14 Best Greek Yogurt Brands, Tested by Nutritionists

If you like ultra-thick Greek yogurt, check out Fage Total 0%. It has a smooth texture with no lumps and serves up a satisfying base for any parfait. We appreciate that the brand lists out the live cultures on the ingredient list. "This is the thickest Greek yogurt I’ve ever had. Incredible. The non-fat tasted like full-fat just because it was so thick," says a tester who comes from a Greek family and adds that their Yiayia uses Fage in her horio recipe.

Our testers can't stop eating this authentic Greek yogurt and neither can online consumers — a 4.5-star rating on Walmart across almost 200 reviews suggests the delicious Greek yogurt is a popular choice in many households. It's a protein-rich option to pair with granola and fresh fruit for breakfast or a mid-day snack.

Each spoonful of this yogurt is perfectly smooth and velvety with the right amount of tang. If you're looking for a buy that is lower in sugar and fat at 5 and 6 grams respectively, reach for this container from the popular Whole Foods brand. It also has 16 grams of protein and is made with live and active cultures, plus the 32-ounce container is the least expensive option on our list at just shy of $5.50! The yogurt has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon across more than 3,400 online reviews, with five-star reviews describing it as thick, creamy and delicious.

Two Good's Vanilla Yogurt is a popular choice among online customers for a low-sugar option at just under $6. Its vanilla flavor gives it some sweetness, and we appreciate that it has 13 grams of protein per serving so you'll feel fuller by the final spoonful. The yogurt is also a good low-calorie option at 90 calories per serving. It has a 4.5-star rating on Target with hundreds of reviews saying, "It’s not too sweet but enough that my kids love it too!" and "By far my favorite Greek yogurt without tons of added sugar!"

While those following a low-carb diet may like this low-sugar yogurt, the alternative sweeteners may have an aftertaste that not everyone will enjoy. Still, the price is right and one customer says they keep at least two containers in the fridge at all times.

With 16 grams of protein per serving and no added sugars, this is Sassos's go-to when feeding her family. It's made from milk from 100% grass-fed cows and contains a variety of live active cultures great for gut health. It's thicker than many other Greek yogurts, and its smooth and creamy texture makes it a great addition to your favorite smoothie or a yogurt-based dip like tzatziki. One tester even commented that you could use the yogurt in the place of sour cream.

"Many times I buy a large size of Greek yogurt and half of it goes to waste," says another taste tester. "I can see actually wanting to eat this yogurt plain and finishing the container." It's a healthy high-protein snack everyone can enjoy.

Tasters loved the flavor of this Greek yogurt which, according to one tester, has "insanely delicious" fruit at the bottom that tastes fresh. Peach pieces and passion fruit purée add a tangy, sweet bite that perfectly contrasts an ultra-creamy, thick Greek yogurt. One consumer tester did point to the price as a con for this yogurt; at around $3 per container, it is on the pricer side for a single serving. However, another survey response mentions the cute glass cup the yogurt comes in and says you can reuse it to get more value from your purchase.

Kids and adults alike should enjoy this yogurt but note that it has 12 grams of sugar. So if you are looking for a low-sugar option or a diabetic-friendly snack, this may not be the Greek yogurt for your needs.

If you or someone in your household is sensitive to dairy, then you'll want to add this Greek yogurt to your grocery list. Lactose-free yogurt is still made of dairy but goes through a process to remove the lactose enzyme so it's easier to digest for those with lactose intolerance. Fage continues to impress us with this version that boasts a rich and creamy but light texture and a mild, slightly cheesy flavor that pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings. Try sliced strawberries or mix in cucumbers and a drizzle of olive oil.

Many other brands we tried had a fake, super-sweet strawberry flavor, but taste testers adored the real fruit taste of this Cabot strawberry Greek yogurt. It is higher in added sugars than unflavored options, so pair it with no-sugar-added granola or fresh fruit for a healthy kid-friendly snack that satisfies. It's lower in fat (at 4 grams per serving) so it may not be as decadent or rich compared to other Greek yogurts on this list. Even though it isn't super creamy, we still enjoy the tart, punchy taste. It also makes for a lighter breakfast base if you prefer a less thick yogurt.

Both our testers and experts love Chobani for its vast selection of different lines, flavors and low-sugar options, which our testers say have a good consistency and slight sweetness. But if you are a coffee lover, this particular flavor is the one for you. Coffee extract injects this elegant, creamy and grown-up yogurt with real java flavor that would taste great for any occasion. The high-protein yogurt will keep you satisfied whether you choose it for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack.

Our testers appreciate the good quality and affordable price point of Chobani's single-serving containers. If you have younger ones at home, opt for Chobani's Raspberry On The Bottom Greek Yogurt for a decaf option.

Some fermented foods like yogurt naturally contain probiotics that help support gut health — including Activia's probiotic-rich Greek yogurt. Each container is full of live and active cultures plus 12 grams of protein to keep you satisfied. One pack of four cups equates to a little over $1 per container, making this an affordable option. And the vanilla flavor goes a long way if you don't love the taste of plain Greek yogurt.

With flecks of actual vanilla bean and 12 grams of protein per serving, this yogurt from Wallaby Organic is a winner in the GH Test Kitchen. One taster mentioned how perfect it would be for her kids — even the yogurt's packaging is adorable with a kangaroo on the outside. It's super creamy and has a mild sweetness that makes it a great base for a breakfast bowl or to add some sweetness to our favorite Greek yogurt pancake recipe. You could even use this yogurt as a healthier dessert option for kids and adults — add fresh fruit and drizzled honey if you have a sweet tooth. It also has an impressive 4.8-star rating on Amazon, so online consumers are enjoying the yogurt just as much as we are.

Maple Hill Creamery's Greek yogurt is a great organic, low-sugar option with just 8 grams of sugar and 15 grams of protein per serving. The brand uses milk from 100% grass-fed cows to make its yogurt and it's USDA- and PCO-certified organic. At 16 ounces per container for a little under $7, this Greek yogurt is one of the more expensive options on our list, but you will get an organic and grass-fed product that tastes extra smooth.

For a dairy-free, plant-based yogurt try Kite Hill's Greek Style Yogurt which is made with almond milk instead of dairy. Our testers say it has a yummy, light flavor and would pair well with fresh berries. Vegan testers, in particular, loved this yogurt because it replicated Greek yogurt's rich and thick consistency, which is not always the case with dairy-free alternatives. It still has 13 grams of protein per serving and just 3 grams of sugar for a great plant-based, low-sugar Greek-style yogurt.

It also contains live and active cultures, is Non-GMO Project verified and contains no artificial preservatives. Sassos says Kite Hill has the best Greek-style yogurt out there and with good ingredients at that. One downside is the higher price tag compared to other options on our list.

Cocojune is another popular plant-based yogurt that contains vegan probiotic cultures. Available in single-serving cups and 16-ounce containers, this yogurt is available in a variety of flavors from pure coconut (pictured) to fun options like vanilla chamomile, lemon elderflower, strawberry rhubarb, mixed berry and more. One GH Editor loves adding the pure coconut flavor to her overnight oats, but for an even easier option, the brand also offers a line of overnight oats for a delicious breakfast on the go.

Cocojune is a slightly more expensive option, which is typical for plant-based yogurts. Our GH editor makes the most of each container by using it in both sweet and savory concoctions, whether it's blueberry muffins or salmon muffins.

Looking for a sweet treat? This pick, made by a Seattle-based brand, balances out the sweetness of the tart passion fruit purée with creamy, handcrafted Greek yogurt. The decadent yogurt is super thick and one tester said, "I think this is the best Greek yogurt I’ve ever had." They appreciated the unique flavors offered, from marionberry to key lime pie. While one tester says the Greek yogurt "felt like dessert," another adds that it was a little too sweet and wouldn't be a great choice for someone following a Keto diet. One serving does have 30 grams of sugar but the brand offers a less sweet option that has only 10 grams per serving. A single-serving container is a bit pricey, but still a standout treat.
