Is there a plain yogurt without ANY sugar?

Witchy Woman — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 19:58:59 GMT

I bought plain Green yogurt for some "doggy ice cream" treats for my sister-in-laws pup.

I noted 6 grams of sugar in 3/4 cup, which seemed high to me.

Checked a few other brands and it was about the same.

Has anyone found yogurt without ANY sugar, or does it naturally have it?

It's made from milk, and milk has sugar in it naturally.

If there is ADDED sugar, you can tell on the label. Or check the ingredients.

@geezerette

Yes, that is what I concluded after checking several brands in the case.

That is one reason I gave it up long ago.

Even without "added" sugar, there will be naturally occuring sugar.

@Witchy Woman The lowest sugar content I gave found in Greek yogurt is a about 4 grams. That is low for naturally occurring milk sugar. I doubt you will find any with no sugar as milk just has some natural milk sugars.

Chobani plain has 0 added sugar and 4 grams of naturally occuring sugar. That's the lowest I saw.

Thanks for checking...While I don't think the doggie minds, I think I'll just continue to skip it.

The doggie ice cream was pretty tasty, however.

Greek yogurt, bananas and pumpkin or peanut butter. I tasted it before freezing in small cups, and it wasn't bad!

When you find one let me know..I look at the labels and they all have a LOT of sugar.

Somebody from a different forum told me about 2 Good Yogurt. It's got 2 grams of sugar & 0 grams added sugar. My DH found it at Wal-Mart and it came in vanilla, blueberry, mixed berry and peach. I have had all of them except the vanilla one. After having a few extractions & on a soft foods diet they were much better than applesauce and jello.

Yes, it's crazy how much sugar is in everything!

I try to really limit my intake, and, by the time you add everything up, it's so frustrating!

@Witchy Woman So true...I do read the labels on most things and am so surprised at all the added sugar.

I like sweets in general and try to limit where I can.

@geezerette

True. After all, it's baby cow food, right? Gotta have carbs!

I wonder if there are soy, almond, coconut or other dairy alternative yogurts that manage to have no sugar?

@Witchy Woman

Do you try to avoid all sugar, or mostly just added sugar? Aren't they often very different forms of sugar, and have different effects on us? I always thought avoiding all natural sugars is almost impossible and might not even be good for us--it's the added sugar that's a problem.

I'm remembering my diabetic grandmother making apple pies with no added sugar. They were fairly sour, but still very good. Especially with cream on top...oops, there's that dairy again.

I try to avoid as much sugar as possible. Added sugar is the first thing I look for, but will have some fruit...not a lot, but some.

Blueberries, or a peach or something small. I'll even have watermelon this time of year. Yes, I know it is high sugar, but I keep the portions pretty small.

Mostly, I do it for my own well-being. Too much makes me feel sick....and I limit my carbs as much as possible trying to stay with those natural things, but smaller portions.

I learned long ago that both things made me gain weight and affected my physical feelings.

Both parents were adult onset diabetics, but thin people.

In general, sugar is not my friend in any form, so I keep an eye out for all of it. Some days, I do better than others!

@Witchy Woman

That all makes excellent sense. Luckily for me, I don't like sweets much. I keep a box of small dark chocolates around, and only occasionally even eat fruit. I keep swerve in the house for guests who like sugar, and I use maple sugar or coconut sugar if I need a tablespoon in a recipe. If you put a cookie in my hand, I will probably eat it, but I won't bite your hand off getting to it. Now, if only I weren't so drawn to salty things...

Yes. They are often labeled "Plain". Seems like mainstream brands do not make it. I eat a plain whole milk yougurt that's made in a smaller dairy here in WI but it's not always available. If you count carbs or want better nutrition whole milk is the way to go. But so many people are still eating low fat which has now been proven to be a mistake.

I have tried several brands, including the Too Good yogurt. Currently I have the Oikos brand which says 0 added sugar. I get a variety of fruit flavors and I’m sure some of the sugar is naturally in the fruit.
