If the goal was to top one of the biggest dairy yogurt makers, they may have succeeded. Silk Dairy Free Yogurt takes cultured milk beverage to a new sweet and dreamy level.
But first, lets address the elephant in the room. Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative is soy-based. Why do I still like it? It is made with whole, non-GMO soy and not with genetically-modified soy and not soy protein, soy isolates, or soy concentrates. The latter are the types of soy that tend to get a thumbs down from scientific studies when eaten in excess. Fermented soy and whole soy foods actually don’t have a bad rap in the research. Just enjoy in moderation is the mantra I take with all foods! Plus, let’s face it, soy has been largely unbeatable as a base for yogurt substitutes.
Tasting Notes for Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative
Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative has a creamy, perfectly thick consistency and a flavor that certainly doesn’t smack of soy. The Vanilla had marvelous little flecks of vanilla bean! It had a rich, sweet taste with the perfect hint of yogurt-y tang. The Peach & Mango was like summer in a cup. The bright fruits and seamless taste beckoned to beloved dairy yogurts on the market, and made Tony say, “it tastes like Yoplait!”. Black Cherry isn’t the first variety I would usually reach for, but the dessert-like quality made it irresistible.
Which brings me to the one caveat for Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative. Like most dairy-based yogurts, the flavored varieties have 16 to 17 grams of sugars per serving. This is a bit steep for my breakfast. But considering the other virtues, I think it makes a wonderful afternoon or evening treat.
Since it is made with whole soybeans, each serving of Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative has 6 grams of natural, plant-based protein and 20% of the RDA for calcium without fortification. It is also fortified with vitamin D2 for a bigger bone health boost. And of course, it is carrageenan-free and each bite is stocked with dairy-free live and active cultures (a.k.a. probiotics). Plus, for those of us who want a lower sugar option, Silk has delivered.
Silk now offers larger 24-ounce tubs of select varieties, including Simply Plain. This no frills flavor is lower in sugars (7 grams per cup) and has a much less sweet, more versatile flavor profile. I still have to get my hands on a tub to give it a full test, because I have only sampled a little trade show taste, thus far!

I was very disappointed with silk coconut yogurt. It’s soooo thin and just tastes bad. It’s hardly “yogurt”. And it’s so overpriced. Seven dollars for the regular size.

I was taken at back when I opened the conyainer of vanilla. The image on the package gives the image of white yogurt. I wasn’t sure it was still good. The flavour is good.
Response from Go Dairy Free
Julie, I’m not sure what the package image you have looks like, but the pictures I’ve posted here are actual for what it looks like. It isn’t white, but more of a yellow-ish beige.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free option that rivals popular dairy yogurts in taste and consistency, then this could be your holy grail. Not only does it offer satisfyingly sweet, slightly tangy flavors and the perfect creamy consistency (without carrageenan!), it’s also naturally equivalent in protein and calcium. But like those dairy-based yogurts, these are a bit high in sugars (aside from the Simply Plain with just 7 grams per cup). To note, these have a base of non-GMO, whole soy (not isolates).

Dairy-free no longer means giving up yogurt. There are now dozens of options on the market! But I must confess that some might not meet your expectations. So we taste-tested our way through every offering and product line we could find and identified the 10 best dairy-free yogurt brands on the market. They all happen to be plant-based, vegan, and carrageenan-free. And you will find many nut-free, soy-free, coconut-free, and even paleo options.
Enjoy our countdown below of coconut, almond, cashew, soy, and top allergen-free yogurts. Then comment with your favorite!
Our Top 10 List of Dairy-Free Yogurt Brands
We found well over 20 dairy-free yogurt brands (by individual product line) to taste test. But these are the ones that will make it into our shopping cart again.
For Low Sugar Needs: Please note that the nutrition facts and ingredients are one sample flavor. If they had a “Plain” we used that one. We purposely used a sweetened variety, if they have one, so that you could see what type of sweetener the brand uses, if any. Several of these do have no sugar added / unsweetened varieties, so be sure to read the details if you are looking for lower sugars!
#10 – Stonyfield’s Organic Dairy-Free Soy Yogurt
Formerly known as O’Soy, this yogurt line once had some confusing dairy labeling issues and later a recall. To shed their spotted past, Stonyfield is rebranding with a bolder “dairy-free” label (shown below) and without the O’Soy name. This yogurt brand isn’t quite as great as long lost WholeSoy, but it still covers organic soy yogurt needs with good flavors and a smooth consistency. And it’s a fun option for “fruit on the bottom” fans.
Ingredients (Vanilla Flavor): cultured pasteurized organic soy milk, organic cane sugar, organic natural vanilla flavor, calcium carbonate, natural flavor, pectin, s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus, l. acidophilus, and bifidus
#9 – Coconut Dream Non-Dairy Yogurt
Note: We just found out this line is discontinuing, but we expect new things from the Dream brand soon.
This dessert-worthy yogurt has a consistency that’s quite similar to “traditional” low-fat dairy-based yogurt, but with less tang, and more flavorful sweetness. I wanted to add Almond Dream to this top 10 list of dairy-free yogurt brands, too (it’s also sweet and flavorful). But the consistency of that product line is too inconsistent – sometimes creamy, sometimes gelatinous. Thus far, we haven’t seen any issues with Dream’s coconut line.
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): coconut base (water, coconut cream), evaporated cane syrup, stabilizer blend (corn starch, tapioca maltodextrin, pectin, locust bean gum), tapioca fiber, tricalcium phosphate, cultures (l. acidophilus, bifidobacterium lactis, s. thermophilus, l. delbrueckii), antimicrobial (from culture)
#8 – Good Karma Dairy-Free Yogurt
This is the best top allergen-free, coconut-free yogurt that we’ve tried. It’s tough to make yogurt without dairy, let alone nuts, soy, and coconut. But Good Karma pulled off a very “yogurt-y” consistency. It’s quite creamy instead of gelatinous. The flavor is a bit sweet, but this can be necessary to counteract protein bitterness. And the nice big fruit chunks made it feel a little more wholesome.
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): cultured pasteurized flaxmilk (filtered water, cold pressed flax oil), pea protein isolate, cane sugar, corn starch (unmodified, identity preserved), tapioca starch, agar, locust bean gum, citric acid, cultured dextrose, tricalcium phosphate, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, vitamin a palmitate, vitamin d2, vitamin b12. contains 7 live and active cultures: streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, bifidobacterium lactis, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus lactis
#7 – Cocoyo Living Coconut Yogurt
This very virtuous brand disappeared several years ago, but it was purchased by GT’s and brought back to life! It’s the “cleanest” on the market and has a unique, but tasty, effervescence. And it boasts a whopping 25 billion probiotics per 1/2 cup serving with no added sugar.
Ingredients (Pure Flavor): raw young coconut, raw young coconut water, probiotic cultures (the flavored varieties are sweetened with a touch of stevia)
#6 – So Delicious Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative
In recent years, So Delicious abandoned their other dairy-free yogurt brands to focus exclusively on their classic coconutmilk line. Now they have a plethora of flavors in single-serve cups and multi-serve tubs that can be found in grocers everywhere. I’m most loyal to their Unsweetened variety, which offers so much versatility in recipes and seems to work the best with their carrageenan-free formula (they removed the carrageenan a few years ago). Some of the fruit flavors can be a little lumpy depending on the batch.
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): organic coconutmilk (filtered water, organic coconut cream), organic cane sugar, rice starch, less than 2% of: calcium citrate, pectin, live and active cultures, vitamin d2, vitamin b12
#5 – Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative Made with Soy
I believe this is the highest protein option on the market, and without any added protein. Consequently, it has a very smooth consistency that beckons to dairy yogurt. In fact, Tony exclaimed “Yoplait!” when he sampled one of the flavors. It’s satisfyingly sweet with a slight tang. The cups come only in flavors, but you can buy the lower sugar Plain variety in larger tubs.
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): soymilk (filtered water, soybeans), cane sugar, contains 2% or less of: live and active cultures, corn starch, natural flavor, pectin, tricalcium phosphate, citric acid, dipotassium phosphate, sea salt, mixed tocopherols (to protect flavor), vitamin c ester, vitamin d2
#4 – Coyo Coconut Yogurt Alternative
Holy uncow! It’s straight up cultured coconut cream. This stuff isn’t cheap, but it’s so unbelievably thick and rich that I usually break one serving into three. It’s the perfect healthy dollop atop granola, fresh fruit, or even dessert! Coyo used to use stevia to sweeten, but it was cut from the formula. Now this flavor-on-the-bottom brand doesn’t use any added sweeteners.
Ingredients (Natural Flavor): coconut cream (coconut extract, water), tapioca, pectin and probiotic cultures; b. bifidum, b. lactis, l. acidophilus, l. casei, l. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, l. rhamnosus, streptococcus thermophilus.
#3 – Forager Project Organic Coconut Cashewgurt
Forager’s original Cashewgurt line isn’t bad, but it lacks well-rounded flavors and a full-bodied consistency. This newer Coconut Cashewgurt line picks up where it left off. Both of their dairy-free yogurt brands are made with cashews and coconut, but the latter has a higher ratio of coconut cream for a richer finish that melds nicely with fruity flavors.
Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Vanilla
Ingredients (Lime Flavor): coconut & cashewmilk (filtered water, coconut cream*, cashews*), cane sugar*, tapioca starch*, lemon*, pectin, natural flavor, locust bean gum*, fruit and vegetable juice (for color), agar, lemon juice concentrate*, live active cultures (s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus, l. acidophilus, bifidus, l. lactis, l. plantarum) *organic
#2 – Coconut Collaborative
Putlocker harry potter goblet of fire. I had the chance to try this scrumptious fruit-on-the-bottom, no added sweetener yogurt at a tradeshow, and was reminded of it by a reader named Katie:
I found a DELICIOUS dairy free yogurt at Wegmans. It is from a company called The Coconut Collaborative. They have 3 or 4 flavors and by far has the most dairy-like tasting notes and texture without actually having dairy.
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): coconut milk (coconut extract, coconut water, water), tapioca starch, potato starch, pectin, non-dairy cultures (s.thermophilus + l.bulgaricus, lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium lactis)
#1 – Silk Almondmilk Yogurt Alternative
Silk struck the perfect balance between simple wholesome ingredients, creamy consistency, and delicious flavor with their almondmilk yogurt line. Unlike many dairy-free almond-based products, they use a good does of real almonds to provide richness and nutrition. In fact, it’s such good quality, that you can make amazing dairy-free yogurt cheese with it!
Ingredients (Plain Flavor): almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), cane sugar, contains 2% or less of: calcium citrate, pectin, live and active cultures, vitamin d2
*Know Your Needs! By ingredients, all of the products listed above are dairy-free. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. All products are at some degree of risk for cross-contamination with allergens, but you must determine if the protocols are safe for your needs. Also processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.
