Yogurt is generally considered a healthy breakfast or snack that is high in protein and satisfying. While yogurt can be good for you, most of the yogurt you find in the supermarket is actually filled with additives, preservatives, loads of sugar, artificial flavors, and colors, and milk with hormones.
All of these additions make yogurt that is not safe and not good for your health or your body. All of the added sugar alone turns once healthy food into junk food.
Luckily, there are some great organic yogurts you can find if you look a bit harder and know what to look for! Reading the nutrition label and peaking at the ingredient list is a must if you want to find yogurt that will nourish your body.
In this post, we will go over what some of the best organic yogurts are that are not only healthy but taste delicious as well.
Smári
Smári is easily the best organic yogurt you can find in many grocery stores across the United States. Not only is the yogurt USDA Certified Organic, but it is extra thick and creamy, higher in protein than Greek yogurt, and very low in sugar. You will find around 17g of protein, 10g sugar, and 110 calories for one single serve a cup of yogurt. Compared to other yogurts with over 25g of sugar and much less protein, this is a solid option!
Siggi’s
Another Icelandic style yogurt makes this list because this ultra-strained yogurt makes for a thick, high protein, and low sugar yogurt option. Although Siggi’s is not organic, it is non-GMO and they ensure all of their milk has no growth hormones. There are also no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or even Stevia.
Siggi’s is so great because you can buy flavors that have a very small amount of organic cane sugar added, but they have also come out with no sugar added yogurt that is simply flavored with fruits and spices and nothing else.
Saint Benoit Creamery
This brand creates a rich and creamy French-style yogurt that is as smooth as silk. Its USDA Certified Organic had around 10g of sugar and comes in simple yummy flavors like Meyer lemon, vanilla, strawberry, and plain. We also love the fact their milk comes from pasture-raised cows and the yogurt is bottled in glass so there is not so much wasted plastic.
Stonyfield Grass-Fed
Stonyfield is one of the more well-known organic yogurt brands. They have recently come out with a grass-fed and organic yogurt option that is very tasty and uses high-quality ingredients. It has a relatively low amount of sugar compared to many other brands, even organic ones and it is colored with natural fruit juices and nothing artificial.
