We could spend hours perusing the yogurt aisle at our grocery store—so many flavors, so many textures and don’t even get us started on the ones in cute little glass jars. While we’re all for a dessert-like treat, sometimes we don’t want a sugar bomb for breakfast (or a snack).
But when it comes to low-sugar yogurt, it can be tricky to know where to start. Are all the flavors off-limits? Is Greek better than regular? What about sugar substitutes? To make matters more confusing, there’s no industry standard for what constitutes “low sugar.” But a “reduced sugar” yogurt is required to have 25 percent less sugar than its full-sugar counterpart. Gah.
To make the selection easier, we’ve settled on these 16 low-sugar yogurt options as the best of the best—based on our own tastes, our coworker’s recommendations and a few rave reviews. (And FYI, for this list, we stuck to yogurts with less than 10 grams of sugar per serving.)

Oatly
PureWow editor Abby Hepworth recommends Oatly’s oat-based yogurt. “The fruit flavors have the regular amount of sugar,” she says, “but the plain is low sugar and is just as delicious. Sometimes plain yogurt tastes just bleh, but because Oatly is made with oat milk, I find it has more flavor overall. And it’s the prefect base for adding mix-ins like almonds, berries or granola.” We couldn’t agree more. The texture is somewhere between a thick Greek-style and a thinner European-style yogurt, and each serving contains 130 calories, 7 grams of sugar and 4 grams of protein, plus vegan cultures for those avoiding animal products.

PureWow managing editor Catrina Yohay is a fan of Trader Joe’s plain, low-fat Greek yogurt. “I prefer 2 percent since it's a little thicker and creamier,” she says, “plus it usually has a bit more healthy fat and protein to keep me fuller longer. It tastes like nothing, so I jazz it up with granola and honey or fruit, or even a teaspoon of jam if I don't have fresh fruit on hand. That way I can control the sugar content and it's still tasty!” One serving contains 130 calories, 5 grams of sugar and 16 grams of protein.
Lavva
This plant-based yogurt doesn’t contain dairy, soy, gluten or artificial sugar. Instead, it’s made with an eight-ingredient blend including coconut, plantains, cassava, lime and the star ingredient, pili—a buttery nut native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. All of its five deliciously creamy flavors are no-sugar-added, and the plain variety contains just 7 grams per serving. We also like that these yogurts contain a blend of seven live vegan probiotic cultures (which translates to 50 billion probiotics per serving).
Siggi's
For how indulgent it tastes, it’s hard to believe Siggi’s whole milk vanilla yogurt contains just 8 grams of sugar per serving (plus 12 grams of protein and 130 calories). It’s extra thick and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness—more of a treat than plain Greek yogurt, but not so cloying that it tastes like dessert.
