I'm always surprised how hard it is to get artificially sweetened yogurt. I know of only one brand at only one chain of grocery store in my area. It seems like a natural combination.
- hammock 10y agoLook for Dannon Oikos Triple Zero next time (black packaging). It's sugar free and sweetened with stevia.
- Aeolos 10y agoBut why would you want to sweeten your yoghurt? Milk has enough sugars on its own.
- forgotpwagain 10y agoI agree! I wonder if there's a substantial overlap between the set of people who buy yogurt frequently and the set of people who are averse to ~artificial chemicals~ in their food (tildes denoting a bit of sarcasm at chemophobia).
- michaelmior 10y agoI'm always surprised how hard it is to get completely unsweetened yogurt (natural or artificial). The only brands I've seen locally are "organic" yogurts with a hefty price tag.
- maxerickson 10y agoIME most of the plain varieties lack added sugar. There's still plenty of sugar from the milk. I've been eating whole fat greek style US yogurt lately. It tends to have less sugar than other plain yogurts and I am less inclined to add it.
- pacaro 10y agoI have no idea about the economics, but making your own yogurt is extremely easy. You get rather more control of the contents at that point. Fresh yogurt is also naturally sweeter
- vlod 10y agoMaking unsweetened yogurt (plain or greek style) is surprisingly easy. It takes about 1/2 hour and I leave it overnight (in a cooler) to 'develop'. I would recommend more people try it. It's generally better than store bought plain style yogurt and super-cheap. I can get a gallon of milk (on sale, non hormone BST stuff) for about $2 (in CO, US). That will yield the same in yogurt (4 quarts.. I use quart mason jars).
