will replace some meals with plant- based foods.
And yet, I must confess that when a box of Collective Plant Greek style vegan yogurts turned up in my kitchen, I was resigned to eating something watery and bland. How could even the cleverest alchemist turn this epitome of dairy, into something so tasty, and yet still completely vegan?
I admit I was wrong, these live Greek-style yoghurts, made from a unique blend of oats, coconuts, and rice, will give anyone looking for a dairy-free yoghurt, food for thought, and they are available in four delicious flavours – Natural, Raspberry, Passion Fruit and Fudge.
Alchemy indeed, each of these Yogurts provides a melt-in-the-mouth experience with a thick and creamy base, layered with delicious low sugar compotes. Soy-free, nut-free, and vegan thick and creamy, awesome tasting plant-based yoghurt.
The Collective Plant Plain Yogurt in 400g is smooth and silky with a fresh and tangy flavour, perfect unadorned, or covered in fresh fruit.
The Collective Plant raspberry in 400g and 135g has a deliciously jammy, fresh raspberry layer of compote that pairs perfectly with the creamy plant-based yoghurt.
The Collective Plant passion fruit in 400g and 135g offers a layered the melt-in-the-mouth plant-based yoghurt, replete with a layer of sharp, heavenly scented nectar of passion fruit, including the crunchy seeds.
The Collective Plant fudge in 400g and 135g, is for me, the game changer. This butter-less fudge is a blend of sticky, sweet date, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt creates an authentic, malted fudge flavour and if that is not enough to impress you, there’s not a drop of butter and it is still low in sugar. Alchemy!
Just when you think that Plant could not get any better you discover that it is packaged in recyclable PET pots, made from 100% recycled material.
The Collective Plant 400g and 135g range is available nationwide £2.20 RRP per 400g tub and £1.25 RRP per 135g tub.
