The other day we were having some friends over for dinner and I was trying to reconcile my desire for a yummy dessert AND my craving for coconut (no, I’m not pregnant!). I decided to make these amazingly delicious cocoa brownies (substituting 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut for the nuts), but I couldn’t find any coconut ice cream to go with them. In desperation, I grabbed the tub of Liberté Mediterranee Coconut yoghurt I had in the fridge.
Oh-Mah-God it was DELICIOUS! Even the guys were commenting on how amazingly tasty and creamy this yoghurt was. Now it’s not exactly fat free, but at 8.5% milk fat it contains a lot less fat than ice cream and has definitely become my new favourite dessert! That said, Liberté also have an ‘everyday’ line which contains only 2.5% milk fat.
Besides my new BFF flavour Coconut, the Méditerranée line comes in 12 other delicious flavours: plain, vanilla, mocha, strawberry, mango and oranges, plum and walnut, peach and passion fruit, wild blackberry, black cherry, lemon, french hazelnut, and dulce de Leche. While looking on the Liberté site, I also discovered that this French Canadian company makes a line of organic yoghurts for kids (nine months plus) and the website also has some very cool downloadable colouring pages featuring their happy cow.
While most grocery stores carry Liberté products, mine carries these yoghurts in the organic foods section (even though it isn’t!). Look for Liberté products at your favourite grocery store and enjoy!

I found this yogurt a few years ago and I love it!!!!! The lemon is my absolute fave, but I definatley need to try coconut!!!! Yum
I also LOVE Liberte yoghurts … I lived in Eastern Canada for a while and all the flavours are available in all stores, so it was like heaven. My favourite? Their French Vanilla organic one.
i’m with chris…lemon is lovely! however, i will now be on the hunt for coconut.
i can’t seem to find the coconut anywhere!
Did you try Superstore? I saw it there last week! Or Save-On-Foods? At both places, the Liberte Yogurts are in the natural foods sections.
