August Snack Pick

Monday 1 September 2014

So this is a little late in the day, but my goodness did August fly by! Where did my summer go? Mine was monopolized by two new restaurant openings and concept development that I have enjoyed immensely. Despite the ups and downs of the graduate programme experience, I can wholeheartedly say that it was worth it. For the first time in forever (sorry, frozen haters) I genuinely love my job.

I digress! But I needed to get that out.

My snack of choice for August is The Collective Coconut and Lime Yoghurt.

I have never particularly been a fan of yoghurts, with the exception of the Rolo variety, or Petit Fillou Little Desserts. However these substantial tubs of creamy heaven have converted me to the way of the yoghurt.

The Collective do a great range of flavours and I have been very temped by their Russian Fudge pot. But hats off to the Coconut and Lime! Thick, creamy and full of texture from real coconut niblets, it's balanced perfectly by the sharp lime coulis element, creating a moorish wonder. Our fridge has been fully stocked with these beauties.

If I had to draw one issue with this yoghurt, it would be the use of the non-word 'Tropo' on the design. Will everyone please stop abbreviating words? It's totes innappropes.
