Have you noticed? Vegan yogurt is going through a period of revival.
Let's call it a dairy-free yogurt renaissance. Right now you can find creative, delicious, dreamy plant-based yogurts using almond, coconut and soy ingredients. Unlike when I first went vegan, over ten years ago, today's vegan yogurts are versatile, creamy, silky, sweet and satisfying. Ditching dairy has never been easier. (Even dairy Greek yogurt has some serious competition now!) I spent the past week taste testing all the brands and flavors I could get my hands on. So take a peek at my vegan yogurt reviews + buying guide.
Fall in love with yogurt again. Pop those tops and lets get tasting. I have always loved yogurt. In my pre-vegan days I would stack my fridge shelves with rows of dairy yogurts. From thick, gelatinous custard-style strawberry to fat-free 'Boston Cream Pie' and 'Key Lime Pie' flavors to sweet, creamy vanilla and swirled lemon and blueberry.
I would bring yogurt for school snacks, eat it for breakfast with crunchy granola and fruit, swirl it into smoothies and grab it as a late night snack. Yogurt, it turns out, was a pretty solid comfort food for me. But when I went vegan, I noticed that dairy-free yogurts didn't exactly have their game together. They didn't have the flavor and variety range compared to my dairy yogurt besties, and the texture was a bit, well, off. Eventually, after years of ditching dairy-free yogurts, I found a few options I liked.

A brand called Whole Soy and Co (which recently closed down) nailed the vegan yogurt thing. And Trader Joe's soon had a few ok options in peach and strawberry flavors. But recently, vegan yogurt options have multiplied. And my taste buds couldn't be happier.
Daiya Yogurt Ingredients
This past week as I LOADED my fridge with every vegan yogurt brand and flavor imaginable (and available at my local grocery stores). I nibbled different flavors, did back-to-back taste tests and over all made my gut bacteria very very happy in the process. Yogurt overload! But it turns out, with yogurt, I don't think you can get too much of a good thing. I loved adding one, two or even three yogurts to my day of food! And the reviewing began with scribbles of notes and tests and re-tests. Not a bad gig to take on.
My results are in! Get your yogurt spoons ready. (UPDATE on the Silk yogurt at the bottom of this post.) Vegan Yogurt Buying + Serving Tips: - Sweetness. If you do not like yogurts that are overly sweet, or you like adding your own sweeteners and flavors (like maple syrup, cinnamon and more) choose plain or unsweetened varieties. - Fresh is Best. Always look for the latest 'sell by' date. You may need to dig in the back of the row to find one.
- Fruity and Fun. For a sweet treat yogurt, look for fruity and dessert flavors like strawberry, blueberry and even chocolate.
- DIY Yogurt Flavors. It is easy to create your own DIY customized yogurt flavors at home. Just buy a plain or vanilla flavored yogurt and use these ingredients to create your own DIY yogurt flavors: cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond butter, cinnamon, fruit jams, superfoods like hemp and chia, granola and on and on. - Smoothies + 'Frozen Yogurt' Vegan yogurt is a great substitute for non-dairy milk when making vegan smoothies or 'banana ice cream.' Your smoothie or ice cream will turn out thicker in consistency using yogurt, so add water or non-dairy milk as desired to thin things out. - Probiotics. Vegan yogurt is a source of probiotics.
You may also be getting protein, fiber and healthy fats --depending on what brand you buy. In General: - Coconut-based yogurts tend to have a silky and rich texture, and are higher in fat than soy or almond yogurts. Coconut yogurt usually does not contain as much protein, but does often include a nice boost of fiber. - Almond-based yogurts tend to be lower in calories and have a thin or 'light' texture. They are usually not rich in protein or fiber. However, Kite Hill is an exception to this rule, and is rich in healthy fats. I can assume that the reason for how much fat is in an almond-based yogurt (since almonds are rich in healthy fats as we all know) has to do with how 'watered down' the almond base is.
- Soy-based yogurts tend to have creamy, fluffy texture as well as a nice boost of protein from the legume base. Soy yogurts, like soy milk, for me, tend to mimic dairy the most effectively. Soy yogurts usually contain a bit of fat and fiber, but not much.
