Monday, 9 January 2012 9:23 AM

Coconut milk and yoghurt is much-loved by nutritionists and celebrities, offering a dairy-free alternative at breakfast time or a super-sweet, healthy dessert with just 150 calories. COYO coconut milk yoghurt is now available in the UK.

COYO is made from coconut milk and is free from any added sugar, lactose, dairy, gluten, soya and additives.

Nutritionist Bethany Eaton, who is dairy intolerant herself, came across the product in Australia while trying to source alternatives to yoghurt for her clients.

"When I first tried the yoghurt I was blown away by how good it tasted and it is wonderful to now be able to share it with people here," said Bethany, of the Hale Clinic in Central London.

"Coconut is an amazing food with a multitude of health benefits."

Some serving suggestions - try it in a bowl with honey, add it to your breakfast muesli or fruit salad , dollop it into a soup or have it alongside chilli con carne.

COYO comes in 400g and 250g sizes in two delicious flavours; natural and mixed berry, with more flavours to be released early 2012. 

COYO can be found in Planet Organic and other health food stores this month and launches in John Lewis food halls February. COYO retails at £5.49 for 250g, £6.99 for 400g and £3.49 for single serving pots.
