Pretty thick texture (not quite Greek-yogurt thick, but don’t think that’s what they’re aiming for). Stonyfield O’Soy (Vanilla): We prefer coconut over soy, which is why we put Trader Joe’s slightly above, but to be honest they ranked very close.The texture isn’t winning any beauty-awards, and it verges on tasting bland, but at least the flavor didn’t offend us. It’s very jello-like, so be prepared to stir it a lot - and even then it won’t get that smooth. However, the texture was the worst of the bunch. Trader Joe’s Cultured Coconut Milk (Vanilla): The taste on this one isn’t bad, provided you like coconut.However, it did taste too sweet for our liking (17g sugar), and had an artificial aftertaste. You could see flecks of vanilla bean, which was a nice touch. Silk Dairy-Free (Vanilla): This soy-based yogurt was decent.That said, we’d happily dig into this one too. And, the vanilla (which comes from “natural flavor”) tasted ever-so-slightly artificial, which put it a smidge behind. It definitely tastes sweeter than Forager (16g vs. So Delicious is thicker in texture, which we liked. So Delicious Coconutmilk (Vanilla): This was a really tough call, and to be honest, both Forager and So Delicious could take the number one spot.As with other Forager yogurts, it’s a bit more on the runny side and you do have to like the slight cashew-y taste to rank this as number one. Forager had the right level of sweetness we’d want in a vanilla yogurt. We liked that you could see the flecks of real vanilla bean, and overall, the vanilla flavor tasted more natural. We were expecting the same results here, but actually found Forager to take the lead. Forager Cashewgurt (Vanilla): In our plain yogurt taste test, So Delicious beat out Forager.We bought everything ourselves and are sharing our true, uncensored opinions.

We’d love to hear if you agree with us (or not)! Feel free to share which ones you love in the comments section below. We had two (sometimes four) people testing the yogurt and this is how we’d all rank them. Or, view flavored yogurt as the occasional treat and just enjoy it!Īnd before we move onto the results of the test, we do want to let you know that taste is obviously subjective. fresh fruit, jam, etc.) for more control. But if you’re worried about the sugar in flavored yogurts, we’d suggest buying plain/unsweetened and adding your own source of flavoring (e.g. We make note of sugar in this review insofar as it affects the taste (e.g. If you’re choosing to indulge in flavored yogurt, we’re assuming you’re already accepting that there’s going to be sugar inside of it. Obviously, flavored yogurts come with more added sugar than plain/unsweetened varieties. When it comes to flavored yogurt, an extra element is usually the sugar content. In our world, if something tastes horrible, there’s no amount of texture or ingredient benefits that could get us excited to eat it. Taste was by far the most important criteria. We judged based on taste, texture, and ingredients. In short, you can trust us when we say it tastes like the “real thing”. As we shared in part one of this series, we do occasionally eat dairy, so we also bought dairy-based yogurt for comparison purposes. For close calls, we had a couple friends taste for us as well. We then tested again the next day to ensure we still agreed with the results from the day before. For this vegan flavored yogurt taste test, that translated to 20 individual flavor/brand combinations, bought from Whole Foods, Fred Meyers and Trader Joe’s.įor the most consistency in testing, we covered one flavor at a time and went through all the brands head-to-head. Sadly, we have a lot less variety up north, but that didn’t stop us from bringing back as many dairy-free yogurts as we could get our hands on. Jump to:Īs Canadians, our quest to find the best vegan yogurt took us across the US border. Keep reading to find out which brands top the list for each vanilla, strawberry and blueberry. What we discovered is that it isn’t a winner take-all situation. So, we rounded up 6-7 brands for each flavor and then compared them. Call us nerds, but that doesn’t seem like the truest test.
A lot of yogurt reviews out there compare totally different flavors across brands - like vanilla from brand one, and then peach from brand two. After doing a head-to-head taste test on a number of plain yogurts ( here), we suspected that flavored yogurts would be a whole other ball game. If vegan/dairy-free yogurts are your jam - and you’re a sucker for the flavored kind - then we have your back.
