Good heavens! is the perfect name for these tasty yogurt drinks.
The bottles are so attractive, I adore the labelling, the bright almost vintage look added a ray of sunshine to a cold and rainy day.
I was sent a selection of the flavours and my eye spotted two I was really keen to try, plus hide away as Conor was hanging around and said, "Please let me trial them for you, or at least open them when I'm back from college!"
Good Heavens was not the reply I wanted to give, but I was kind! I promised I would let him try some, I did say they were for grown ups only, but as he towers above me, I felt I was losing the argument!
I had spotted the Fine Sicilian Lemon and Poppy Seed and the new Indulgent Salted Caramel flavour, the new treat from the Good heavens dairy.
Now yogurt drinks can be a bit hit and miss, sometimes a little too thin, a bit too sour. I would rather have a bowl of yogurt, so I just poured a little into a glass, I love salted caramel flavours, was not sure as a drink though.
I have to say the Salted Caramel is absolutely divine, its thick and creamy, the caramel taste is perfect, the slight hint of salt is balanced well by the sweetness.
If you are new to trying salted Caramel and maybe a bit hesitant about salt and sweet, then please take a risk, I do not like sweet and sour foods combinations, so took longer than most to try it. As Nigella Lawson describes much more passionately than me
“Not since the first infant suckled at its mother’s breast had a food had so much instant impact. If I’d been in a cartoon, my eyes would have bulged, stars would have emanated from my head and I would have been licking my saliva-spurting lips wolfishly.”
It does indeed have an amazing effect on your tastebuds, its confusing at first, but its a flavour that is just so right!
I could not save a single drop for Conor, it was just too tasty to leave. I greedily drank the rest from the bottle, the glass abandoned, this is not how I usually trial products, forgive me but it was so good.
I was quite sad when I had finished it as I wanted more, I can imagine it poured over ice cream, used with maybe cream cheese as a cake filling, even in cupcakes.

I did actually share the other flavours, the Sicilian lemon drinking yogurt was as I expected, zesty sweet and again I did not want to share, this is a favourite flavour in any food or drink for me.I controlled my urges and the rest of the family got to try the rest of the range, boy was it tough. I don't think I could ever share the Indulgent Salted Caramel though!
