Nature's Soy Black sesame soy milk: I love Asian soy milk, which tends to be a lot less sweet and taste of actual soybeans/tofu compared to American soymilk (there's a very good chapter on this in the book Organic inc.), so when I went to Hong Kong Supermarket in Chinatown NYC, I checked out the refrigerated, fresh soy milk options. This brand happened to have black sesame and matcha soymilk, two of my favorite flavors.

If I had to guess, I would think it was a matcha latte rather than a tea as I didn't taste any tea over the sweetness. The matcha flavor was not at all bitter and tasted like candy. 2.5/5.0

Noosa Tart cherry whole milk yogurt: All-around quality creamy whole milk yogurt, with heartier pieces of fruit compote than normally found in comparable brands. Sweet but still satisfying. At a more manageable, snackable size for lunches than the normal flatter Noosa containers. 3.5/5.0

Noosa Mango whole milk yogurt: This is Noosa week, where I’ll share a review a day of the whole milk yogurt flavors I’ve tried over the past month. First up is the mango flavor, which contains cubes of ripe mango and whose sweetness pairs well with the slightly tart, creamy yogurt. While these containers are marked as single serving, I find the yogurt filling and sweet enough that I never eat more than half in a single sitting. This is a classic and quality fruit flavor that is easy to recommend. 4.0/5.0

Noosa Blood orange whole milk yogurt: I like blood oranges but most blood orange flavored snacks tend to remind me of artificial orange candy. This Noosa yogurt was not one of my favorites, with an orange sherbet taste that is overly sweet. The yogurt by itself is good quality though - rich and creamy. 3.0/5.0
