In response to the rising demand for plant-based yogurt alternatives, brands are developing a wide range of grab-and-go options, and The Coconut Collab launched what it calls the UK’s first plant-based on-the-go yogurt with granola. The dairy-free Coconut Yog & Granola spotlights the brand's rich and creamy coconut-based yogurt made with ethically farmed coconuts used within the supply chain to reduce waste, and fermented live cultures for gut health.
This portable breakfast or snack pairs the nourishing yogurt—a source of calcium and vitamins—with granola clusters in a package with a spoon. While the brand offers many different ways for consumers to savor its coconut-based yogurts, this one is especially snackable and ready to take to school, work and more.
