Yogurt brands that don't have fruit bits?

Francl27

Asking for my picky kids. They like flavored yogurt (except vanilla. Of course) but only the kind that doesn't have little fruit bits in them. Any recommendation? I got some Activia last time and they wouldn't touch them.

They don't really like Greek yogurt either.

You're not the only one with fussy children

Fromage frais (any brand) rarely has bits in it. My children will eat the "greek style" stuff as it's just slightly thicker than normal yoghurt.

There are some Activia that don't have bits. The Vanilla is lovely and completely smoother.

Weight watchers also do a twin pack of 2 x Toffee and 2 x Vanilla which again are completely smoother.

Ski have a 'Smooth' range and they are ideal as really fruity but completely smooth. They do these in Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry and I think Blackcurrent :-D

Good Luck :-D

We don't find fromage frais/fromage blanc here, sadly.

They don't like vanilla and I really don't want to give them artificial sweeteners if I can avoid it. I don't know the Ski brand

I know you said that they don't like greek yogurt, but I buy Fage plain, in the bigger tubs, and then add jelly until it tastes right. My kids wouldn't eat yogurt with fruit pieces either, now they're young men and add nuts and oatmeal, seeds--everything to it. Yours will grow up one day (but then there are other problems).

I add "drinking chocolate" to my vanilla yogurt ... or maple syrup ... or, and this one is a recent discovery, chai vanilla instant powder mix!

Sometimes I also add fruit puree to my vanilla yogurt.

Avoid most, fruit flavors; except lemon & lime! Purchase dessert flavors, such as: key lime pie, lemon meringue pie, Boston Cream Pie, cotton candy, etc. or Danimals yogurt drinks, I've had the raspberry with; no fruit bits & they've watermelon! Don't buy any Damimals that, seem close to; vanilla like: marshmallow because there's no, significant difference!

Yeah they like danimals but they chug them down in 2 seconds so it's just not really worth the cost (I actually bought another type of smoothies because it was on sale last time and they destroyed two packages in one day). Kids. Ugh.

I suppose I could go for the overpriced kids yogurts again (the stuff with characters). They still eat go-gurts occasionally but they're almost 9 so I'm trying to buy less 'babyish' stuff lol. They don't like most of the fancy flavors unfortunately... peach, strawberry, raspberry, that's pretty much it.

They won't touch the stuff. Plus frankly I don't want to have to prepare it for them, the point is for them to have something healthy-ish that they can pick themselves.

I make my own. Using baobab powder to sweeten.

Dannon Oikos made with whole milk. I know the strawberry flavor is blended. Texture is nice, not tart, kids and I both love it!

Edited to say oops just noticed you said they don't like Greek yogurt. Might still give it a try. It's very pudding like to me, not overly tangy at all if that's why they object to Greek.

I've found the only non-vanilla flavored yogurt that doesn't have fruit bits is yogurt with honey. Chocolate syrup to Greek yogurt is good.

My dd likes key lime pie flavored yogurt. Store brand or Yoplait I guess. We don't get it often since she likes other things like cottage cheese better than yogurt.

jewels03

Stonyfield Strawberry in the 32 oz container. My kids like that.

ETA: Their website will tell you what stores sell the flavor you're looking for.

My mom made yogurt and we mixed jelly in. I still make yogurt, but I sometimes mix in peanut butter, Nutella or fresh fruit. You could buy plain yogurt and purée fruit if you have a good blender too.

The Dannon custard style tends to be smooth. I used to babysit a boy who would only eat that kind. (It is packaged differently now, 20+ years later, but still the same stuff.)

Lemon or lime rarely has anything in it (one exception) Chobani has lemon peel....but that's Greek yogurt anyway.

Yoplait Boston Creme pie and Creamsicle yogurts are yummy. The Yoplait Whips I've tried don't have bits....coconut creme.....yum.

kd_mazur

my daughter prefers the yoplait whips. she has informed me that she doesn't like "clunks" in her yogurt either:)

Meganthedogmom

I don't think Yoplait has fruit in it, from what I recall

Some flavors do.

Strawberry and blueberry definitely have fruit bits. But there are several varieties (Yoplait) that don't.

katharmonic

I don't like fruit chunks either. I like Siggi's vanilla skyr, but I think their other flavors are good too and as far as I recall don't have chunks. It's very thick and I like the texture better than runny yogurt.

WinoGelato

My kids like Noosa (who doesn't!) and Dannon Greek Key Lime Pie, Lemon Meringue, and Orange Creamsicle. I don't think those taste "greek" ish like my normal Chobani so if you've not tried those flavors, maybe give those a go.

the yoplait whips dont, they also have some plain yogurts with mix ins,yoplait has ones with cookie,nuts and other mix ins now.anything blended should not have fruit chunks in it.chobani has ones with mix ins too with nuts and seeds and other things, just look at the different kinds in your local stores and see whats out there.

cloverdaisy

I love Fage. You get the plain ones and add honey.

UltimateTrashBae

So, like, Trix and Danimals? Or gogurt? I can't do fruit chunks either, the bits make me gag. So, I eat the kids' yogurts. I eat the Danimals pouches so I can have a full serving of yogurt on the go.

Siggi's do have fruit bits in them. I have them all...

steph2strong

I buy my little man Dannon MiniGo. No fruit bits. I get strawberry, blueberry and banana flavours. This is the only yogurt he will eat, I have tried numerous brands.

Sharon_C

Yoplaite Whips. Any whips, actually. My husband has the same issue with fruit in yogurt. Regular Yoplait, orange, lemon, and key lime

Cat3141

You could buy plain yogurt and add pureed fruit to it. This wouldn't be too much work if you bought frozen berries, let them defrost some, and then tossed them in a blender.

VeryKatie

Hahah I was going to say go with vanilla!

But Oikos makes a honey, lime, coconut, etc flavours that are just syrups rather than fruit bits. I'm not sure about their strawberry or blueberry as I haven't bought those since I also don't like fruit bits and don't want to waste my money finding out.

I don't mind fruit yogurts but I do get very bored with the usual selection, and thought for years that there should be non-fruit flavours. We started coming across chocolate yogurts when we were in Switzerland and I was in heaven! But unfortunately we couldn't find any when we got back to Australia. However, just in the last couple years, we've started seeing more non-traditional flavours on the shelves.

I will usually just make my own (as mentioned above) but now and then we'll pick up one of these ...

Chobani has serveral. You want to look for the ones that say "blended". Fruit flavor, but no chunks.
