Living in London for the past year, I’ve really missed many of the brands I loved in the U.S. (Kashi!), but I’ve also grown quite fond of a few British ones that I never tried in the states. For one, I’m now utterly addicted to Rachel’s Dairy yogurt. My fiancé and I often go through a couple of cartons a week, so I was excited to learn that the brand launched in the U.S. in late 2007.

Called Rachel’s Wickedly Delicious in the U.S., and distributed by White Wave, the line was originally founded in the U.K. in 1984, and was a soaring success right from the get-go. All Rachel’s products are free of artificial flavors, preservatives and sweeteners; there is no high-fructose corn syrup, GMOs or artificial growth hormones. The company uses only premium natural ingredients and you can really tell the difference. Rachel’s yogurt tastes pure, healthy and wholesome – there is no saccharine aftertaste or outrageous flavors—ahem, Boston Cream Pie and Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Rachel’s is available in two different flavor lines. The Essence line features five mood-inspiring flavors: Revive Peach Green Tea, Refresh Pink Grapefruit Lychee, Vitality Pomegranate Acai, Relax Vanilla Chai and Calm Plum Honey Lavender. The Exotic yogurts are pure fruit indulgences, available in Pomegranate Blueberry, Cherry Black Currant, Orange Strawberry Mango, Mango Pineapple Passion Fruit, and Kiwi Passion Fruit Lime.
