Green Valley Organics Lactose Free yogurts, kefirs and new sour cream were created to help folks who are lactose intolerant enjoy all the health benefits and great taste of real dairy without the tummy troubles, bringing peace, love and dairy back into their lives.

From the makers of Redwood Hill Farm, a family-owned company committed to digestive health for more than 40 years, Green Valley Organics is a brand consumers can trust, made with organic milk that carries the Certified Humane Raised and Handled® label, which is considered the gold standard in third-party certification for humane animal treatment.

Below I will share one of their recipes great for Thanksgiving time. Green Valley Organics was kind enough to send coupons for their products, a Tshirt and an insulated shopping bag. I had planned to make a gluten free version of the pumpkin cake below, but sadly my store only carries 3 different flavors of their yogurt. That's it. No kefirs, sour creams or even plain yogurt. So my review will be on their blueberry and strawberry yogurt (I couldn't reach the vanilla flavor clear in the back of the top shelf). So check your store to see which products they do carry. I will honestly say that I really liked their yogurt, it is creamy, a thicker consistency (which I like in yogurts), these have the fruit at the bottom so you have to stir it.

Their yogurts come in Peach, Blueberry, Vanilla, Strawberry, Honey and Plain and are:

•Made with real dairy, lactose free

•Flourish® is our probiotic rich combination of 10 live & active cultures
•Less added sugar than many yogurts
•Kosher certified and gluten free
•Organic and delicious
•Certified Humane®
