Tofutti Organic Strawberry & Sojasun yoghurts

[alexx]

It's pretty good! Waitrose sells the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla organic in round flat tubs, not the normal haagen-dazs style pint tubs.
Also seems to have less chemical additives than some dairy substitutes - I wonder if this is because it is organic as I know that limits the ingredients?

Also really super yummy are Sojasun non dairy "yoghurts" - they come in little glass tubs and I get them from fresh and wild, they are probiotic and come in about 6 flavours? I prefer them to regular fruit yoghurt which is saying something as before I went dairy free I was a complete yoghurt fiend :bleh:

I shop in Fresh and Wild as well - in fact, I get lunch there most days as its near my office. Have you tried their non dairy double choc chip cookies? Or the pots of 'cheesecake' and 'rice pudding'? All *very* nice.

I've always been a fan of Sojasun yoghurts too. The lemon one is absolutely delicious and the plain one is much nicer than yofu. There are very few places that sell them and the glass jars make them more expensive (55p each last time I had any). I've not managed to find any Tofutti ice cream either (except on Goodness Direct).

I've not heard of Fresh and Wild, is it a health food shop or a supermarket? I like the sound of these yogurts :)

I had not heard of them either but I have googled :)

They have 6 stores in Londodn and 1 in Bristol.

I have managed to locate Tofutti Ice cream, but the next time I went to buy some there wasn't any so when I go back to uni, I will take a trip to the shop (it just happens to be near the store that does the nice dairy free truffles!!) and see if I have any luck, and will report back.

Fresh and Wild is a chain of (London and I think Bristol) health food stores, which are sort of mini organic supermarkets.

They're the second-best health food shop I know, the best one is in Tooting (an area which has tons of pure vegetarians (vegans) for religious reasons) and which has not only Tofutti but also Soyatoo ice-cream (which is even nicer, like Magnums).

Jewish areas of London (and elsewhere in the country) should have some good shops which will sell dairy free food.

I buy my ice cream and other yummy things form my local Jewish deli in Bournemouth. I will be back at work in Bournemouth Monday week and a visit to the deli is a must.

I was advised to eat the Sojasun live yogurts when I take anti-biotics as they are supposed to be good for the tummy! I found the strawberry one has a powdery texture, I'm not keen. My favourite dairy free yogurts are the Alpro children's ones - Yofe I think they're called.

Yofu yoghurts are quite nice, I agree :) I never used to like yoghurt, but don't mind these ones....

[alexx]

I agree, the sojasun wasn't cheap but they are good...and I reuse the glass pots so don't mind paying a little extra for them!
The F&W I go to is near Old Street - I know there is one in Stoke Newington and one in Camden for anyone else who is London based. They aren't cheap but do a good range of health and organic foods - they do a lot of stuff that caters for vegans which is obviously good for us dairy free-ers!

Alexx - I use the Old Street Fresh and Wild as well! Very handy, though I think they're currently waiting for a delivery, as there are some gaps on the shelves.

Have you tried their non-dairy rice pudding and breakfast bowl (in the fridge below the sandwiches) - its very yummy. The 'cheesecake' was a bit of a disappointment, though.

More generally, its also worth knowing that there's a Fresh and Wild two minutes from Clapham Junction station. So if you ever go through there, or have to change trains (and if you live anywhere south of London you're quite likely to) then its really worth nipping out of the station and heading for Fresh and Wild. Its even got a cafe (soya milk capuccinos and smoothies, also dairy-free cake) if you have some time to kill between trains.
