Yogurt?

I don't eat a lot of yogurt, but I'm trying to up my dairy/calcium intake daily because I don't drink milk, eat cheese, etc.

The problem I have is I don't mind the calories (I can work them in) but I HATE HATE HATE artificial sweeteners.

I'm really looking for suggestions on natural yogurts (I don't like Greek Yogurt texture) that taste great, and don't have any crud in them.


Thanks!

    Try Stonyfield Farms, Nancy's or Mountain High. They're organic, have a normal yogurt texture and don't use artificial sweeteners.

    I've used this recipe to make yogurt: it's simple, so very tasty, and, if you add nonfat milk powder to the base, you get extra calcium and a thick yogurt that strains well to make excellent yogurt cheese... So good.

    Liberty brand is organic and delicious...it can be up to 8% milk fat but many flavours come in 2.5% fat....AMAZING stuff, and no artificial sweeteners as far as I know, just good old fashioned sugar

    Cascade yoghurt is great. Has no sugar added, sweetened with juice and or fruit.

    Stonyfield Farms is definately my pick. It's a little pricier, but the taste is so smooth and creamy. MMM. You might also want to try Greek yogurt. It's extra thick and a little more tart, but it's more filling for me.

    I'm with you. I'm anti-greek yogurt. If you have a Kroger/Ralph's/Dillions/whatever-else near you, I'd suggest the carbmaster yogurt - low in carbs, high in protein, and delicious. I eat one almost every day!

    I admit, though, I don't know if they have artificial sweetners in them or not.

    I like the Trader Joe's plain organic yogurt, very tasty and works great in smoothies!
