We recently returned from living in Belgium where Dannon's Activia yoghurt came in coconut flavor (as well as vanilla, almond and lemon). Yoplait had a coconut flavor too but theirs was in a series called 'perle du lait' and nothing similar appears around here. Has anyone seen any brand anywhere with a coconut flavor (not the pina colada pls) ? Many thx.

Just ask customer service at your local HEB. They are very good about stocking requested items. I shop at HEB, Target, Costco, and Randalls and have never noticed coconut yogurt.

At HEB check out Lala brand I'm pretty sure they have coconut. May be Pina Colada though.

Blue Bunny makes a light version with coconut flavor, but they don't carry it here. I liked it so much, I made up my own version. I buy Henry's coconut milk and unsweetened shredded coconut (in the bulk bins) from Sun Harvest and mix those with either plain yogurt or the Greek style yogurt (it's just drained yogurt - thicker). You can also add a drop of coconut flavoring if you want, but I found that a bit too overwhelming.

There was a coconut essence product in the bakery aisles once upon a time - you could add that to plain or vanilla yogurt, with dessicated coconut. Whole Foods does an organic, unswwetened dessicated coconut. Otherwise this site might help...

Guide to Coconut Oil, benefits of virgin coconut oil for hypothyroid, diabetes and Crohn's disease.

Maybe try posting in the Food and Drink forum too, they are a very helpful bunch!

On 79 in RR. Although my husband would probably tell you I only think I saw it because I wanted to or was hallucinating or something

Thanks for all the replies. Will have to call HEB and check. The Dannon rep we ran into at the HEB said it didn't exist - to which we politely disagreed. He said he'd check w/his corporate office to see what's up. I guess I've gotten a little ocd on this!
