What brand is considered the “healthiest” yogurt that contains NO artificial sweetener?

    Cabot and Stonyfield don't use artificial sweeteners (or rBST, or GMO corn, soybeans or alfalfa).

    I always have a quart of Cabot low fat Greek vanilla on hand and add fruit as desired, and keep some plain on hand for cooking. I use either the plain or vanilla for a buttermilk substitute in baking - I thin it with an equal amount of water.

    I like the Greek b/c it is higher protein.

    I like Siggi's. Low in sugar, no artificial sweetener either.

    I get a tub of Astro Balkan style, two litres of whole milk, and convert the milk to yogurt. I like it, which in my books makes it the best.

    Yes. And higher protein. I love it. I also like Wallaby Organic Greek.

    skyr plain, no sugar is pretty good & bland. Fage 0% is my typical greek yogurt of choice (~480kcal for an entire 1kg tub), also bland & thick. Chobani 0% is a good choice if your prefer a more runny (less thick) texture with a more traditional sour yogurt taste (my favorite if using as a seasoning/dressing for the sourness)

    That being said, I do like flavoring greek yogurt/skyr with vanilla/hazelnut artificial flavoring (nothing wrong with sweeteners)

    Agree to everything, except that skyr isn't yogurt.

    Healthiest is very subjective but my favourite is Chobani plain Greek yogurt. To this I will add plain cacao powder, berries and nuts for a yummy dessert.

    I have recently starting making my own in my Instant Pot and it is amazing. I use Goats Milk due to a cow dairy intolerance, but have done it with cow dairy as well. When using cow dairy I would use local, grass fed, raw milk because that is what I was also drinking. The only ingredients are whole milk and a starter. Then when you eat it, you can add whatever you want and you literally know every ingredient going in to it.

    Fage full fat or Onken Set yoghurt. Both great with fruit etc and also to use for salad dressings, curries etc.

    These are my two. Both in plain, high fat. Add a little bit of finely chopped dark chocolate, and that's my breakfast.

    Look into Skyr. It is Icelandic yogurt.

    Go for plain yogurt, fat level of choice and mix in quality jam or PB2.

    This is exactly what I do. Most mornings I add 4 tbs chocolate PB2 to 8 oz of store brand plain fat free yogurt (full fat would be okay, but it is easier to find fat free in generics) or store brand fruit preserves. I like to keep it economical. It is healthy because it is part of my diet that provides enough nutrients and not too many calories.

    We had goats when I was a kid and I grew up on goat's milk. I never developed a taste for drinking cow's milk. I like lots of dairy products, but not milk.

    I discovered Oikos Triple Zero a few months ago and will never go back to other yogurt. It’s amazing

    Exactly what I was going to say. 15 g protein, 110 calories, right off the shelf, and yummy. Wait -+ did I just say ' yummy' ....

    I make my yogurt using 2x fat free milk powder + 1 full fat milk powder. I like it, but I don't eat it plain. I add peanut powder and granola to it for more protein and texture.
