Brown Cow, How Now
Brown Cow yogurt
For years, I scowled at the yogurt section of the grocery store… how could there be “low-fat” and “non-fat”, but no “all-the-yummy-fat” option?
Then I found Brown Cow. Brown Cow is the yum. They’ve got the typical, blah, low- and non-fat versions, but they’re smarter than the average cow: they also offer a full-on whole milk lineup, which have a thick layer of cream on the top. The chocolate, coffee and maple flavors are probably delicious, but I can’t bring myself to try them — if I wanted dessert, I’d be eating ice cream. I stick to the fruit flavors. It’s seriously delicious, I don’t even think about eating any of that silly low-fat nonsense anymore. They also manage to be organic & environmentally friendly without spelling yogurt with an h, which I appreciate.
Okay. I had to do the taste test for myself, but first I had to find Brown Cow. The only stores anywhere close to me that carry it are all in the entirely SDA city of Loma Linda. I stopped on
my way home from work this evening at Clark’s Nutritional Center. I bought the full fat cherry vanilla and the fat free chocolate. The cherry vanilla was fabulous, but I do actually plan on marrying the fat free chocolate. Oh my God! Thanks for turning me on to this stuff.

Oh, I’m so glad you like it. It feels good to have one’s dairy preferences validated by others. I may have to break down and try the dessert-y flavors.
Is there a Whole Foods near you? The one near us carries a pretty wide lineup of Brown Cow yogurt. The Safeways around us carry it, too, but they only have a few flavors. Maybe if you ask for it at your nearest Safeway clone, they’ll start stocking it.
