Sugar free yogurt (not plain)

  • I was looking for some and couldn't find any. Am I crazy and overlooked something that was right in front of my face??

    What brands do you enjoy?
  • I don't think there is actually any completely sugar-free yogurt. There is lactose in milk, and fruit also contains sugar, for example. But there are many brands that are low sugar because they substitute artificial sugar.

    Me, I eat Greek yogurt. It has less sugar without containing artificial sugar, and it has far more protein than other kinds of yogurt, too. I love that it isn't as sweet as other yogurts.
  • Thank you

    I assume this is ok for P2 (I just started this phase)

    I'm just so sick of eggs for breakfast.
  • You can eat fruit flavored yogurt on P2.
  • I've never been able to find completely sugar free yogurt either and am using the Greek plain.
  • FF greek yogurt with splenda and flavoring of your choice = yummy
  • The naturally occurring sugars in dairy and fruit are not a problem with South Beach. This isn't a low carb plan, just a healthy carb plan. We avoid added sugars though so most flavored yogurts are out. From the P2 Food list:
    "Yogurt - artificially sweetened non-fat flavored yogurt (limit to 4 ounces daily and avoid varieties that contain high fructose corn syrup)"

    I don't eat artificial sweeteners but I'm sure other Chicks will have suggestions. I stick with plain yogurt and add my own unsweetened fruit, maybe a little mashed banana if I want something sweeter, or low glycemic sweeteners like agave, palm sugar or stevia. I know many Chicks do also add Splenda. That way you can control the flavor and sweetness.

  • I also use the plain non-fat greek yogurt and add fruit or flavorings to it. I think the Dannon Lite & Fit is close to being SB compatible. It doesn't have any added sugars but does have small amts. of modified corn & tapioca starches.
  • I've been eating Dannon FF plain with some chopped walnuts and a little vanilla extract. That's sweet enough for me, but you could add some sweetener if you want.
