Hi all! I'm trying to drastically reduce my sugar intake from processed foods.

Any recommendations for tasty low sugar yogurts that do not add artificial sweeteners?
Preferably Greek.

    Steer clear of "blended" or custard style varieties. I just go with Chobani of Fage. The sugar content you see on the label is natural sugar (found in dairy) and added sugar for flavored yogurt. Labels aren't required to list added sugar separately yet.

    Siggi's. High protein and low sugar.

    I usually eat plain, but Siggi's is really good if you absolutely must have a flavored one. Most of the cups run about 11 grams of total sugar, and some of that is just the lactose naturally present in milk.

    Really, though, you're better off by buying plain yogurt and stirring in some of your own honey or jam. You can control the amount that way, and most people don't add as much sugar as they would get by eating a flavored yogurt, since they actually see the sugar going in.

    There are two products we use:

    Greek Gods Whole Milk Yogurt, plain, and Siggi's Whole Milk Icelandic Skyr, also plain.

    We add our own sweetness in the form of fresh berries or fruit, or a drop of honey or real maple syrup.

    Best there is...

    (Don't bother with no-, lo- or 'reduced' fat stuff...eat the real thing, just eat less)

    Fage Plain - I like either 0% or 2%. Even with other plain yogurts, check the labels!! All you really need in yogurt is milk and bacteria - anything else is just a useless additive.

    Plain yogurt. As far as I know, the flavoured ones all have added sugar or fake sugar.

    Since plain yogurt is being mentioned, Noosa makes a very delicious plain yogurt.

    If you don't mind adding some sugar, find a jam you like (or fruit and/or honey) and add however much you like.

    Get bulk plain greek yogurt from Costco, Kirkland brand. 10c, 0f, 23p. Great macros.

    I eat Siggi's nonfat vanilla for breakfast 5 days a week, and I LOVE IT. 14g protein, 9g sugar.

    I eat plain nonfat greek yogurt a lot, too, mostly as substitute for mayo and sour cream.

    I just eat Fage 2% plain.

    Me too. Or 0%, depending. The sugar is about the same. I add more sugar in the form of berries, usually, however.

    Stonyfield Whole Milk Plain.

    For me: Add strawberries and sliced almonds.

    For my kids: Add bananas and vanilla.

    Also- if you go for flavoured yogurt, get the "non-fat/lowfat" version (they typically add a LOT less sugar to those to keep the calorie count lower).
