Grab Some Noosa Yogurt

It's amazing how yogurts have evolved over the past decade. Before, yogurt used to be some creamy, Yoplait type concoctions with a bunch of gelatinous fruit preserves on the bottom. Now yogurt comes in so many forms. You still have the Yoplaits and Dannons on the shelves, but now the thick Greek yogurts are serious contenders, and if you don't even like dairy you can grab some coconut- or almond-milk based yogurt on the shelf.

My tastes have "matured" from fruit-on-the-bottom to the thicker Chobanis and Fages. I have to admit, though, sometimes mixing 0% Fage with honey or blueberries leaves me wanting. Like, this is tasty in a healthy way, but what I really want is one of those super creamy yogurt pots from Pret.

Just when I thought I couldn't have it all, I stumbled upon a brand called Noosa Yoghurt. Of all places, we discovered it in Denver, Colorado, not the first city you think of that would distribute and stock "aussie-style yoghurt." Honestly, if you go to their website, there's a logo that says "Aussie Culture * Colorado Fresh." Australian-style yogurt made in Colorado, like how does that even make sense. But it does. When you eat it, you feel like you're eating a creamier panna cotta with premium ingredients. I'm partial to the strawberry rhubarb and blueberry fruit fillings.

Unfortunately, not a lot of places in NYC stock Colorado-made Aussie yogurt. Gourmet Garage in Soho is the only place I've been to that stocks it. Kind of a trek to get to but totally worth it.

A yogurt that tastes this good is...so not low in fat...but we all have to live a little.
